What Do You Find Motivational!?

Photo Courtesy of Xaxor.com 

Yesterday I wrote up a post about not judging a book by its cover because it was on my mind.  I thought I would continue this idea again today.  I talked about people not seeing things yesterday and today I want to talk about the opposite issue.  I know many people I have been friends with over the years who would much rather you ask them what is wrong or what is different about them instead of staring.

In looking up things on the internet I came across this video that I wanted to share with you.  The things that this woman has gone through have been beyond cruel and yet she has lived on and is now a motivational speaker. I would love it if you watch  the entire video and tell me what you think.  Do you think people are cruel?  And if you have/were to have something that people stared at would you rather them speak up or just stare?

I think that children are the best.  I love when they come up and ask questions even when the parents freak out.  I am always really nice about it and explain everything really simply to the child.

Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover!

Everyone has heard of the saying "Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover".  This is something that has been on my mind lately.  I had another incident at the store the other day that really started eating at me.  IF you haven't seen some of my other posts then you don't know, but I have one of the many physical disabilities that is categorized as "an invisible disease".  I was having a bad day struggling to walk and I decided to use my handicap pass and park up front so I did not have to walk far.  There was a little old couple walking from farther back who gave me a nasty look and told me that I was doing something wrong.  I hate when people do this.  It really, really bothers me.  

Please remember everyone.  We all have our reasons for things and you really shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.  Have you ever had an incident when someone judged a book by its cover?  It doesn't have to be about you if could have just been something you saw.

3E Love





What is 3E Love?

I haven’t written any reviews up here on my blog yet, but this is one that I cannot pass by.  3E Love is a non-for-profit organization that was started by two dear friends of mine, Annie & Stevie Hopkins. To quote them on their website: 3E Love

“3E Love, LLC. is a social entrepreneurial experiment to change the perception of disability. The company was started by siblings Annie & Stevie Hopkins in 2007 with the intent of promoting their unique symbol and social model of disability. The company's trademarked International Symbol of Acceptance (wheelchair heart logo) is the drive behind it's social mission to provide the tools for others to embrace diversity, educate society, and empower each other to love life. What was once just a small Chicago disability pride clothing brand is now an international movement of acceptance. People with disabilities are everywhere, and thousands of t-shirts and other items later, so is the 3E Love message.”

Annie Hopkins was the one with the idea to start this amazing organization, however she passed away in 2009 and her brother has not let the organization go.  He works hard, promoting through Facebook, word of mouth and through travelling to various locations to promote at Expo’s.  They have expanded with followers from all over the world!
