Stepping out of the shadow of facial paralysis
« on: October 05, 2013, 06:06:18 pm »
After five years of living in the shadow of facial paralysis, I am trying to move beyond it by entering a Facebook contest. If I win, it will be a way to bring HFS facial paralysis into the public eye. If you belong to Facebook and are interested in supporting me, please “like” my picture at http://tinyurl.com/madhousewifesara. Thanks!

I "liked" you and you look marvelous!  There is no way of knowing what you have dealt with from looking at the picture.  Good luck with the contest.

Thank you so much for your kind comment as well as your vote, Mindy. I think I had to take about 150 shots to get that one. I think it's been good for me to try something out of my comfort zone.
