Summer


Now I can finally say it is summer out. Adria and I are sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. I am thinking about my next blog, what am I going to write about when it hit me! I am going to write about what I am going to do for my summer. I have a job now so I am working and also on May 28th I'm moving in with my best friend Laura. A couple of years ago Laura and I drove out to Vernon, BC for a couple of days. Then I went back next summer for two weeks. I've had other summer plans since then so this is the first summer I've had the chance to go again but I don't know if I really want to go to Vernon. I really don't know what I want to do for the summer but I know that I am working during it. If I take time off from work it will be a week but it's only a week and I don't know if I want do that. So I am staying here in Calgary for the summer and working. I'll go out with friends and get back in contact with old friends where we've fallen out of touch. I want to start attending CPA events, they have a group meet on every Tuesday night and they go everywhere, to a movie, supper, coffee. It sounds like a great way to meet some new friends. Also I need to get back with the Between Friends Club but I don't know if I want to start in the summer or wait until the fall. I hope you guys have a good summer and I will keep posting here! Does anyone have any recommendations of what I should check out in Calgary this summer?

Publishing

I wrote a book on my life with having CP. I've been working on my life story for 12 years now and I finished it two months ago. And now I don't know what I should do with my book: publish it or leave it alone for now? I don't care to get it published but I want to my story out there about living with a disability like Cerebral Palsy . People always ask how my book is coming along and now I can finally say it's finished! Should I get my web site Wheels About up and running and then put my book on Wheels About? Or is my best bet to go to a publisher and talk about my options and what way would be better for me? If anyone out there has any advice about publishing, let me know! Thank you!
