I'm just finishing the Inspirational Stories booklet for the Birmingham event on 1st September. It's looking great. Still some editing to be done so not quite there yet.

On the last page I thought about adding some quotes which may have inspired us along our journeys. I think this would be a really nice way to finish it.

Would anyone like to add their own special quote that may have spurred them along? Funny or serious ones. Not necessarily linked to diabetes.

Thanks.

Hi,
the one I am inspired by at the moment is

“I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship” Louise M. Alcott

Good luck for the event in Birmingham!

Stolen/paraphrased from @Dillinger:

Ignore your diabetes all you want ... just don't make the mistake of thinking it's ignoring you back.

You can't outrun a bad diet.
