Interview

Wow, I can't believe it!  I've been interviewed for a national magazine for a story they are working on about shingles.  They found my story on my blog and thought I had something interesting to share.  How cool!

I have no idea how much of my interview will be used.  I don't know when it is going to run.  I basically know nothing about when and where this will be published.  But, I couldn't wait to share the news.

A couple of months ago, I was ready to shut down my blog altogether.  Someone encouraged me to continue to writing through a compliment she gave me.  (Thanks again, C.H.!)  I had begun to believe that my blog was not interesting to anyone, nor had it helped.  If I had listened to my own less-than-confident thoughts, the reporter would never have been able to find my journey.  It would have been hidden forever in Blogger purgatory.

Everything happens for a reason.  I spent the summer writing on this blog, and I know that I won't be able to tend to it the way I have for the past few weeks.  But, I will check in as I can.  Hopefully this year I will be able to share more of what we are doing in the classroom.  Since I now have a (working) camera in my phone, it sure will be a lot easier!

Tomorrow I start a full-time schedule.  So, if you don't hear from me for awhile, don't think I've disappeared.  I'll be back soon!  Fall break is in October.  I will DEFINITELY be sharing a link to the news article when it comes out.  I can't wait to see what the reporter does with my answers!
