Posted at 04:45h in Life by Deborah Main 0 Comments

This is a test from my phone to see if I can write a blog post and post it right away. Cause I want to be able to do little posts from NYC for y’all next week. Getting soooo excited about #BlogTourNYC I can hardly stand it!!! This tour is sponsored by Modenus and many other international brands. Be sure to check out our recent blog post about our sponsors. I leave for NYC in just 2 days and I can’t wait!!

But first, here is my hubbie David Latimer, dear friend Lynn Medlin and I at the #SXSW book signing afterparty for our longtime friend James Big Boy Medlin (Lynns husband). Michael Ventura published Big Boy’s first book Slap Noir which is totally cool; David’s holding a copy. Can’t wait to read it!! Congratulations Big!!!

Below is the author himself, James Medlin, (aka Big Boy…..Don’t ask me how he got that name. I just know he’s a legend from UT “College House” days and The Sun newspaper back in the ’60’s), here with Austin singer/songwriter icon, Joe Ely, and my sweet husband, David Latimer. Three great men making history in their own unique ways!

Stay tuned as Deborah Main Designs will be announcing the winner next week of a copy of Thomas O’Briens new book Aero: Beginning to Now , so be sure to comment on my last blog post right away for your chance to win that book! I might even be able to score a signed copy of Slap Noir for a contest for you too. Will keep you posted on that one.

See you in NYC!!! Till then hope y’all enjoyed your weekend, XOPG

Do you have an Invisible Disability?
.
This week is @invisibledisabilities Week taking place now through Oct 26th.
.
An invisible disability is simple - you can't see it! 👀
.
It includes chronic diseases and conditions that significantly impair normal daily activities. Like the disease I have, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
.
This week I want to help bring awareness to friends and colleagues who may not know that I, and millions others, have an invisible disease. Cause we look normal on the outside. 🤗
.
Scroll through these photos to see what a bad day looks like and how lucky I am to have good days. (And how drab my bedroom was before I transformed it in the @oneroomchallenge 💙)
.
Also, see last Oct with friends @highpointmarket. This Oct I'm in a serious relapse after fun summer travels w/David in Italy 🇮🇹
.
What you don't see is that because of ME/CFS I lie in bed every day. Not to sleep, but to rest for hours, or work from bed, or recover from an activity, or a months long relapse.
.
My blood pressure drops when I sit or stand and brings a host of symptoms that I cannot control. The ONLY way to alleviate my symptoms is to rest. No reading. No music. No talking, etc.
.
The most important things to learn this week are -
.
▶️ Never make assumptions about anyone's abilities.
.
▶️ People with disabilities (visible or not) should never have to live with barriers or judgement.
.
▶️ Show grace, kindness, and understanding. (I've been blessed my family + friends, like you, do!)
.
▶️ Never judge anyone who uses a Handicap Sticker cause you can't see their disability.
.
I know some who follow me here have invisible disabilities too and most of my colleagues do not know I live with ME/CFS.
.
If you see someone struggling with a word cause of brain fog that day, or they need other help, remember they might have an invisible disability too.
.
See Stories for more people with invisible disabilities. Give them a ♥️. Believe and support them!
.
As always, thank you for your love and support. XO♥️
