Perseverance is not only a response to adversity, it is a deliberate choice to accept what I encounter. Choosing perseverance is my key to growth and enjoyment!

Disability is not something that is against us that must be fixed to prove our worth, it is something everyone can recognize in moments of uncertainty and grow from it. Disability is a motivation to pay attention to our ability and apply it to the situation. Recognize that disability is something that everyone encounters on their journey to grow. 

 Reflecting on a mantra that sustains me through challenges.

Reflecting on the realization of the experience that is the root of who I am.

Sharing a constant battle that I must face in order to learn as my present self.

As important as an end goal is, the journey to the end is just as valuable.

Inspired by the realization that the pain I suppressed in my past reappears today and trying a different way of dealing with it.

Choosing to look back to recognize growth instead of judging what cannot be changed.

Keep examining what surrounds you, past and present. Don’t lose sight of yourself, no matter where you’re headed.

The realizations after taking time to reflect on myself and my past.

Reflecting on how listening to the inner voice doesn’t guarantee knowing. Letting intuition guide us to learn.

A reflection on choosing to love without expectations.

A reflection on what used to be and how to continue on with the changes.

A reflection on how inspirations are guiding us, even if we’re not concentrating on them.

 A reflection on the loss of a constant role and the discovery experienced when embracing change.

 A reflection on how I find more in life when it's quiet and open myself to learn more.

Do you have something special that nobody else understands? Take a moment to give it thanks and keep it as a special part of you. This is my tribute to Tommy the Tumor, my special companion.

 Looking back on something that started as a method of survival and is now a special part of who I am.
