Me having Cerebral Palsy is a bigger deal to me than it is to other people – that’s what I realized today.

It’s 12 :  13 PM on day 1722 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Amos 4, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing  – The brilliant colored bird-of-paradise, or crane flower, gets its name from the flower’s resemblance to the bird of the same name.  Though native to South Africa, the bird-of-paradise has made its way across the globe—it’s the city flower of Los Angeles, California.
– feed myself French toast for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign– $3 000 raised so far  .

Today I realized that me having Cerebral Palsy is a bigger deal to me than it is to other people I’m always in two minds as to whether or not I should explain the fact I have Cerebral Palsy to new people I meet in person or talk to over the phone I feel the need to explain myself because I really want them to understand why I talk the way I do but I rarely end up mentioning it because I find that people understand what I’m saying fairly well.
