My mission statement~

I intend on "trying" to live a life that is about: not putting in my mouth things that are bad for me or have come from an animal that was treated cruely while alive on this earth and during slaughter, creating lasting fond memories for my children and grandchildren, adventure, challenging myself, respect others regardless of species, race, color or creed, taking risks, having fun, being grateful, respecting myself & my body, being authentically myself, taking responsibility for my actions, being proactive, being a problem solver, taking action, introspection, transition, change, honesty, growth, loving & helping others, having integrity, doing my best, being easy on myself, enjoying this world, becoming well read, seeing the wonder of it all and never allowing fear to hold me back!

A perfect example of a great human being..........

I first saw Patrick on the home makeover show. Then this morning he was on the hour of power. He is such an inspiration. I ordered his book just now. I love his main philosophy:
"Focus on your abilities, not what society say's is your disabilities"
Enjoy below:
video's about him.






Happy Sunday Y'all! Have a super great week!
Peace, HeidiHo;)

I was just perusing your home repair list and thought I would tell you I am feeling accomplished tonight. I finished painting the trim in the bathroom tonight. Unfortunately, the doors still need to be done.

I saw that episode too. He is an inspirational character.

I have a friend IRL who is similar. I've gotten to be there are he fought to get his life back after becoming a quadrepeligic at 21. It's so amazing to see all he goes through and yet he's found a way through all that pain to be happy.

I had not heard of this young man or his story. Thank you for sharing the story with us. He certainly is very inspirational.
