Virtual Self Advocacy Conference (New Update)

THIS MORNING---I participated in my first ever meeting to help plan out a virtual disability conference and cannot wait to see everything unfold. I am grateful for this new opportunity of being able to learn and present messages of hope as well as realizing what their full potential in life is--(but knowing who I am as a self advocate, leader, mentor and friend there is only a lot more to learn.) Stay tuned for more updates & stories to come!!! 

New Leadership Role?! (NINJA Planning Committee) 

This is definitely one of the newest opportunities that has somehow come into my lap and talking stuff out with a friend was extremely helpful for me. I am definitely grateful for the many people who are going to assist and help make things for this virtual conference one to remember!!! I know there are so many other things for me to keep learning along this journey and not knowing if I am even the person to take the lead on stuff is obviously in the works. It is not necessarily an absolute significant commitment whatsoever---- but if you ask me, I can only hope for the best in the many adventures that are gonna take place. I am truly grateful for an opportunity to keep developing my skills as a leader and someone who is willing to take on whatever task is in front of them!!! 

Anxiety Status (Final Part)

Back when this health epidemic started-- I had little to no idea about the outcome it was gonna leave me in and quite frankly I am getting tired of all the endless restrictions/boundaries!!! I'm ready for a chance to keep moving forward in hopes to one day wrap my arms around friends who I have genuinely missed spending quality time with so much. I know there is such a long road for me to walk down and until the moment comes when I can finally take a sigh of relief-- I am not sure how things are gonna look. I can't wait for that announcement to be made when this craziness is behind us and we can all look towards the future!!! I genuinely continued to let this unpredictable time in my life take over the fact that I know my own control with anything is just gonna keep being worse unless I pause to focus on me for a little bit if not more than usual. This past year was not necessarily anything that I had pictured it to become (which knowing the person that I am right now is where I need to be.) It is certainly not what I had imagined to see myself going through and feeling like no matter the challenges in front of me, I can easily turn all of it around to see everything in a different perspective.
