I've written for Literary Mama,The Imperfect Parent,Cool Cleveland,The Mad as Hell Club and the anthologies pictured below. I'm also a contributor to Hopeful Parents. In recent former lives, I worked in radio news and as a registered nurse. I blog about one Hot Toddy,two great kiddos,spirituality, autism and whatever else tickles me. Our daughter Riley is nine and has Asperger's,our son Seth is seven. Thanks for stopping! Make yourself at home.
I will never doubt my child's (or my)ability ever again. I had a student a few years back who was the MOST driven, best student of the pack. She won the role of Velma Kelly in CHICAGO...and one week later broke her leg.
She cried, it challenged her..but in the end, she did an elaborate ragtime charleston...on one leg.
She was amazing.
I asked her, on closing night, how she felt.
She said that the broken leg was her greatest gift, because it made her even better.
That guy is so good, I started thinking that the girl is the one with the issue, I mean having to move all that body around seemed to slow her down. (grin)

And it did.
I am utterly speechless. Goosebumps and tears. I wish all our kid's teachers, doctors...the world...would see the possibilities in every one of them.
Where...HOW...did you find this!?
gosh, thanks for posting that. I love it. It brought more than a few tears to my eyes.
Wow, that is absolutely amazing and wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you found it as inspiring as I did.
How did I find it?
It was delievered to my inbox by the fairies of the Universe, just for you!
It actually took me a minute to realise he only had one leg! How cool are they?
OMHOG! Thank you for saying, "Doubt your limits," as opposed to the maddening, "count your blessings."
Love you.

Love, love.
i swear to god, it was at least a minute before i even SAW that he had only one leg.
