Being different is not a scary thing, it's beautiful and I want people to know that! Don't be scared, don't run and you may find something beautiful! I feel now it is time for me to give something back or put a smile on someones face. Please be sure if you post anything on the page that it is appropriate and you cut no one down. Thanks so much for all the support. If you would like me to post anything on this page please feel free to send it to me in a message!***********************************************Mission statement:

Life is amazing, and everyone deserves to be in the spot light at sometime. My friends and I with disabilities sometimes get pushed a side, and people forget that we are there too. Keeping hope alive for Disability Awareness is a place that people can come together and change the world in are own way! Share a story, something that happened or is going to happen and just be who we are. We are people too.

**********************************************Who I Am I am not my hair, my eyes, my nose or my mouth. I am not my skin or the shape of any of my body parts. I am not the IQ of my brain. I am not the sound of my voice or the volume of my laughter. I am not my strengths or any of my weaknesses. I am not the level of my skills. The temple of my physical makeup is a culmination of genetics. It reveals nothing about the person who resides within. I take no credit or point no blame for the way I look. My temple is perfect, as is. This body is not who I am. It is an exquisitely perfect dwelling for my soul. Everything about it is exactly as it should be. No other, anywhere, ever, could serve my soul as well. I am not anything you can see with your eyes or touch with your hands. Should you judge me by that criteria, you will never know me. I am not a dumping ground for bias that's based on a man-made standard, and I do not accept the prejudice it creates. I am a union of body, mind and spirit, a trio, not a solo. To know me, is to know yourself. Those who hear the voice of their soul, recognize the song in mine. They do not stop at the front door and judge me by the dwelling in which I reside. With a humble sense of honor, they knock upon the door and ask to come in. The judgment of others does not change who I am. Quite the opposite is true. It reveals who they are. Those who deem me unworthy at a glance and pass me on by, have my blessing to keep walking, for they have a long way to go. They have not reached the point in their journey where they are able to see and appreciate me for who I am. I will accept no less. © 2001 Terri McPherson Windsor, Ontario, Canada
