Not every disabilities are visible. I strongly believe that you have no idea what may be going on in anyone else's life until you have spent a week in their shoes walking the trail they are on. As I have written about before, I have dyslexia. I didn't have the choice to have it, but… Continue reading The ABILITY in disABILITY

Flying High
It was the night. It was finally happening. On Valentine's day I was going to a formal dinner with a lovely teenage boy who was Tall, Dark, and Handsome. I had been looking forward to this for awhile. I had a purple high low dress on and high healed shoes. He treated me like a… Continue reading Flying High
Fall Leaves
Fall, a season for hoodies, pumpkin spice lattes, and leaves falling under the trees. There is a definite change in the atmosphere, fashion, and appearance of nature. Besides pumpkin spice lattes, the colors and variety of leaves is my favorite thing about this season. As an artist, I love noticing variation in colors of leaves.… Continue reading Fall Leaves
The Piano Keys
Music is a part of my life. In my instrument collection I have a violin, xylophone, a toy bagpipe (that actually works), and an accordion. Out of all of these instruments I have only been trained in the art of playing violin. Even though I have not taken lessons in the other instruments, I still… Continue reading The Piano Keys

I have been doing this for health reasons and personal convictions about harming animals for my dinner. Let me tell you, if you are a new… Continue reading Pro-Life Vegetarian *Gasp*
Detox
Recently I started using Bentonite clay on my face. If you are not familiar with this, it is a powder that you make into a paste, then put on your body to draw out the toxins. For the majority of the summer I was able to easily eat primarily vegetarian, but since school started it… Continue reading Detox
Life is About Collecting Memories, Not Collecting Things
Blessed one word to describe my life. Yes, I have had hard times, times of trials, and times of hardship, but those whom G-d has placed in my life has always been a blessing to me. Because my parents chose to home school me in elementary school I have had hundreds of experiences that my… Continue reading Life is About Collecting Memories, Not Collecting Things
Potential, Oppisite, Views, (POV)
Every story has *at least* two sides, but what happends if we only learn about just one side? When my parents put me in a traditional school I was in a culture shock because I had never been around those who live in the country/small small towns with conservative values for a consideral amount of… Continue reading Potential, Oppisite, Views, (POV)
What Every Teacher Needs to Hear About Students Who “Just Don’t Get It”
Teacher, "I have your tests graded" My heart sinks. I start getting consumed with the worry of crying in front of my peers because I know I will never be as smart or valuable in their eyes. Teacher, "I was really impressed by how you guys did. Your class had a few low scores but… Continue reading What Every Teacher Needs to Hear About Students Who “Just Don’t Get It”
