"He is Able Who Thinks He is Able" - Buddha

 When disability is a daily reality it's difficult to check your inner advocate and activist at the door and look beyond the stereotypical 'triumph over adversity' story. Perhaps we have just all become too jaded... 

 I'm told that for someone who's supposed to be up-to-date on all things disability, I'm behind on this one, but while reading this week's installment of THIS Magazine's ThisAbility Blog, I discovered where I'll be eating next time I'm looking for somewhere to have a special dinner.

I don't find myself being inspired by the stories of disabled people very often these days, but Pascal Ribreau is an exception. 

A Sunny Hat for Sunny Days

   A few months ago I sent my friend Kyla some yarn to make me a hat to go with my all-things-sunflower habit. This picture doesn't do it justice, but here is the fabulous finished product:).  
   

WTF?

  

  

 

Thank Goodness for Jeremy Fisher *hehe*

If You lived here, you'd be home now

  Big news! I'm a homeowner! 

 In a little less than three weeks I'll be moving to my VERY OWN loft space in the Merchandise Building. I'm so excited! Not only because I'll have a fabulous new apartment, but because the building is essentially right on campus, so I'll never have to travel to school ever again, woot! 

 I got a new couch yesterday. Crazy colour I know (it's actually a bit more lime green in person) but I'm kind of in love with it=) Now I just need to figure out a colour to paint the walls that won't totally clash...
