A War Against the Enemy

The canopy shines down upon me with it's bright beautiful light, spurring me on with its powder blue sky's to keep on keeping on. Its warm, soft fibers wrap me up in a comfortable, soothing blanket where I have been blessed to have people who care about me, and can guide me, and help me, and lead me to problem solve, and fix this 2 month old frustration and dilemma I've been having to maintain and fix my blog; so that I can continue to write my entry's to all of you.

It is indeed a blessing, because I was beginning to wonder if I would eVER get this thing working again.  I am so connected to writing and sharing, and touching other individuals lives who have Cerebral Palsy, a learning disability, and aNY other kind of developmental delay; that I do not know what I would do if I couldn't write, connect, or reach out in the way that I do. 

Thus, I want to thank all of you for being patient with me as I keep moving forward to make this blog and my site the best you expect it to be.  I welcome all your suggestions and kind words, as I continue to fight the good fight and continue to speak up for the rights of people with disabilities and advocate on your behalf! 

I will climb the highest mountain, and speak the truths as I see them.  It has been well over thirty years since I have started on this path and no one, no where, no how, will stop me from empowering and inspiring and leading the way to real solidarity in the world we live in today.  We must forge forward, together, in unison.  We must do this by continuing to break down the walls and the berries that separate and divide us. We must keep our chins up, and face our foes head on, and we must continue our battles in a constructive, positive, reaffirming way.  We will succeed, and keep succeeding, and conquering, but ONLy if we lend our hands to another. 

If you want to wage a war against discrimination, or in any mater- we must all work together in partnership  and truly heLP each other across the board like I was today, and yesterday, from a fellow CPer."?))))))))) If we all find it within ourselves to help or lend a helping hand to one another we will all better ourselves.

Progress While Moving Forward

The cold of winter has left for the season, as well as the hearts and arrows of Valentine's Day.  They have been left behind by the many moments and minutes and weeks gone by.  If you haven't seen any entries from me going up lately on this blog for the past two months, it has been because I have been literally and physically jumping hurtles to cope and deal with people who are "EXPerts" in their own fields, who think they know it all- about EVERything!

Some people have suggested that I rewrite all of my articles with a preface. While others, tell me to get Goggles help, and still other technicians offer little or no suggestions at all.  What then is a poor, sincere girl like me suppose to do?

All and all, I have continued on the straight and narrow.  In the last couple of months, I have not only been making arrangements to fly back to the east coast, but I have begun the process of trying to expand my visibility.  I have secured a speaking engagement for the historical society at Kean University.  This is just another goal that I have been working towards to empower myself and others.  Because of my Dear and devoted friend, professor Sean Dineen, this speaking event has been made possible. 

We will be making a video of my presentation which I hope to share and make available to all my readers and compatriots.  I am really looking forward to this trip-in meeting new people, making new contact, and expanding my own personal circle of friends.  I await anxiously to spread my story and book to those who have no idea of who Karen Lynn is.

I do this because I find a deep reward in giving of myself and of sharing my life with others. I have experienced so much throughout my entire life span; that I feel that this is the least I can do.  I feel that this is the only way to give back to the world and community, and to stay personally connected with each and everyone of you!  It also gratifies me in surmountable ways, of which, has profound effect on my life, and gives me an energy that revitalizes my spirit.   All of you have either watched me personally, or experienced for yourself, what daily struggles and challenges are like.  Weather living with a disability or not, we all have moments in our daily affairs which we have to cope and deal with.  But if we have a friend to turn to... it makes life a whoLE lot easier to deal with these difficulties effectively.

I share with all of you, so that we all are not alone, and so we all have each other to turn to!
