Welcome to this week's edition of 'Behind the Blue Scenes', where we share with all of you, some of what goes on as The BHS grows.

Congrats to our Facebook Fan Of The Week Diane Wrona Irvin! Thanks for being a Bluetiful part of the BHS!

We are tickled BLUE to see the most popular item on our Facebook Page  for the week was our newly introduced BHS Fan Marquee. Since YOU are the reason we do what we do, it makes us quite happy to be able to showcase how & why you interact with us, and give everyone a chance to be showcased. It is also a great way for us to see what you do (and don’t) like about what you see.

Another one of the top item’s were exercise related, as our friends at ‘Discuss Diabetes’ ask’s What’s your favorite way to exercise indoors? & the folks at Diabetes Care reported that Weight Loss Can be Contagious according to a Study.

If you can’t excersize indoors and need to do so outdoors, there is a service that was very popular that we shared called Type 1 Sitters that say’s “ Having Type 1 Diabetes is hard, but finding a babysitter in your area to take care of your Type 1 child is even harder”.

Another popular item as we shared was that Sanofi US launched the ‘2012 Data Design Diabetes Innovation Challenge’  where they seek to help “Improve the outcomes and/or experience of caregivers, family/friends, healthcare providers and/or people living with diabetes in the US.”

You also showed great interest in our Sister Organization Type1Rider.org, where our CEO/Co-Founder Tony Cervati is featured in a Pre-Trailer for 'Type1Rider the Film'  If you haven’t checked this out yet it is a MUST SEE!

This coming week we will unveil the first Component of our ‘Shoebox’, the Application to become a BHS ‘Chapter Luminary’, so we can start mobilizing all of our wonderful peeps that have indicated they are ready. This is also the first & most important step for the BHS to start internally planning where & when our “Shoeins” will occur.

Finally & the most exciting thing to keep your eyes open for is the very first Guest Blog post by our dear friend Lizmari M. Collazo. Lets just say that Lizmari will bring you back in time in joy, as she also shares that she is also a “Blue Heeled Wearing Diva”. It is also one of THE most POWERFUL things you will ever have the pleasure of experiencing. The post will be published early tomorrow morning, so stay tuned.

Get ready for an EXCITING Week coming up & keep on being as BLUETIFUL as can be!
