What Exactly IS a Disabled Dynamic Woman?

DOES LIFE HAVE TO BECOME DULL WHEN A TRAGEDY STRIKES A VIBRANT WOMAN?

Of course not!! It can certainly feel hopeless during the early days of adjusting to a life-altering disability but the strong, dynamic and determined woman doesn't have to succumb. I am 6 years into my journey of rebounding from a disability that paralyzed my vocal cords and half of my diaphragm. I've started this blog to document growth experiences, ideas, thoughts, and the occasional stumbles. Perhaps this space will be inspirational to other determined ladies out there. I hope we can share and celebrate the process of moving through our re-inventions!

WHAT KINDS OF POSTS CAN WE EXPECT?

Just about anything! I have some sort of hobby attention deficit that causes me to be fickle and skip through loads of different crafts, cooking, baking, fitness, wellness, nutrition, and outdoor activities. I might post about baking one day and metal smithing the next day. I dive in and take away whatever my active mind finds most satisfying; then I jump into something else! Join me! Share with me!

WHAT IS MY MOTTO?

Turn your disability into determination!!!! 
You are allowed to have a pity party for a while but eventually we have to reclaim life satisfaction. Too many of us sink into depression and can't get out of it. That is a choice. You have to realize that before you can choose to change that energy into a positive one. Depression is both a choice and a type of energy. Use that nugget of enlightenment to change the energy you wrap yourself in. We will explore that in much more detail and share our "ah ha" moments.
