I have decided to nurture mother earth and ride my bike to class which means I will no longer be providing yoga props as of April 20th. Please bring your props to class and join me in riding to class if you would like.
Ocean and I are all settled in our new Home Sweet Home in Lower Roberts Creek living in community with another beautiful family. Close to Nana and Uncle Rama, Pappy and all Ocean's many Auntie's and Uncles. We are so blessed! We love being just across the street from the big Ocean. Ocean is growing up fast and saying lot's of new words. His favorite being Happy Happy Happy and Ommmmmmmm. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree I guess. Ocean's latest achievement is potty heaven. Go little o! Grandad came to visit last week and we had so much fun. Ocean calls him Dad Dad. I thought I would include a picture to capture our visit in one image. Yummy Bliss.
Mike (Shining Sage) and I have decided put on a 2nd annual CommUNITY dinner in support of our dear and beloved friend Myah to raise awareness and support for disabled kids in developing nations by trekking to Machu Pichhu with her Mom Angela.
Come out and enjoy some wonderful food catered by Shining Sage, mingle with your community, hear Myah's story and be completely inspired by watching Peace Pilgrim, a documentary about an amazing woman who walked the talk. Literally.Dinner will be at 5:30 followed by the movie at 7:00. Dinner Tickets are on a sliding sc...ale from $12 to $15 dollars and the movie is by donation. The proceeds of this evening of unity in our community will go to Myah's Anything Is Possible Campaign.
I have a quest and I can't do it on my own. If you can help me financially to achieve my goal or support me by spreading the word, I would appreciate it so much. My name is Myah. I am sixteen years old. I was born with an underdeveloped left cerebellum. This affects my physical balance and co ordination of muscles. My speech is somewhat unclear and I stumble a lot. I took a long time to start to walk and I used a walker until I was eight years old. I could have used it longer but I started homeschooling, so I used my Mom and the walls of my house to help me get around. By the time I was nine my brother had taught me how to run by chasing me and yelling until I was forced to move fast enough to get away from him. It may sound bad but I laughed so hard I fell down and after he helped me up we did it again. I now walk a lot and I am pretty good on my own. I work at it everyday. You can tell that I am somehow different by the way I walk and talk. But who isn't different in some way?
The biggest thing I have always known was that anything is possible. My family helped me understand this and I have proven its truth many times. Nobody thought I would do any of the things I have done. But as soon as they saw that I wouldn't give up, everyone I have ever known got behind me and cheered me on. That's what I am hoping for again. This is my story.
Over the last few months I have been thinking about how fragile life can be and how difficult it is sometimes and how wonderful it is too. For example it's wonderful when you decide to do something and because you believe you can, it comes true. This has happened to me. I decided that I wanted to help people, especially kids facing challenges. I also decided that I want to face a challenge myself and go to Machu Picchu. When I was looking for an organization that worked with disabled kids somewhere in the developing world, I found Equip KIDS International. This is a small group who provide assistive equipment and education for disabled kids and their families. They will eventually be able to help kids all over the world who need them, but for now they are helping kids in Cusco, Peru. Then I found out that they had a fund raising event each year. I was surprised to find out that the event was a 9 day trek that climbed to Machu Picchu.
Both of my intentions can be met. So I emailed the founder of Equip KIDS. She said she would be honoured to have me on her trek especially because the kids in Cusco don't have any role models at all because there is such cultural and economic bias against people with disabilities that they are mostly hidden away and not expected to do anything. I think it is important for me to show them and their families that they can do and be anything they want.
So I have decided that my Mom and I will be going on this trip. We cannot afford to do this on our own. This last year was difficult for my family, financially speaking. I want to raise the money for the plane tickets and the 9 day trek. I am going to climb up to see Machu Picchu. I am going to see the kids in Cusco. I am going to show them and everyone else that they can do anything. And this is just the beginning! Anything is possible.
