Diamonds in your back yard

I want to encourage you to look for the diamonds in your own back yard!
I am always hearing about how great it is in some other state, or country for individuals with disabilities. I think the best thing is to make a difference where you are and know that the ripple effect will influence others. I believe all the support you will need is close by. We just have to look and dig in our own back yard. We used to cry and treat people harshly when they stared at Jewel or said something ignorant. Now we know that the most powerful thing is to educate ourselves so that we may be able to educate others. Making friends with those potential foes is what life is all about. Our story has more common elements in it that include, rather than uncommon elements that separate us one from another. Share your story, and come along side another person that you may think is different. Friendship is were all the power and love is and the walls come tumbling down.
