When that provision comes, it helps you to lean in to your Godgiven purpose that touches your soul. I encourage you to allow your new found purpose in life to reflect positivity in your thoughts and your actions. And even though living with life with a disability or physical challenge is never easy, we can be encouraged and live a full life optimistically through our faith, positive support from others, and available tools and resources. And finally, let's accept the new reality that allows us to still move

People who are differently abled might have a more pointed example of challenges, but I think everybody can relate to the journey we have to be on and to be awake inside that journey and to include people in it and have the mental health that you need to just be a part of your own personal growth. And I'm really looking forward to just getting to know your story, getting to know you, and supporting what you want to talk about and then including us in that conversation

And yet we have to walk through adversity and I have remained positive and resilient in order to keep moving forward. And I know that this is my opportunity to use my purpose to advocate, influence and motivate those facing challenges while educating others and bringing awareness to disability inclusion. Thank you and I look forward to talking to you soon

Kim kimberly I just love the phrase the power of grace through humility, the constant navigation of your own heart in the world. I have the good fortune of having some physically differently abled great nieces, one of the best cerebral pals, and she's so freaking amazing and confident and out there and has overcome so much because of not being able to use all of her body. But the parts that she does use, she's just strikingly adept and graceful
But I think the main thing, and like you said, is to put a positive spin on life. Everything can be hard in life. You you just have to turn around and see what's the positivity and how you overcome different things. And people always see me as a very positive person. I like to think of myself as a positive person, but I work at being positive. And I really liked your message, so it was good listening to

Hello. Thank you so much for sharing your story and putting this out. I can really relate to it because I have cerebral palsy, so I really do appreciate any kind of awareness you can bring, and I can really relate to having some struggles that you have to overcome, but I try to think about it in the same way that you do. Just positive thinking. Just keep pushing. Just do what you got to do to do what you want to do

Hello. First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for alighting us on your disability. And the transition of that change, giving us that awareness that we don't know about. That information was very new to me. And I will go and look up more. My heart go out to you and your strength, because that it's a beautiful sight to see someone fighting to overcome a challenge. And as you share with us, I can see that you are definitely evolving in that disability

You have to stay motivated, keep your family motivated and depending on your living situation, some people are going home by themselves and there is no family there. So they have to have a nurse come in or medical staff come in to be that support for them

It. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Yes, I agree with you so much on a lot of everything you pretty much just said, and I think it's dope, that you're going back to where you left, not where you left well, of course you left, but let them know, give them a little bit more hope. If God could do it for you, that he can do it for them, and that's going to be dope

And that's all we got to do, is just believe the little prayers that we have in our heart, that life will get better, even if it seems impossible, that love and light will provide
My wife has a condition, a physical condition called spinal stenosis, where it's a degeneration of the cartilage between the spinal cord. And it's hereditary, except her condition is worse than her father had. But she has had two major surgeries, spinal fusion. And you mentioned how you've suffered, unfortunately, a situation of paralysis with your left arm as a result of a surgery that was done. My wife's first surgery didn't come out that well
