Happy New Year!!

For me, it's almost 2016. For you, the new year may have already begun. Here is some great advice for the coming year.

The above is so very true. I greatly apologize for sliding off the rails during the last quarter of 2015. I hope to be more consistent with my writing in the coming year. Here are the blog posts that are in the works for 2016: 

~Transplant and the Media-Part 2 (yes, FINALLY!) 

~Celebrity affected by transplant 

~Transplant recipient at work (what it's like to be immunosuppressed yet still out in the workplace) 

~Weekly Feature (I'd like for this to be weekly or monthly......please message me if you would like your story to be told) 

~20 Years: A Reflection (my 20th transplant anniversary will be in June of 2016....I'd like to write a post reflecting on what I've experienced and learned over these past two decades)

~2016 Transplant Games of America (you know I have to talk about this!)

~New idea: GUEST BLOGGERS!! Thiughts? If you would like to be a guest blogger, please let me know!!!

As I wrap this up, here is one more piece of advice: 

UPDATE

Hi All!
Just a quick note to let you know that I haven't fallen off of the face of the earth. I've just been really tired lately due to work (last month's busy-ness is finally catching up with me!).  I have about 3 blog posts drafted, Part 3 regarding the Transplant Games is being written (I'm in "stuck" mode right now) and I have another blog post being formed in my mind as we speak.

Also, I have great things in store.  Remember earlier in the year when I said I'd like to feature either a recipient, donor family, living donor, or someone on the waiting list?  I still mean it!  So please leave me suggestions in the comment box as to who you think I should feature first.  Yourself?  Someone you know?  Let me know who and why you think they should get the spotlight!  

Since April is "National Donate Life Month" I thought it'd be cool to do a daily "Did You Know?"   Every day I could post a little bit of transplant trivia and post it here (and the link on my Facebook) to educate people about transplants and the different organs. 

One last thing: I just thought of another idea.  Maybe I could also feature specific transplant centers.  How long they've been doing transplants?  What their specialties are? Etc.  What do you think?  Is this a good idea or should I nix it?

I LOVE comments and suggestions so keep 'em coming!  ~  Kim, Transplant This! creator   :-)
