It is now 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon California time, and I have been on the go all morning. I have been writing to people all day long and networking. What a wonderful feeling to take action and, to make things in your life come to pass! What’s even sweeter is when you connect with others who have the same interest as you and bond and work together in unison’s. There is nothing warmer than that!
Well, I have a dozen or more things left on my agenda today, so I will sign off for now.
Take care…

Dear Blog,
I know I have not been doing much entering lately. I have been taking care of life’s most important issues right now. These issues are foremost, and stand before me at this point and time. I not only have been working on updating and making Whispers of Hope better than what it is already, but I am bringing another new web and blog design to this site! I have been doing whats before me and taking care of the most important things before me. I have also been holding down the fort, too:>))) I have been caring for my husband who broke his leg 3 weeks ago now!
Thus, I am doing triple duty! Not to mention the fact of taking care of me, my health, my animals, my home, and everything else that goes with daily living. I have been juggling a lot and doing very well. My days are long and quite full, but I look towards it all positively and being grateful for everything that is happening. This fills my heart up and give me a good feeling inside. Life is not always a rose garden, but I keep pulling the weeds to make it beautiful:>)
I will write more when I can. And I will enter this code too, for all you bloggers out there:>)<a href="http://technorati.com/claim/h4webbim3" rel="me">Technorati Profile</a>

I have not entered anything into my blog in a few days because my husband feel down, off a block fence, and broke his ankle. Yes! So I thought I would come on for a second and extend my gratitude to all of you, who have written a response to my writing and were so kind, warm and giving.
It feels very nice! I wrap your love, your care, and your understanding heart around me like a beautiful warm quilt that keeps me protected and safe! It also gives me more reason to keep on keeping on and to keep writing about the hope within myself never to give up on my passion:>))))))))))))))
To all of you, I say thank you:>)
I will write more when I am able. I am lifted on high by your comments and support so keep them coming:>)

For the last week and a half, I have been caring for my husband who has broken his foot in three different places. Even though he will be in a cast for the next five weeks, I am grateful I have been able to be an example for him. It warms my heart to see him walking with his crutches, caring items in his mouth, as a third hand, and willing to do for himself! Willing to go beyond, and, willing to regain his strength and have the fighting spirit which we all must have to keep on going:>)))))))))))

This morning I received the nicest complement a person could get! It was from a new friend I just met on line. A very sweet soul who came into my life with angel wings! She not only is giving me her support, but has put one of my writings up on her blog. How sweet is that- and oh how I appreciate her love, devotion, and kindness!
The truth is, that ever since I can remember, I have been passionate about getting "my life," Together, whatever that is:>)))) lol, and giving more that 150 percent to it, in everything I do. I don’t know any other way. Weather its dealing with a physical therapy issue, a learning issue, an inclusion issue, an employment issue, what ever the issue was, I have always, always walked the line! No matter what I have had to deal with, I have always spoken the truth, and given everyone my all weather they could except it or not. I payed the consequences too!
More times than not, the people I confronted, could not handle the truth. Yet I was canned in the way they decided. Most people could not, and did not know how to cope with the issue or situation at hand or with me personally! They liked to tastefully turn the tables, put me on the defensive, and make me out to be the bad guy! And I, I only want to see good for the world, I only want peace and harmony for others, and I only want to share with the world- if I could do it, so could you! I don’t want favors, and charity! I don’t want to be treated any differently just because I have a physical disability or a learning disability. I may need some help. And I will ask, if I do! As there is absolutely nothing wrong in asking for those accommodations and in turn, receiving them, fulfilled. And giving it your all! There is nothing wrong in having the same desires as others! We are all human! Aren’t we? Why then should we be looked at any differently?
I do not think society ever dealt with a human being just like me before! A free spirit, a rebel with a cause, a person who has hope, dreams and desires, and whats to help others not have to go through what I had to go through! And to see those dreams accomplished. I am a person who is willing to go the extra mile, who is willing to take on the system, to not only see equality for herself, but equity for others! I want to see and bare witness to fairness. I want to bare witness to justice being made for my kind. It doesn’t matter to me what your disability is- lets learn to help each other and work in unison. "One for all,… and… all for one" This way all of us can have an opportunity and chance to have our wants, need, and dreams met.
We are not animals to be lock in cages. We are not extra ammunition or surplus to be shot rounds at. And, we are not criminals! We are human beings desiring the same things in life that"NORMAL" people have a chance at daily. So why can’t we! We do not deserve this kind of treatment. We are people who want to succeed in our lives- We want to see our hard deserved action recognized- We want our words to be taken seriously, and we to want to be praised and validated- we want other to recognize our achievement without being locked out of the mainstream of life! We want our lives to have meaning too!
We don’t want to just sit at home day in or day out, and stare at the four walls because we were blocked, conveniently, from earning a living, or getting a degree that we could have gotten if those professionals who call themselves professionals did not stand in our way, or label us, or made a unsound ruling and judgment just because we are shrouded with an imperfect body, or mind… this does not give anybody the right to look down upon us, or judge us.

To often in my life, I have not been taken seriously. I have been looked down upon, and conveniently tossed aside because I was passionate about what I felt, and believed in, and how I wanted to expand my life. Down deep within me, I wanted to be accepted in this world and participate in life just like everyone else- I wanted my thoughts and feeling to matter, and I wanted to be considered just like everyone else.
But I was belittled, made fun of, and ostracized, I have walked the line, gone the distance, and climbed hurtles that most might think are the unthinkable! I have stayed as positive and as strong as I could to survive and thrive amongst the rest! Some how, some way I had to and still have to make a difference in my life, to be the best person I can be, and give back to life and all man kind what I have learned…
If I have to fight the rest of my life to succeed, I will- because there is no stopping, me!

After Living a life with a physical disability of Cerebral Palsy, and a learning disability, dyslexia I realize many things. First I realize how I have gone the extra mile in everything I have done and accomplished in my life. Secondly, I’ve learned about being labeled, fighting the system, and coming out a winner with more self-worth, self confidence, and dignity to keep on keeping on-
I have had people show me their BIOS and prejudice attitudes, and I have reasoned and maneuvered around, about, and above all the insensitivity’s of human nature. I did not let people, places or things put there mark or classification on me! I left them with a mark! I left them with the teaching and knowledge: that I am like everyone else in this world. I may have C.P. and a slight inconvenience, but I am just like you! I have also instructed and imparted, by my deeds and words to be treated with dignity and respect. I have taught and educated by the path that I have taken. I have not only been assertive, but through my own tolerance, love, sincerity, kindness, and determination to light up and wake up this world. Through my actions, I have climbed the highest mountain. And I will continue to climb! I will not sit back and lethargically let people step over me any time they wish. I will teach by being me, compassion for all!

Today was another power punching day of more realization and lesson learning. I wanted to write to make time to release and let go of all the things that took place in my day. I ponder my soul in wonderment of why people cannot understand what "we" who have learning disabilities or physical disabilities go through to try and fit in to life and society.
We work 10 times harder to fit in, in order to make some kind of normalcy of our life. We do this for ourselves, just to be included in the community of our world just to be and feel like "normal" people who fit in! If man-kind only knew! If they only new the effort we put forth! If only they knew inwardly what we go through daily- If they could feel what we feel what we feel every day of our lives-
If they had to cope and deal with the challenges we have before us, with our disabilities, and tried to put forth the effort we do, on a daily basis, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, I don’t think they could handle it! I don’t think they could or would be able to keep up the brave front. I don’t think they could constantly keep smiling. I don’t think they could handle the inner emotions we go through- I really personally don’t think they could last very long!
What do you think? I pose this question to all of you reading this entry.
