cerebral palsy does not define you

Jewel had a lovely 11th birthday with her family, Aunties, and her friend Ava.
She received a wonderful piece of original Art by Sophie, it is a drawing of Jewel and her dog Grace.
Ava gave her dragon books and the Aunties gave her dolly clothes.
Jewel loves events to be simple where she is able to converse and socialize one on one.

Lately when Jewel wakes up, she opens her eyes, smiles and says; "oh yeah!"  What a fitting welcome to each new day!

Sophie has a exceptional calender of original Art workt, that she put out at Christmas.
www.domusproject.org  is where you can get more information on this amazing artist and all the proceeds of the sales go to the Domus Project which helps the homeless.  Please check out both these sites. Sophie's Art can stand alone as great work but when you realize that Sophie is non-mobile and that she needs a lot of assistance, she is doing the "impossible" by her determination and passion for Art.
www.dreamsonpaper.com is Sophie's Art web site.  Sophie has cerebral palsy and is non verbal but she has never let that stop her from living a fullfilled life.  She has never let her cerebral palsy limit her or define her.  She is my hero and inspiration.  Sophie gives me hope, thank you Sophie!
