Willie or Will He?

I began this blog with a specific point.
A reason.
I strongly believe in he power of the written and spoken word.
And I try to be very honest, clear and decisive in my communication on television or in print.
I know that brings about truth, sometimes those truths are hard to face.
But speaking the truth will make a person deal with the reality of your own world.
So, let me get to the point.
This blog is called WillieTransform.
My name is Lee Willie Thomas Jr.
I am the 4th son and six child of Lee Willie Thomas Sr. and Ethel Britt Thomas.
The title of my blog is a question and a statement at the same time.
It really depends on your perspective.
I believe the title is a statement of truth.
And I want people to witness my change.
As I face this disease and win.
"Willie transforms right before you very eyes."
And you can walk with me as I change. I have done years of research about living healthy and I believe that trying all of these different things and theories I have come up with the help of my doctor will give me the conclusion that I want for my life.
Willie transform is a statement and a command to myself.
But there is no truth without doubt and after I chose my title I quickly realized that "willie transform" could also be a question.
Will he transform?
A question leaves room for failure.
I don't like giving light to ideas that are contrary to my hopes and dreams. And I won't give this much time. But the possibilities are real and that is my challenge to overcome.
It's the internal struggle we all face... trying and failing, but never giving up.
Staying in a positive place is one of the most important thing about change.
When no one else believes it is up to me to fight.
I must fight for my dreams.
It's the way I have always lived and succeeded in life.
On my blog... I promise that I will always be honest and truthful, no matter how difficult this become.
I also believe that there is strength in numbers.
We can all help each other stay on the road to success.
If you face a challenge in life, know that I am fighting for myself and my family.
Happiness is contagious, but so is anger and discontent.
This will be a happy place. A blog to refuel and find strength to continue.
It can be yours as well.
I will remain Lee Willie.
Will he transform?
With support... our answer will always be a resounding "YES".
