The challenges of writing

I amazed at the ease with which so many bloggers can write and write and write. For me getting even a few words on the page is an incredible challenge. This extends to all other type of writing I need to do as well.

There are times when I just don't know how to say what needs to be said. There are also times when I don't know if what I have to say is worth saying.

I sit looking at the blank computer screen and say... well, just start writing, there will always be time to edit what is there (hopefully).

I can do this... I just have to do it.

A new year and we try again

2006 a year with great promise and with great challenges.

After more than a year and a half as the ED of ASAA, I have a good sense of what needs to be done to raise the visibility of sleep apnea to match the level of those affected by the condition.

Beginning this month, Public Service Announcement on the Health and Home Report.

Media exposure during the Super Bowl in Detroit in February.

Sleep Apnea Awareness Day 2006... Thursday March 30 in Washington DC and other cities around the country.

Accomplishments in 2005...

www.apneasupport.org

A year of newsletters :)

Improved web site www.sleepapnea.org

new members and more importantly renewing members.

The challenges ahead are not small, but I have faith in my ability to lead the association and to be the "go to" organization for those looking for information and support on sleep apnea.
