I am attempting the Wego Health Activist Writers’ Month Challenge. A post each day in April. So, now that I told you I am going to do it, I oughta follow through, right? Today’s prompt is:If you wrote a book about your life, your community, your condition, or your Health Activism – what would you title it?

I’ve thought about this one a lot. But mostly because I want to share delicious baked goods with the world. Baked goods that just happen to be gluten-free. Like many musicians, some days I feel that a self titled debut would be perfect. But then I am always led to the never quite answered question:

What is a FrannyCake?

I think a question as a title is perfect (hint hint to all of you literary agents that peruse this little blog). It sets up a story. A journey through what I know best: gluten-free baked goods.

I could bring my cupcake therapy to the masses! I could teach others that they don’t have to eat cake made from box mixes that taste like chemicals (please say no to Betty Crocker – there is no excuse for chemical flavored cakes, these days there are several gluten-free mixes that even I think are great).

I can show how I have never suffered when it comes to food. I can show you the hope and happiness that can fill a gluten-free kitchen.

The Chronic Positivity Project

This is actually the title of my upcoming web project (submit quotes and ideas here), but it is the framework that I build my life around. I had an unexpected realization about not being able to ride a bike again. Not that I did that often before, but the thought of never being able to do it again is a bitter pill to swallow. I embraced the sadness for a moment. I let myself mourn the loss. And then I looked for my silver lining.

I have to frame my life this way. If I didn’t, there would be days lost to wallowing. Days lost to crying over the never-agains and the never-will-bes.

As a book, it would be all about the strategies to make these things happen, as a web project it will be all about sharing inspiration for a positive life with everyone who needs it.

I am attempting the Wego Health Activist Writers’ Month Challenge. A post each day in April. So, now that I told you I am going to do it, I oughta follow through, right? Today’s prompt is to write an acrostic.

Blogger say, what?! I haven’t told you enough about my Crazy Ridiculous Painful Soul-Crusher enough already? I think I have.

See what I did there? It was clever, right?

Good, now that we have that business set aside, I want you to know that I appreciate all the support from my regular readers as I share some bits about my health in the hopes of showing others that a normal(ish) life is possible despite so many odds.

Now, I need a favor. I am working on a new project. One that involves my clever little quote images that I have been sprinkling throughout these posts. I started making them as a challenge to myself last summer, and I wanted to make a proper project out of them. So, I have purchased a domain and will start posting new images shortly (as soon as I have worked out how often I will make them).

I would love it if you would submit your favorite quotes. They should be inspiring(ish), hopeful, maybe even funny, but above all, they should be positive (and not overly religious – this is not a project about faith or religion).
