Hi Guys!

Believe it or not, I’ve been writing a ton! I am taking a poetry workshop class and being exposed to some very interesting topics and poets (to say the least) Its an awesome class, and I am learning so much about my own writing and how to read poetry.

It doesnt feel like it, but it has already been a whole week since the I AM PWD  campaign (see resources). I have been meaning to get on here, but I guess its better late than never! It was a great event though, I was glad to be a part of the action and see what they are all about. It was really cool to hear what everyone had to say and really see how passionate the speakers and supporters of the campaign are about integrating people with disabilities into the entertainment world. Although I could never really see myself as an actress or anything, it was still awesome to see how people like RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad) feel confident and proud to represent people with disabilities who aspire to break the norm and act/sing ect…What I took away from the whole experience is that disability truly is diversity! It is the hope of everyone at I AM PWD that this message will become louder and clearer as time progresses. Awesome!

I went for a nice jog today, it was such a beautiful morning at the beach, I felt so alive! This is a pic I took up above this post. It was one of those mornings where you just feel like you could run a marathon…runners high, perhaps? :p I haven’t been doing a ton of cardio lately but I felt great today…and that was empowering in itself! If you don’t normally see yourself going for walks or jogs, or even just get outside much take a moment for yourself. I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

Off to write some more…good thing I like to write haha

Take care.
