As I have said before, I am Ms. Wheelchair Colorado 2010. I thought it would over in one year, I only one year to be Ms. Wheelchair Colorado 2010; I could not believe that the honor would last a lifetime! I am now running the Ms. Wheelchair Colorado Coordinator and it is the best! I love going to nationals every year and see some old friends. Also I came back inspired! I love this organization so much, everyone in Ms. Wheelchair America is in a wheelchair or they understand what it’s like to have a disability. This year the national pageant was last weekend, it was where my friend from Ms. Wheelchair Iowa 2010, so I got to stay with her and family which was great. The Ms. Wheelchair American pageant was amazing.

If we approach the hardships in our life with a great attitude and vulnerability to allow others around us inside our lives to help us in our times of need. Having friends to support you can help the way we handle ourselves through these challenges and can make a difference during those times. We all need help when times get hard. It's not what I went to school for, but I love helping others and inspiring people through my words. Thank you for supporting me. ♥
Heading out of town
This week Ms. Wheelchair American is going on in Iowa. I will never forget when I was Ms. Wheelchair Colorado 2010. I had such an amazing week. I still can’t believe that I had that experience and now I get to go back to watch this year’s Ms. Wheelchair Colorado have the same experience. I will not be writing for 4days.
Every positive thought is a silent prayer which will change your life. Prayers are at the very least meditations. A positive thought is a silent prayer; a negative thought — a silent curse. A single thought can flood your body with emotional stress, or calming relief. Your thoughts have tremendous power over your feelings and perceptions. When we feel powerless in a hostile world we can at least practice quelling the enmity in our minds. Think deliberately. Think carefully. Think purposefully. Think positively. Pray for your own deliverance from your own vicious thoughts. Ask for forgiveness — forgive yourself for the terrible things you have thought about yourself. Ask for the strength to never curse yourself or others again. Your positive thoughts are both the prayer, and the answer to your prayer. Each positive thought is your refuge and your sanctuary, where in that thoughtful moment, you are safe. Begin now with loving thoughts and allow these quiet prayers to transform your life.

In your life, you may at times feel you have worked so hard, and you have done every single thing you could in your power to earn your way and be a good person. You have given and given and given — trying never to keep a score or be a burden to others. You tried so hard to be selfless and tried to believe that goodpeople are rewarded in the end. You turned your doubts into faith and your anger into love after endless failures and betrayals. You pressed forward with positivity. But, maybe things have not turned out the way you had hoped yet, and you have found yourself in a low place. You looked around and said, “I have helped people, who will help me? I have been so good.” In these moments, it is tempting to ask, “where is my break; what about karma or God — does anyone care? Is everything in life for nothing? Is any of it worth it?” It is so easy to want to give up in times of failure and disappointment in what seems like an endless struggle. We can become depressed and dis-couraged, which means we have lost our courage.
In painful moments of dire discouragement, please know that your soul has a resiliency and a capacity to endure suffering that is beyond anything you can imagine. Even the softest and sweetest heart was made by design for extreme battle. Make no mistake about it, no matter how kind, meek, humble and soft your giving heart is — you are a warrior! Your strength is beyond your own imagination. The further you are challenged and threatened, the more your warrior heart will emerge. When you are backed into a corner, or someone you love is suffering, or you are hanging by your fingernails over the edge of ruin with the cold, hungry abyss peering into your soul — the super-human occurs. Billions of years of dormant survival intelligence will erupt from every pore. You don’t have to be strong, because the strength is in you; it’s in your DNA, in your soul and your essence. You would not believe what skill, power and ability your total intelligence possesses until you are in desperate need. So, do not despair. Have faith. It is going to work out, and you will be delivered. You have the heart of a warrior, and you were designed to survive!
disabilities
I can’t walk but it doesn’t mean I can’t think or that I have a learning disability. I am physically disabled! Sometimes when I am out with family, friends and or on my own, I will sometimes get a person who will act as if I can’t think or they will talk to me in ”baby talk”, if I am with someone they will talk to them about me! I understand that some people are not comfortable with people who have a disability, but why? When we all have some kind of difference we all have some kind of disability which is what makes us unique. So why is it so weird that I can’t walk and I talk funny, there is nothing wrong with my mind! If you have questions about my disability you can ask me not the person I’m with. I have CP, so what! There is so much more about me than just my disability!
Until we understand what is within,
we can’t understand what is without.

If your mind is happy then you are happy anywhere
you go. When wisdom awakens within you, you will
see Truth wherever you look. Truth is all there is.
It’s like when you learned how to read, you can
then read anywhere you go.

“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.” ~Lao Tzu
Life is amazing! Something so little as being a light of someone can be so rewarding. I love knowing that I can make a differences in somebody’s life! This is why I do this blog, my is favorite gift loving on PEOPLE . Life without love is nothing.
Each day, focus your attention on what you want. Each day, take one step that will bring you closer to it. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! The key is to identify it, claim it for yourself, and believe that you are worthy to have it.

Each day is a gift waiting to be explored. The possibilities of today are simply endless. -Kathy Loun Stille

“If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”Joseph Campbell
When You Love What You Have You Have Everything You Need

When you love what you have you have everything you need.
If you are ever going to be great you have to believe in the fact that where you are presently is already a blessing. Many people don’t have much and desire to have more, but the greatest people around all know that growing and moving forward requires the use of the resources that they have in the present to get there.
Learning to be grateful is the beginning of the journey to success. Life will always get difficult, and there will always be bumps along the road. But when you choose to walk in the darkest times with an attitude of gratitude, you are also choosing to proceed in your journey at the same time.
When you stop believing, you stop moving forward. When you stop moving forward you are essentially giving up on life itself. Love and use what you have now to get to the places in life that you really want to be.
The most treasured and sacred moments of our lives
are those filled with the spirit of love. The greater the
measure of our love, the greater is our joy. In the end,
the development of such love is the true measure of
success in life.

I do not judge people by the scriptures of their faith or the scars from their past, I embrace them by the content of their hearts.”

“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.”
This summer I have been seeing a beautiful butterfly almost everyday, that is so cool to see. I wonder if there is something I could learn from seeing a beautiful butterfly everyday. A butterfly lifetime is only a few days, but they are so amazing why can’t they live longer? May be I’m learning how much each day really matters because you don’t know what will happen. Love each day like today is the day to make a differences!
“On this road called life, you have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never forget. People change. Things go wrong. But just remember, the ride goes on.”

It is quite natural, in pursuing enlightenment or just in trying to be happier, to look to your everyday experiences for signs of results. Indeed, your daily life is nothing else but an expression of your spiritual condition. Your life will change as you become more loving, but not in ways you can exactly predict. What happens is not important as how you react to what happens. — Thaddeus Golas
I have so much to be thankful for this week, it was my birthday yesterday and my day was amazing. I realize more every year that gifts are not important as love. The love I know I have in my life is truly all that I am wish for. I don’t know how to decide it but it is amazing. I am very lucky! !
Certainly, none of us enjoy going through struggles, but you have to understand that your struggle may be an opportunity for advancement and promotion. The very thing you are fighting against so tenaciously may be the springboard that catapults you to a new level of excellence. Your challenges may become your greatest assets. — Joel Osteen
Feeling weird
This time in my life I feel like whenever I want to say I love you, I feel like there is not enough ways to show that person how much I love them. Its weird right? I feel like there is a better way to show how much I love like there is something else I can do to say I love you but all I need to do is be there.
“Sometimes, right when you think your life is getting better, then everything falls to pieces and you end-up right back where you started. In those moments just remember, that right when your life has fallen apart, something unexpected will come along; a new person, friend, opportunity or discovery, that will help you put the pieces back together again. Things may be different, but you will love your life again in time.”— Bryant McGill” Things can change life can change in so many ways but one thing we will always have on our side is love! We go through life and everything changes but if you know you have love you can make the best out of any time that you are facing.
Love is everything! This year I’ve learned and seen how love can impact life in so many ways. I have always knew that love was the best way to help support someone, but now I know how important love is even more. ”The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things.— Peace Pilgrim”
”Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. — Ralph Waldo Emerson”
Love through my Cerebral Palsy
All of my life I have been disabled. I have to do so many things differently, I move disabled I even talk differently. Most of the people in my life have gotten to understand that even if you do things differently I still like to do everything, I’m not afraid to try to do something than we can laugh at myself for thinking I could do it! The people who I hold close see me before my Crazy CP as I like to call my disability. I have always needed to have help, but my family and friends have always been supportive of my CP have never said I couldn’t do something just because I can’t walk. Love has always been there I have been through some hard times but knowing that I am loved is what has helped me become who I am today. I love that I can help others, I think that’s because I have always felt loved. Now I want to have the people who have been there for me, I want to show them even more love. I know how important love is, so I am going to share it!
My Skye boy.
This week has been hard for me. I lost my dog he was the best dog, he was my best friend and helper; he definitely knew when he was my aide dog. I still remember that first day when we were looking for a service dog. My mom went to look at puppies and then brought some back to the van, so I could pick out one but Skye came right up to me and gave me a puppy kiss he chose me! It was so mean to be! He was always by my side . I would have to say ”Skye go” to not run over him. After 14years its hard not to him. 
”Everything happens when it needs to happen; everyone is always where they need to be. You will never miss out on what is meant for you, even if it has to come to you in a roundabout way.”

There is always something to be happy about. Its not only when life is great but always! I know for me its when I felt like I have helped someone else feel loved, that the best feeling ever! So thanks to all of you who follow me.
My heart is sad but happy at the same time, its seems crazy that we can be happy and happy. But sometimes it just is. I see my amazing friends and family and I know I am blessed! Love can help others who are going through hard times right now .
Great healing occurs when we are better able to love our darkness. We cannot dissect our nature and simply throw out the bad. When you try to dissect and dispose of parts of yourself, you become psychotic. Only butchers of the mind dissect; this is the brutality of dualism and reductionism. We are full spectrum beings, and just as white light is every colour, we must accept our full colours to shine as brightly. As a species, we are in crisis. Crisis is imbalance. We are in crisis because we have difficulty accepting our true nature. Only complete love can completely heal our fractures and our spiritual dementia. All healing starts with beginning to accept yourself and love yourself; even your flaws.
