How do you use your voice? Our voices are one gift we usually take for granted. I know I do. As an advocate I always try to remember That I don’t speak for myself, I speak for others as well if not more. We all speak too much and say things we shouldn’t. Could you imagine not being able to say anything at all? We need to stop complaining about every little thing and appreciate what we already have. I have been fortunate enough in my travels to meet some wonderful individuals who are non-verbal. They are some of the best people in this world, only we never take the time to notice. I hope this post will shine a light on those we have forgotten. This past year has been difficult for all of us. Imagine being scared and not being able to express it or fully understand it.

 This will not be the longest post I have ever written or even the most eloquent, but I pray it makes the biggest difference in changing our collective perspective. Below are 10 simple sentences that we’ve all said, but if we could never have said them at all, our lives would have been greatly affected. 

The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?” Exodus 4:11 NIV

To my dear friends who have never spoken a word, thank you for your patience and understanding from lack of mindfulness. Please take your time reading each statement and let it flow through you.

1. “I don’t like the feeling of this shirt.”
2. “Why do my shoes not feel right?”
3. “How long is this car ride? I have to go to the bathroom. “
4. “What happened to that gracious lady who always remembered to put mayonnaise on my sandwiches? “
5. “I don’t want to eat this sandwich, it’s so dry.”
6. “Your hands are icy.”
7. “My ear hurts. I really think I need to go to the doctor.” 
8. “I don’t want to watch this TV show. Why do they always put it on?”
9. “That person really hurt me! Don’t put me with them!”
10. “I wish the girl knew how pretty she really was.”

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

Hello everyone, let’s spend a few minutes together and escape from life. I wanted to have some fun today. I designed this website and blog to be an ongoing conversation to bridge the gaps between the disability community and the general public conversation but I can only give you one perspective. I need you guys to get involved as well, Therefore I came up with this list of questions for anyone who takes the time to read it. Feel free to answer all questions or as many as you feel comfortable.

"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalms 73:26 NIV"

1. This should be obvious, can someone give me an accurate description of what it’s like to run?
2. It always takes me about an hour and a half to get ready for the day with the help of others. How long does it usually take you to get ready for the day?
3. What is the first thing you think of when you see someone in a wheelchair or some other visible disability?
4. Do you put your socks on before or after you put your pants on? I never really have a choice, so I never really thought about it.
5. I know I need help in the bathroom; I have to inform people. Why do people always announce it when they leave the room?
6. Every parent wants a “healthy” child, what exactly is that to you?
7. What exactly is so “inspirational” about people with disabilities?
8. We live in a world where physical appearance is idolized, what is so hard about looking at the person?
9. Why do people want to spend so much time alone on the toilet? Balancing is tricky for me. I want to get off of that thing as soon as possible. Why do you want your leg to go numb?
10. How long can you stand up before you feel tired?
11.  How long can you sit down before you feel tired? 
12. What’s one physical activity that you’ve always wanted to do? My list is a little long.
13. What’s one fear when you socialize or date someone with a disability?
14. f you had my disability what would be the one thing that scares you?

I hope this made you laugh, or at the very least give you something to think about. Do you have any questions for me? That you want me to answer in a blog? See you next time.  Have a great day.

Salutations and best wishes I look forward to our time together. After a few months of hiatus, I decided to relaunch my blog and website. I know some of you probably wondered if I died.  I can assure you I am very much alive and I feel better than ever. Just like this website I took a few months and redesigned myself. I invite you all to please click around and check out all the features. I know there isn’t much but all the important stuff is there. I’m going to use my life as an example but I don’t want this to be a blog about “Kevin and his disability” I want to focus on the human experience and help others grow spiritually and mentally. The world is tough enough as it is  I hope for a few minutes every week, I can take you out of it.  to find a little extra something.

"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house."'
Matthew 5:15 NIV

For all my new followers here is a quick synopsis of who I am. My name is Kevin G. Nuñez. At the moment of this writing, I am 3/4 of the way to my 35th birthday. That sounds weird to say, worse to stop and think about. I want my writing style to come across as a conversation between friends. I want to talk with you as the reader not talk at you. I was born and diagnosed with a developmental disability Cerebral Palsy. It is a neurological condition That affects the spinal cord in the brain. The single gets sent from the brain down my spinal canal but somewhere along the line, there’s a disconnect. Turn a key in a car, but it dies at the point of ignition. This is the best conversion I can make. I’ve been privileged to serve on various committees on both the state and national levels to ensure the rights of all people and families affected by disability. Before you ask I have not been paid for the representation I have done to this point. Not all labor should be done for financial gain. If you want more information on this aspect of my life please check out my advocacy resume on the about me page.

Doing the same activity over and over expecting different results Is the definition of Insanity. So, What makes this website different than other blogs?  To start with I have changed the name. It always irritated me to have my name on the website. I couldn’t think of any other names. I know the URL is the same but that’s only for lack of funds. I want to focus on the quality of blogs instead of quantity. There was a time when I was publishing two blog posts a week, a podcast episode, and publishing my first book all at once! By the time the book was posted on Amazon for purchase in July I was creatively exhausted. This time I will be posting only once a week on Wednesdays for 26 weeks out of the 52 week year. from March 2022 To March 2023.  I’m still going to be writing every day I’m currently working on a follow-up to my book.

 I will periodically drop book excerpts. In addition, I have all my original posts from the last website. So there will be plenty of content throughout the entire year.  A steak is always better than a hamburger, right? 

Each post will focus on a different aspect of disability life and spirituality. challenges in life are not always bad, sometimes we need them to persevere in our circumstances. the disability community is still second-class citizenship. I hope we can change this by starting a dialogue after each post. I welcome all comments and feedback.  If you guys want me to cover a specific topic please let me know. I can’t wait for our next conversation.
