Hepatitis C Support : Spotlight Sunday

Good morning folks,
.
Today on the blog is inspiration Sunday with a spotlight on support sites around the web. As you all know the greater number of websites online are in place to generate revenue. There are however many exceptions and this morning I wanted to share with you my favorites.
This quote serves as a perfect prelude to this mornings "Spotlight Sunday"
.
There are two types of people - those who come into a room and say, "Well, here I am!" and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are."Frederick L. Collins

The first website is one that I am particularly found of; it is without exception a completely charming site that communicates a strong message.


"The Fight Like A Girl Club"

The Fight Like A Girl Club was formed to provide a welcoming place where women battling cancer and other diseases, survivors, and loved ones can come together to share stories, experiences, hope, and encouragement with one another, a place where you can come to relax and devote time to yourself, a place where you feel accepted and cared about, a place to soothe your soul with meditations, poems, and inspirational quotes, to release your fears and anxieties through sharing and writing, to put your problems on the backburner while playing games and puzzles, to request Prayer from others who truly care, a place to CLAIM YOUR POWER!
.
Our very own notable Ricki has authored some informational and personal stories at Fight Like A Girl. I am a devoted fan of Ricki and highly regard the knowledge she has brought to us through her blog/facebook and here at Fight Like A Girl.

Well, it all started on a dark and stormy night on February 17th, 1981 (just kidding… it could have been a nice sunny day for all I know… just being dramatic) Either way it doesn’t really start then anyways

My best friend and I were in the diner, talking. As usual, it was very late and we were eating French fries with gravy. Like normal girls our age, we spent a lot of time in the diner while in college, and most of the time we spent talking about boys, music or trivial things, that seemed very important at the time.
