Hailey, my shining star!

Hailey, my shining star! Last night was the night that Impact Dance Co. did their interpretation of Hailey’s life through dance.  For over 5 years now the founder of Impact dance company  Meghan Mccaffrey had visions of Hailey Inspired dancers in her head. What a fine job she did! Her choreography was spot on and her dancers did an unbelievable job at  manipulating their bodies to capture Hailey’s unique and quirky movements that are characteristic of her affliction with Cerebral Palsy. She even seemed to include some of Hailey’s involuntary movements in a whimsical fashion with style and grace embracing her challenges and rais...

Cerebral Palsy Awareness and Something Special Magazine

As many of you may already know, since my granddaughter Hailey was born 5 years ago, I have been painting to help raise awareness for Cerebral Palsy.

I’ve always enjoyed painting, but...

The Words He Spoke

I had the honor of being a guest at a beautiful  wedding a couple of weeks ago. I can honestly say it was the most touching wedding I have ever been to in my entire life and I don’t say that lightly. The Bride (Patty) is a co-worker of mine and her Groom  (Vaughn) was a man she had met on the internet. Sure, I know what you are all thinking “They met on the internet!!” that sounds pretty dangerous doesn’t it. Well you can only imagine our surprise when Patty came into work and announced their engagement  very soon after they met. I have to say that we all thought it was a bit soon. But Patty was totally in Love for the first ti...
