For the last several months, the United States has seen events which, as the title of this blog segment states, have caused fear and controversy. This author has been living, observing, processing, and, like many citizens, taking part in the democratic process during these events. Yet, at the same time that this fear and controversy has been occurring, this author has been experiencing and observing something else, thriving.
This author has made it routine to add the hashtags #OneDayAtATime and #DisabilityComesWithAbility to the bottom of social media posts, and these last months have proven to be excellent representations of both.
In the midst of the above mentioned fear and controversy which this author has had to take one day at a time for the sake of mental health, this author has also experienced an increase in professional and personal opportunities, and has witnessed similar occurrences among other acquaintances in the disability community. Such occurrences have reminded this author that even in the midst of controversy and fear, great things that have positive and lasting impacts can happen. That said, please remember to rest when needed and then to keep learning, speaking up, and shaping a better tomorrow for everyone.
