Overcoming Obstacles to Obtain Your Dreams

March 12, 2013 By Mary Hill 7 Comments

Today’s prompt asked if there was something getting in the way of my dreams.  On my BlogHer post I wrote about my struggle with ankylosing spondylitis.  Pain is one of the primary features of this illness and somedays it is hard to overcome and push through the pain.  The one thing lately that has kept me going is blogging.  I want to reach a large audience and help people with my writing.  I love to write. I think writing is my way of overcoming and pushing through. I also want to write poetry and fiction.  I am working on a novel now and hope to get it published.

You can see my other post at : http://www.blogher.com/obstacles-taking-big-risks

Today’s wonderful art work was done by Kevin Bird of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. If you want to see more of his work visit this link:  http://hyperballad22.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0 .  

Thanks for to all that are starting to follow my blog.  I really appreciate your support.

    Great post and beautiful art! I covered AS over Rare Disease Day not to long ago. A friend of mine has AS and I am actually seeing a specialist this week because my PCP thinks I may have a bone fusing issue. Not sure what will come of it though.
    Here is the guest post on AS over at Just Mildly Medicated.

    Pain is awful. My Dh also has chronic pain. I’m glad you’ve found a way to cope though. As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you. Blessings, Love and Light. SWC
