It is only 6:30AM on the west coast and already I have been inspired! A friend sent me a link to Diane Rose's story and I was so uplifted I had to write and share her story with you!
You see, Diane Rose is a master quilt maker. Her gorgeous quilts are displayed all around her home, which you can see in the news report. What makes Diane's story remarkable is that she has been blind since childhood.
Her interviewer asks Diane how she deals with her handicap. She says she doesn't see her blindness as a handicap -- it is only an "inconvenience"! Her blindness can get in her way when she wants to do something, she says; but, she can always find a way to get around it!
She goes on to encourage others to just get out and do! No matter how much you hurt, physically or emotionally, no matter how down you may be, she says just get up off the couch and go do something for someone else and you will be on your way to feeling better!
Diane is a wonderful leader. She is leading from right where she is, in her small home making quilt after quilt. Her attitude and accomplishments are inspirational for all of us.
Questions to ponder: What "inconveniences" am I allowing to slow me down? How would perceiving them as inconveniences, instead of as problems or something worse, enable me to better master them?
