Stuff to do

So if you read this you know I am not working right now and I would like to change that.  I try to do different things.  Maybe develop a skill,  Maybe volunteer to help out the choir or a local charity that I like.  I serve on the board for local transit. 

Just a flower I kinda like
One thing I really like to do is what I call public speaking.  It's really more like sensitivity training about disability issues.  I realize the fear of speaking in public is a fear many people have.  I don't.  I like to use my experiences and energy to get people thinking.  (And I like to be the center of attention.)   On Monday, I will be talking to the inclusive education classes at the local University.  I am always up for these classes and I have spoken at them for years.  Paid or not.  Working or not.  My hope is that the people that had me speak to their classes will be a little less nervous, a little more open to differences in instruction and a little more understanding when they have students with disabilities in their classes.  I don't know if I achieve that but the feedback is pretty good.  Id really like to do more of this.

So if you read this and know of anyone who needs a motivated person who likes to speak to people and provide information, post a comment or send an e mail.  Thanks a bunch and take care.
