I am truly Livin’ the DREAM as an author, advocate, and inspirational speaker. Sharing my passion for life with others is an opportunity I am always looking for. That is why I began my company, Awesome in Action.  My first book, Helping in Action, is a story about an orphaned baby lion, Sandy; and our adventures together. It is meant to provide inspiration and recognition to people of all abilities; driving them to pursue their dreams, and empowering them to believe that they, too, can accomplish great things!

Maysoon Zayid y_largeI Have 99 Problems…. Cerebral Palsy is Just One

(Click on title above to view video)  Maysoon Zayid is a disability advocate, happens to be Arab and have Cerebral Palsy.  She is from New Jersey (she said this is one of her problems, ha ha), is a stand up comedian, actress and author.  I found the video funny and inspiring.  I relate to her as an author, advocate and a person who does not let her disability limit her.  Like her, I would like to help create a positive image for persons with disabilities in the media and in life.  It is so awesome that they publish the transcript of her talk.  Watch for my book to be available this Spring, “Helping in Action” is a children’s story with a “can, can” message.  Thanks to my friend Amy D. who sent me this Ted Talk.
