Well... maybe this blog will wait...

When I started this blog, I was very excited and really looking forward to doing it. I still am. But in the time since I started it, I've encountered a high blood pressure issue that's causing concern and have had to begin daily testing of my blood pressure. I'm finding that as I participate in discussions on the topics like I hope to cover in this blog, and in researching specific cases to cover, my BP is soaring. It's dangerous to let my BP stay high so I've been debating about how to handle this and frankly, it's far too obvious that I can't take chances with my health. If I didn't have two little girls to think about, I might be willing to risk it.

I think there is a shortage of proactive voices working for human rights and hate to lessen mine in any way but tonight I've been having a conversation about this with a friend on Skype as well as in two of the forums I frequent. I guess I was just very excited about this new blog and getting more involved rather than avoiding the topics and now I feel like it's been taken away. But in the end, I'll suspend it for now to avoid damaging my health further as I have to think of my girls as well.If my blood pressure issues drop, I assure you I'll be back to work on it....
