		<description><![CDATA[&quot;But I couldn’t see her. She didn’t exist to me, &lt;b&gt;because I only saw what I couldn’t do.&lt;/b&gt;&quot;

DING! Light bulb moment.

Here&#039;s to remembering to look at what we&#039;ve learnt and not at what we have left to learn.

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah -

What a beautiful post.  And your work, well - my God, you&#039;ve got talent up the wazoo girl!

What are your parents thinking for God sakes?

But, then - how you shifted that focus right out of the box and realized your strengths, your beauty and your talent - that&#039;s just too awesome for words.

You can do this!!!!!  And, you know what - you ARE doing it right now.

You&#039;ve got the blog, your art is up and for sale - and you are actually motivating me more and more to get my business in the green so that your work can be on my walls.

I have my eyes on the one titled &quot;innocence&quot; (the woman sleeping) and I have the perfect spot for it.

Thank you for being a bright spot in my day, Sarah.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to Natasha Bedingfield&#039;s  Unwritten when I read this post and saw that fabulous pic of you, and I felt like I was dancing with you.

I&#039;m just beginning to realize how much of my life and career have been defined by &quot;Oh, writing is SO hard.  I&#039;ll never be able to do it.  All I can do is struggle here, every day.&quot;

Well, to hell with THAT.

Love this post.

		<description><![CDATA[And this is the central principle of disability rights activism. We ALL have things we can&#039;t do. But we don&#039;t define ourselves by them. We define ourselves by what we can do.

You are an artist. Now, that may be a tough row to hoe, but you have a good handle on how you are going to do it. And people supporting you in the meantime.

You&#039;ve started a business. You are painting (or will be; you have a new easel). You know some of the grants out there and have an idea what you need to do to be competitive for them.

Great revelation.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for pointing out what I known all along, It gets real easy to fall in to the trap of I can&#039;t because I&#039;m ______, instead of focusing on all the things that I can do, and like my dear granny always told I can&#039;t never did anything because I can&#039;t don&#039;t get up and try. Here&#039;s to getting up and trying,
