Harriette and Ronda

A Passionate Mother-Daughter Duo

I Harriette, was writing a bi-weekly newsletter for women 50 and over. I changed directions because I have been diabetic for more than 15 years. Furthermore, I am well and under control. My daughter, mother, sister, uncles, cousins, and friends have diabetes. Most are not well managed. 

They are not informed or supported about the disease. I needed to shift my focus to help educate, inspire change, motivate action, and hold ourselves accountable for our diabetes. With the correct information, we can live a long and healthy life. I want to offer you this information.

There are millions of Americans diagnosed with diabetes, I want to support as many as I can.

Harriette and Ronda Bliey are mothers and daughters who have a lot in common. They enjoy writing, traveling, and living in the Northwest, and, yes, they are both Type 2 Diabetics.

Harriette spent years working as a respiratory therapist. She is a widow, a mother of three daughters, one deceased, and a grandmother. She is passionate about sharing life’s lessons, learned from diverse experiences.  She also enjoys gardening, drawing, swimming, and quantum physics.

Ronda works for the local county government facilitating public access and advocating for people with disabilities. She loves to share good food and wine with friends, read a good historical mystery, and search for the perfect beach.

A life with type 2 diabetes can be a life well lived. In producing this newsletter, Harriette and Ronda hope to share their lived experiences and research to inform, encourage, and motivate others to take control of their health. 

Join us in this endeavor and let’s reap the many benefits of support, education, inspiration, and resilience together.

You won’t have to worry about missing a thing. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
