The things that have changed about my life in the past 4 years and specifically within the past year. I am very grateful for where I am today.

I’m excited to:

3. I’m excited about my brother getting married and all the life changes that will bring
4. I’m excited about going back to rehearsals for the Christmas season at church

Hi I’m Marie  Nicole Zimmerle.  I’m a  follower of Jesus, a podcast Host a singer a dancer and an advocate.  I have Cerebral Palsy and I have been living a life of self acceptance for four years.  It’s great to meet you.

Allow me to share a dream with you.  A dance studio where I train is decorated with posters from a number of my favorite musicals , I’m officially dreaming about someday, somehow being the first Elphaba who is actually green AKA has cerebral palsy And I also think that Mary Delgado in Jersey boys needs to be represented by somebody in the disability community because we are the toughest chicks around.

On Tuesday August 20th I had the pleasure of seeing my dear friend John Lloyd Young at the Catalina jazz club. As usual he was amazing.  I would be lying if I said I didn’t blush like a teenager when I see him on stage. The part of the  show I love the most is the meet and greet after the show.  It’s always wonderful catching up with him  . He is sweet and kind and genuinely makes an effort to find out what is going on in the life of his fans whom he calls his friends.

Omg! One year ago today is when my life officially changed and became what it is today Read my story

I’m so excited about today! The advocate in me is back During the beautiful craziness that was Rollettes Experience on July 21st, I got a voicemail from the Regional center that I am a client of, telling me that my counselor had recommended me for an advocacy training program. The caller said that my counselor told her that I would be a good candidate for this experience because I already have an extensive background in self-advocacy but she thought I would benefit from a group environment. I’m excited to see how God uses this in my life!
