Helping you become the person God wants you to be
What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.
I don’t get asked this anymore, but when I was in college, I used to be asked ridiculous questions like What’s wrong with you?; and other personal things about my disability without even asking my name first or introducing themselves to me.
What is your favorite form of physical exercise?
When this prompt originally popped up I was not exercising, but I have gotten back to using my hand cycle for 5 minutes a day.
What are three objects you couldn’t live without?
I can’t live without
1. My phone
2.Music
3. Coffee from home or a green Tea from Starbucks
Do you believe in fate/destiny?
I believe that God orders our steps and that following him is like a game plan and not a blueprint. There are significant that he tells us to do or not to do, but he also gives us room to make our own choices
Yay, we are one day away from my favorite month of the year (besides April because that is my birthday month). March is known as Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. Still, it should be called Cerebral Palsy Celebration Month because the word awareness sounds like everyone with CP is in a sad situation and needs a cure to become normal.
These were the thoughts that I once had, and the cure for this way of thinking is community. Choosing to be part of the disability community instead of being an outsider is the best thing I’ve ever done.
Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
I have two pairs of New Balance 813 shoes. They are the most supportive walking shoes I’ve owned. I wear my white ones when I wear light colors and my black shoes when I wear dark colors.
What are some small things that make your day better?
1. I need to listen to music every day
2.Coffee always makes my day better.
What is your favorite road trip snack?
I love gummy bears or peach rings.
