My Next Prediction

I predict that August, 2011, is going to be a BIG month for me.  In Feb, 2011, I predicted that March was going to be a big month for me...AND IT WAS!!!  In March, 2011, my first two books were published and available for sale (The Princess and the Dolphin & The Princess and the Puppy);  I was on the TV News TWICE on March 8th (Channel 4 News and First Coast News); several newspaper articles were written about me being a quad who is writing children's books; I had two "Meet the Author" presentations that month and March was also when I became an official "client" of ATrue Productions with Brandon Ayers as my incredibly wonderful and talented marketing manager. August will be when my next two books will get published and become available for sale (The Princess and the Parakeet and The Princess and the Rabbit)... plus whatever Brandon has in store for us.  I just feel that whatever happens is going to be BIG.  Stay tuned...

New home therapies for me

A company called Americare Home Health has been sending me a Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist 2-3 times a week for the past 2 weeks!  I can actually move more parts of my body now, than ever before!    I know I am a quadriplegic, but if I try real hard, I can move every part of my body (even if it's ever so slightly). I'm giving it all I've got because I can see the results and I want to get better at everything I try to do.

My BIGGEST handicap is my speech.  I have been praying so hard that God will grant me the gift of better speech.  I've been told that I have a good sense of humor, that I am mentally alert and creative (which is why I have become a published author of children's books) and that I have a brilliant mind, but what good is all that if I can't express my thoughts clearly enough to be understood when I speak? Or fast enough to interject my thoughts into the conversations going on around me? I am also seeing a speech therapist, but that doesn't seem to be helping me much.    I am very frustrated right now, but I have the faith to believe that God will get me through this....somehow.
