I'm glad to be your humble and obedient servant, Zechen Elder Daniel Ben Moshe, Benai Yahshuah Synagogue of Broward County, www.theblindcansee.org Choose ye this day whom you will serve. If Yahweh is Elohim, serve him. If Baal be Elohim, serve him. But, as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh. _____ From: tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tabi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Allison and Chip Orange Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 7:58 PM To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tabi] Re: FW: The Opportunity of Adversity That's a good response, I like it!

I remember years ago I accompanied Barbara Kiger, a local writer who is blind, to the TV studios where she was talking about Independence for the Blind (FIRE, The Lighthouse) and one of the news anchors said something like "You don't look blind" and Barbara responded "This is what blind looks like". I never have forgotten that.

Aimee, who is missing both legs from the shin down, set world records in several track events at the Paralympics in 1996. In this powerful and poignant 22 minute video, Aimee speaks from her heart about society's use of the term "disabled" and the power of labels. Aimee says "It's society that disables an individual by not investing in enough creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and valuable and capable." Aimee talks about the opportunity of adversity. http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/03/09/mullins.beyond.disability/index.html This should be shared. No virus found in this incoming message.
