So many awesome links already on the first day!!! I can't wait to post mine... hopefully tomorrow if the technology will cooperate with me! SO excited for this much-needed project!
So far, I've watched two videos and cried three times (disproportional I know, but still!). Written the script for mine, waiting for some pics to be emailed!
Sarah and I enjoyed watching several videos yesterday. It really is amazing to see other folks stories and how similar and different they all are. I recorded a video of Sarah yesterday, and hope to have it ready to post within the next day or two. Love it! Michelle Gonzalez
This is a great project Kim. The videos are great and will be a great support system for people living with type 1. Thanks for taking that idea and making it reality!
You Can Do This has pretty much become my new mantra lately, and I feel like WHOLE new attitude about diabetes. I can't really say anything that everybody hasn't already said, but Thanks you (though that hardly seems to cover it) will work for now :)
Thanks for putting this project together. I'm happy to have been the 17th person to contribute and I look forward to watching all the videos. I hope we get at least 100 videos.
Kim, this is amazing at how many more people we keep getting to add videos and blog posts! i'm literally crying seeing some of the videos hearing stories! I'm getting ready to post my first ever video post, and you have inspired me (along with Kerri and Ginger with their super DOC video work) to finally venture into the vlog world... I suppose it's time! I'll be posting as soon as my technologically inept self can get it all together! :) (dHugs) and you are AWESOME!
Kim - This project is amazing. It's amazing how stepping out from the shadows and telling one's story can help someone who's struggling. Thank you. Diabetes can be a dark, dark world and it's so nice to know we're NOT alone!
I have never during my 22 years with type 1 felt that I couldn't do it. As much as I hate it at times, it is who I am and I truly feel I am better because of it. Hope, determination, and perseverence make all the difference.
Thanks for orchestrating this Kim. It's quite amazing, and I'm continually blown away by each new video. I hope once I get my video done that it touches others as much as theirs have touched me.
Hey Kim, I have tried submitting my project a couple of times and I don't see it on here. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any tips would be appreciated. What a wonderful idea!
Reyna - A couple of people have had the same issue, and I wish I knew why! I'd be happy to add your link myself, and see if that will work. Thanks for letting me know! :)
Bean and I had such a great time doing our video! Thanks, again, for spearheading this! Such a great variety of stories with the same underlying message!
OK, I know that this project started a little while ago but I'm totally in...just a little behind. Love listening to and reading everyone's you can do its. Wonderful idea Kim!!
Best. Project. Ever!!! I need a little alone time to make my video, and with the boys being home for summer..."alone time" does not exist. But I will find my window! I CAN DO THIS!!!
I'm still not through watching all of the videos, and more keep getting posted... AWESOME! This project is super amazing wonderful, and the videos are super inspirational! I LOVE IT! :) Thanks kim! <3 :)
This project got Caleb to open up for the first time. I think he's finally at the age where he can formulate his feelings in a way to properly convey them. It's been great to get inside his mind. Is it wrong to post 2 videos?
I still want to contribute a video....although my available technology to do so is quite limited. Still, I've loved being a viewer, hearing everyone's stories and learning from their experiences.
Have enjoyed watching the video's and reading the blogs. I'm newly diagnosed 5 1/2 months now I will post something when I feel I have something to contribute. I love the Lauren's Hope ID bracelets, would love to win one.
Kim, so happy to have had the chance to get to know you IRL! I hope it's not a whole year before we see each other again. Keep up the great work on YCDT!! h
We are working on a video! Sweets is helping come up with ideas... she has a million things she wants to do and have me video her. So it's taking a bit... But it's so fun! And we both love watching the others! :)
Such a great project. So many stories, some similar to mine, some very different but the thing that makes this project what it is, is that they are all here to tell their story. It tells a lot about what this community is and how strong we all are. I am so happy to be a part of it and am so proud of everyone who has shared their story.
This is a wonderful project and when I watched the videos (at work fo coures) I found myself reaching for the tissues nad tearing up something fierce. What an emotional moment that created. Thank you for all of your hard work on this and to everyone else who participated. You all rock! Amanda (T1 x 21 yrs)
I know it sounds cheesy, but every time I watch a video it makes me feel like I've just made a new friend. Seriously, what an amazing project this has turned out to be. I can't thank you enough for strengthening the DOC!!
if i were a newly dx'd diabetic i would love for someone to tell me about this fabulous thing you have created!! i have had D for 36yrs, and i have watched/read each of the entries and loved them all. still trying to get mine together! hopefully soon!
The DOC is awesome. Not only is it great to know I'm not alone but also that the community I belong to because of Diabetes is full of people who are strong, thriving, and overcoming adversity on a daily basis.
Colleen makes me proud every day dxd Oct 3, 1999 at the tender age of 3years old. I know she Can -Do -This with the great support she gets from the DOC! Live well with Diabetes!
Great project!! :)) I LOVE this idea... I WILL do this!!
ReplyDeleteAWEsometastic. Wrote a blog post today. :-)
ReplyDeleteBtw, the url box, submitting a link, only 50 character limit... possible to change? Just a thought.
You ROCK, Kim. TOtally. Thank you, thank YOU for doing this and for being You!!! xoxo
DOH! Link title, not url. I'm a dork. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteHey Crystal! Simply Linked doesn't give me a lot of customization options, unfortunately. :( I think 50 characters is the most it can do.
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome links already on the first day!!! I can't wait to post mine... hopefully tomorrow if the technology will cooperate with me! SO excited for this much-needed project!
