One of my newest readers

Hello everyone~

With Christmas on the way, I have kind of lost my focus in doing this blog. Hence, being three weeks behind is the result. But as I have stated before in previous posts, those weeks were not lost. I was able to get a lot of writing done as well as have a friend visit me. I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about you and am grateful for all of my readers.

In today's post, I would like to feature one of my newest readers. She seems to be a lot like me in terms of wanting to keep the public out today on on the latest news regarding disability. Her readership seems to be growing fast. I hope you take the time to visit her website at:

Another Website regarding the Things to Think about When Choosing a College

Hey Guys,

As my readers may have noticed, I like to reminisce a lot about my experiences in college. These experienced help shaped into the person I am today. That's why I believe it's so important for people with disabilities have the same type of experience. That being said, here's another article featuring things to think about when choosing a college.

Encouragement:: The Little Girl Who Dared to Wish article

Welcome Back,

Okay, so I know it's been a while since I last posted. Since Thanksgiving, I have decided to focus my efforts on finishing my book. It's gone pretty well considering the circumstances. I am now almost halfway through writing Chapter 7. Pretty good, considering I had a friend visiting from Michigan. It was fun, but now it's time to get back to business. I know I promised I would finish the book review of I A Potential, but that is going to have to wait until I am finally caught up on my posts or finish chapter 10-whichever comes first! But I have a lot to do first-three weeks of writing..

In the meantime, I came across an article that I thought my readers might enjoy.

New blog guidelines.

Dear readers,

I know it's been a while since I've posted a blog entry. Things have been very busy around here lately. Since Thanksgiving, I have been busy working on my book as well as enjoying a month visit from a friend. It's certainly been interesting; I've also made great strides in terms of my book. Recently, I just finished chapter 7, almost reaching the halfway point. It's exciting to think that by the end of this month a real Christian editor will have looked at the first five chapters of my book.

That being said, I have been kind of focused on that one aspect of my life right now. In the process, I have lost track of this blog. So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw some spam or otherwise inappropriate comments on my blog. As a result, I have employed comment moderation for my posts from now on. This should on a lot of it. I apologize to those who find it difficult to use word verification because of their disability.

Thanks,

Debbie

Dance Helps Man to Walk Again

Welcome Back~

I thought I would pass this article on to my fellow readers before Thanksgiving. I know in reality this post in a week late, but I'm just now catching up on things. It has been a busy one on my end; last weekend I stood up in one of my best friend's wedding. It's hard to believe she's a married woman now. Upon our return, we stopped through Pittsburgh to visit some college friends of mine.

Anyway, here's the article. It tells a remarkable of how dance helps a disabled man to walk again

Topics of debate

Dear Readers,

I came across this article while researching for different topics of interest to discuss on this blog, the subject is kind of misleading when you think about it. But if you read further down, the following posts make some startling revelations of topics of debate. One of which being pre-determining genetics of the unborn to eliminate the possibility of a disability. Personally, I don't believe it's right to do so. Doing so plays God, not only eliminating an opportunity to trust him, but puts our own fate in human hands.

Encouragement: Disability on Glee (NBC)

Hey Guys,

Over the last couple of weeks, I have become a fan of Glee on NBC. Not only because they have a great variety of music on the show, but because they show the universal meaning of acceptance. This acceptance is not based on values of cliques often found in high school, but formed because of one common interest-their love of music. It takes teens from all walks of life, races and brings them together. Some people, though, question the show's premise; they say it waters down the true "impact" a disability has by making fun of it.

I've watched this show and I still don't know what to say. I'm on the fence. But what do you think?
