"Push Girls" Episode 3

Hi everybody!
This episode really made me mad. I can't believe Mia's mom would act like that. I felt as if she got no support at all from her mother.  Speaking from personal experience, I have no idea where I'd be if I didn't have the support from my friends and family.  I give Mia snaps though... she was able to help her mom see that she wasn't broken, and still able to function.  I also loved the end of the episode when they showed Angela's "celebration of life party"  It is sometimes really easy for disabled people to get in a depressive state of mind.  For me, I sometimes tend to focus on the stuff I can't do. Instead of doing that I need to take a lesson from these girls, and celebrate how awesome my life is!
Until Next Time

Episodes 1 and 2 of "Push Girls"

This show is excellent!  Being in a chair myself, I can relate to all the things that the girls go through.  I have to say out of all of the girls, I can relate to Auti and Mia the most. My friends have called me a fire cracker before! The dance was killer!!!  I try not to let things bother me.  I also try to attack life and kick butt in all I do. Auti's husband said " The chair is something that's part of you, and I'll have to deal with it because I love you"  That is like the sweetest thing that I have heard anyone say. I love how Mia didn't back down on her desire to have a child.  It is no secret that breakups suck.  I was glad she was able to stand her ground.  Tiphany's sense of individuality is something to be admired.  She is also hilarious. Angela is awesome for getting back into the modeling world.  You go girl!  I have wanted to model for a while now, but I do nor even know where to begin. It would be so incredibly awesome if I could tell my story on a future episode of, "Push girls" Unlike the girls on the show now, I was born with Cerebral Palsy, and thus, I have been in a char my whole life.  I hope I can share my journey with the public on "Push Girls" one day!
Until next time!

Loving Life at the Moment!

I am loving life at the moment!  A few posts ago, I was writing about how I wanted to see more disabled awareness in the media... Well, there is a new show on the Sundance channel called, "Push Girls"  The main goal of this show is to dispel any ignorance that people may have about the disabled.  The premiere is tomorrow at 10!  You can watch it early by clicking here! Throughout the series I will be sure to blog about it, and share my thoughts with Y'all.  I am so excited to watch.  It will be quite therapeutic for me! It is so nice to know that I am not alone in this.  I now feel like I have an even bigger platform to spread my message. I first heard about these inspiring ladies on The Ellen Show.  I was in all of their, "never say die" attitude!  You can watch their ellen interview here  I even shared the link to this blog on "Push Girls" Facebook page, and they got back to me.  How awesome is social media?
Until next time.
