Salutations to my dear friends. I hope you guys are all enjoying the early days of spring. Every once in a while, we all need a pick-me-up. I decided to write one for my fellow individuals who may be having a hard time right now. Please read or share this with any individuals with a disability of any kind who are going through a difficult time. I, the writer, have a disability, so I hope my words can provide additional comfort. What I’m going to do to make this writing a little more digestible, is list ten brief statements for you to ponder over. Please note the order does not indicate importance; it’s just the way it came out of me.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalms 139:14 NIV
- Just because there is something medically wrong with you does not mean there’s anything wrong with you. Scientifically one in four people are diagnosed with some form of developmental disability. It is universally understood that no human is perfect, therefore there has to be something wrong with everyone.
- Don’t let your bad days distract you from remembering the good days.
- You are under no obligation to accept someone’s evaluation of you.
- Everyone always fights for what they want, don’t let them make you feel less than for doing the same.
- Your disability cannot stop you from having a life, only you can do that. Learn the difference between existing in living.
- if you want people to see you as a person, you must do it before the public does.
- Your disability does not give you an excuse to treat others any less than you want to be treated.
- Learn to rest and exercise both your mind and your body.
- We are never abandoned without a gift. Once you learn what yours is, do not be afraid to use it.
- Find a small circle of friends, not a large number of acquaintances.
I pray this small blog finds someone who needs uplifting and encouragement. Remember, you are not given anything you cannot handle. Thank you for reading, and I hope to see you soon.
Disability Limbo Newsletter
I started Letters from the Limbo as a way to connect with you on a deeper level. Twice a month, I send out an email filled with personal anecdotes, professional updates (like my recent reelection as Vice Chair of the NJCDD), and the policy insights I don’t share anywhere else. This isn’t just another email—it’s an unfiltered look at the life of a disability advocate. Join my community and get an exclusive, honest look at the work that matters
Thank you for your response. ✨
