I am a middle aged vegan quadraplegic trying to put together a volunteer program in an urban high school and the whole time what I really want is a nap.
Thank you for visiting these words attached to a life in progress. I don't pretend to have all the answers but I know that I am searching for my place in this world. When I find it, I feel sure that I will have the urge to repaint it and make it my own. I don't ever mean to offend by casually using the term "cripple"- I just want those of us without fully functioning bodies to take back the power of words like disabled, cripple, gimp, spaz. We do have the ability to define who and what we are by neutralizing the hurtfulness of words like those. Please leave your comments (just click on the word "comments" at the end of a post). I promise to read them and will answer as best I can. I hope to someday figure out how to email readers directly but I'm not that savy yet. Until then, be well!
