Here is what others have said about the
WOMAN Challenge!

"Hi, I suffer from Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and bronchial asthma, so gardening is my challenge. I started by choosing a small goal to meet or exceed. I worked on it during the cold days [50's and 60's] and finished some pretty ambitious projects. I started by just deciding that I could work one hour, stopping for water and deciding whether or not to keep going. I would set a goal of one flower bed or one last row. I never just quit. Believe me, that was the hard part! Now, though my goal is still low, I keep moving."
