Looking at a Disability the Right Way!
Dear Fans, Those of you who follow my blog have read about some of my hilarious situations related to having a disability. Most of my experiences with having Cerebral Palsy have been comical only because we always find a way to look at CP in the best way that we can.

Some of us have to deal with the challenge of incontinence. In this blog post, I’m going to let you know about a somewhat amusing experience I had camping with a couple of my close friends. At least we can laugh about it now! We had a pretty relaxing summer! I spent a lot of time hanging out with two friends who had “moved in” for a few weeks, just to help out and have some fun. Before they came over, I texted one of them, suggesting the idea of going camping (I wasn’t really too serious about it!). When they came over, we decided that we’d actually try it! We picked a campground and packed for a two-night stay, but with … [Read more...]
