Good morning, @dimitra33 I’m so incredibly touched by your gracious comments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We really never know how our words will impact people do we?

I was actually hesitant to do the interview and now realize, when I see such wonderful comments as yours, that it is so important to help inspire others to keep positive in the face of adversity. That we all have the strength within us to make the changes we need to survive or feel good about ourselves, to help and to heal. I’m honored to be ambassador for Connect.

Well, now you’re the one inspiring me today. That’s what this community forum is about. We share our life journeys and our personal experiences to help provide answers, to have open conversations about anything, to inspire, to encourage and sometimes to just listen.

By the way, Welcome to Mayo Connect. I’m so pleased you found us. We have over 70 specialty groups in Connect and each group has tons of separate conversations, all with members willing to join in to help each other. I hope that you’ll search around and find groups that interest you. Feel free join in any conversation and be part of this big family and to share you story.

May I ask what you were searching for that brought you to Connect?

Who are you referring to? Welcome to Mayo Connect
