One-of-a-Kind

The four of us went to our favorite park today to ride bikes. I was glad to run into my friend Jenny down by the pond watching the ducks. I had not seen her since she was crowned Miss Wheelchair America this time last year. She has been traveling non-stop speaking out about the needs and rights of disabled individuals...it was great to hear her stories.  A motivational speaker, Jenny is such an inspiration to folks who feel limited by their physical challenges. She has accomplished amazing things, including a Masters Degree and is still so young. Born with only 3 partial limbs she skateboards, surfs, dances, and she also sings beautifully.  Recently publishing a children's book, she is now working on one for teens.  Jenny makes her rounds to the schools here in Tacoma to talk to the kids about growing up different...with an anti-bullying message. 
So thankful for folks, like Jenny, that make a positive impact wherever they go.
