me

Here's a little bit of my story and why I love doing this! Giving love with Cerebral palsy. At six months old I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. The doctor informed my parents about a special “home” that could take care of me. I probably would never recognize anybody, talk or even hold my head. My parents already had two teenage brothers and wanted to talk about what to do as a family. So my family did not follow his advice. They worked with me, fussed over my simple achievements, and encouraged me never to give up. My brothers showed me off with pride. Yes I need help with everything I do but I'm still happy. Yes it is not easy to have the kind of CP I have, my body is always moving: I have a hard time talking. But I love helping others who feel different, and I didn't get to do what I really wanted to do in life, because of my cp.. So I started writing and blogging, then I thought about how much Facebook is used by everyone. I thought it would be a great way for me to do what I love. Hopefully I can make a difference for someone.

Disability proud month

Here's my thoughts on disability proud month. I am disabled I need help with everything but personally this new disability proud month doesn't sit right with me. Look around you, everyone has a disability but we don't see each of them having proud months. Yes, people in wheelchairs and other special needs:need to show others that we are the same as everyone else but we have to do that every day. I'm proud to be different. I don't need to show it off.. Because everyone is different!

my time in Colorado

I was born in south Africa, but I moved to the US Colorado. In many ways it was amazing in others it was hard being as different as I am. But I wouldn't change anything I went through, it has helped me become the person I am. I have many people who didn't think I couldn't study or do anything, but there who were didn't see my difference before getting to know me. I know I am disabled but I don't want to be like I'm disabled I can't do anything! I have done a lot for what kind of CP and many amazing family and friends have helped me see that being different is no biggie. I was Ms. Wheelchair Colorado 2010, I have hiked a 14er… Don't let your disability stop you!

yes we are disabled we are different

Having a disability is not fun at times. But it's your attitude to what whatever you have that will make your life easier, you might need help with all your needs, but you can still make a great life for yourself, make a difference. Just because we can't walk doesn't mean your life cannot be amazing!
