Eunice's Hope

This video touches on two subjects very near and dear to my heart: individuals who have disabilities and the Kennedys.  Caught up in the glitz and glamour of JFK's presidency, I forget his sister worked tirelessly on behalf for those who had disabilities.  It is heart-warming to know this woman pioneered in making lives better for those who have special needs.  She made this a finer world and afforded hope for the future!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

A New Era

In my travels today, I found a very uplifting article about a girl with Down syndrome who is a swimwear model for a major designer’s campaign.  For me, it’s the sign of changing times; and it will usher in a new era.  It gladdens my heart this is taking place!  As I said before, I grew up with the underlying stigma of being “different” and somewhat of a novelty in school.  It is a great boost, not only to the disabled world, but also to the community at large to have special needs clients for this effort.  Change is afoot, and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
