As a writing exercise I decided to list out every bad thing that my disability brings to my life. I'm not angry or stressed and I don't need counseling............I just wanted to see how long the list would be. I wanted to see what it would feel like and look like.
I'm not going to share it. Because it's negative and that's just not me.
Before writing this, I decided I wasn't going to share it and I also was going to write facts not emotions. After some of the statements I found myself wanting to write a justification on how I fixed that problem area.
My statements are done and in conclusion:
One of the biggest life lessons to learn is we all have our baggage. What each of us choose to do with it is our own personal decision. I was given a personality and soul to teach and set an example for others to take the shitty hand we are dealt and turn it into something great.
My focus is on what it takes to have self confidence in today's society as a woman with a physical disability. I hope I can inspire and help individuals by sharing my experiences. I am an Occupational Therapist with a master's in Rehabilitation Counseling. I have worked as a school based OT for the past 15 years and hope to share my expertise with others. I feel that maintaining a balance and holistic approach towards life's challenges is the best way to be productive, happy and successful!
