Summer Events (Part One)

- Family Vacation to Mexico for an entire week and just being in paradise, I am most certain will be an amazing experience for all of us!!! I cannot wait to spend more time with my little niece Skye and seeing her enjoying what I hope will be a successful outcome for everyone. I have never been to this country before in my life and can only hope for the awesome memories, that I know we will make throughout that vacation together as a family. 

- Continuing to do more presentations about Supported Decision Making to professionals, advocates like myself and others who want to learn more about this concept aside from Guardianship being one of the options to give an individual that somebody doesn't necessarily think, they can make their own life choices. I am grateful to be a part of this amazing Advocates As Leaders Speakers Network with some of the best people ever and their examples to me of what it means to be a true advocate, is just simply incredible in more ways than one. There is truly nothing better in this world than getting the opportunity to educate people on things that are important to me and many others in this world. It is gonna be a legitimate summer and I cannot wait to share my message of hope with them across this state. 

- Self Advocates Becoming Empowered Conference

Two Weeks Away from being at this incredible disability conference in the city of Birmingham, Alabama and cannot wait to be a part of something much bigger than myself. I know that having opportunities as a leader/self advocate are only going to continue to open up, experiences for me where I can learn new things about improving on my self advocacy skills. I am grateful to have a chance of learning from remarkable individuals who wouldn't otherwise have their voices heard-- regardless in whatever their situation is. 

- Special Friend Together

More about this later on at some point down the road... but one of my closest friends is returning back from their mission and I cannot wait to reunite with them again!! There is only so much I would love to share with you all of right now, but it will most likely need to wait for a couple more weeks. I have so many stories and experiences that I know are gonna be remember for the rest of eternity, if it does make any sense to you at all?? We are going to be thrilled to have our best friend home for good and I promise you there will be a lot of laughs to share with four of the craziest girls I know in this world!!!
