Who's That Girl?

Last year was a rough one for me. The issues I had with my heart and the complications that came along with surgery were a lot to deal with during the holidays. 

One day as I was dragging myself around the house feeling miserable I heard my doorbell ring. When I opened the door I saw a box sitting there as the tail end of the delivery van sped off. Inside the box was a shawl and note explaining the shawl was actually part of a ministry. This prayer shawl was made by loving hands that prayed it would provide comfort and warmth to whomever received it. 

This came from a dear friend of mine in the DOC, Jess. I should say that Jess did not make it but it was her church's ministry that sent it and it did exactly what it was supposed to do.

Jess is a type 1 blogger and diabetes advocate. Her passion comes from a struggle with lows as a kid and a spirit of caring for people who need a voice. Jess works with the You Can Do This Project which is another passion of hers. 

There are few people in the this world that bring a comfort and safety with them wherever they go. When Jess is around I have this sense of calm and peace. She genuinely cares about people so much so that I literally feel better when she's around. It's weird but I know you know what I mean.

Jess' blog is called Me and D and I highly suggest you add it to your reading schedule. Jess makes me want to be a better advocate because I see how much joy helping others can bring. She is a major inspiration for me and major friend!

Share your Jess love below. She's the best!
