We DO have a lot in common - which we can talk about at BAM! I am excited to see you in person, and I hope we have enough time to chat all we want!!!

Thanks for leaving your lovely comment.

Tell me more!" And mean it. I'd be very curious and a bit fascinated. Good for you. We have a lot in common. I do use the world "disability," as imperfect as it it. I capitalize the "A": disAbility. My daughter has autism and I've been an advocate for her and others for 18 years. I also write about health issues, sometimes for pay, sometimes not, but I've been writing professionally for about 35 + years.

I also love your philosophy. Oh, I could not agree more about life's wake-up calls, our connections of mind-body, and the opportunities they gift us. Yes, yes. Been there done that, too.

I hope I get to meet you at BAM!!!

As writers, I find we have to have a sense of humor when describing what we do for a living, and a bit of a thick skin! I am new to your blog and enjoying your writing. I have a friend with MS and will share your blog with her as I know she'll find it inspirational. Your work is important, never forget that!

Don't let it get to you. Titles aren't nearly as important as character.
I have Cerebral Palsy and write a disabled fashion and lifestyle blog. My goal is to show the world that people with disabilities are people first and foremost, and we deserved to be accepted and integrated into society. Most people don't really "get" what I'm doing is tied to that. They just think I look fierce as I take Nashville by storm. They don't realize I'm paving the way for others with disabilities to do the same. There's no job title for that.
We all matter 😉

I've had many health issues and I'm sure if I blog about them it might help someone else out there who suffered from the same issue. You gave me something to think about for sure. I'm sure there are loads of folks you have helped in so many ways...bottom line...that's what mattters.

And you are so right about following your bliss. I was late to the game, but I'm getting the hang of it!
