Hi! And welcome to my site!

Many updates are on the way, so check back often to see what's going on in my world.

Have a happy and healthy day! Lorraine :) :)

June 2007

Wow! Half the year almost over. Where does the time go? I hope everyone is happy and healthy going into the second half of 2007.

I did have the surgery on my shoulder last October. After all my fear, I am so glad I made the decision to agree to the surgery. There was so much more wrong in there that was never going to heal on it's own. My shoulder is more stable and stronger than ever. The best part is there is no more pain.

I am still contemplating competing this year but it's looking like it may work out better for me to plan for an early return to the competition stage in 2008.

Remember to check out the other pictures I have posted in the Personal Photos Gallery section.

by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face.
You must do that which you think you cannot do.'
