Hi Rachel, followed your tweet over here - I’m intrigued. Are you interested in hearing from high achievers with mental disabilities? If so drop me a line/DM me on twitter (agnieszkasshoes).

Hello Rachel! It’s been awhile since I’ve visited but wanted to share my thoughts on your thoughts…. I agree with you, with people like us that have physical challenges (me with a back injury) it is more often that our beliefs and mental programming are often just as limiting as the challenge itself. I have learned a way to work with my brain, deleting the negative and unhelpful things like “limiting beliefs” (what I call “those “facts” that say things like “I can’t, I won’t, I don’t and I’ll never…”) You are an inspiration to me and I enjoy hearing your point of view… Have a Great Day!!!!

From one critical thinker to another, Great article! I am always challenging my friends and students to look at information and problems from different perspectives. I will be using this article as a demonstration of just why we should question what we hear and often see (if we can).

Comment on Winston Churchill said: “If you are going through hell, keep going.” by Izzi

I’m just about to take another step through hell and leave my abusive partner. A man who said he’d love me till death, although I didn’t realise he meant he would kill me. I lost my job 6 weeks ago, have no money, he threw my 17yr old daughter out and now I have nothing. Only myself to blame. But, you are right. Tomorrow I get out, to who knows where or what, and it’s the start of something new, something different. Scary and exciting all at the same time. It may be more hell but at least its mine and not imposed on me by a vile man. Thanks.

Hi Rachel,
I’m trying again with the comment, but as I said I think this was a great little story. I’ll try to visit regularly.

Karen,
Good point. Just like I want everything visual translated into audio, you need access in the other direction. What does it take to do close caption on a YouTube video? When I start doing video, I will be sure to have transcripts or CC. I want my sites to be as accessible as possible.
Thanks for the comment,
Rachel

I’ve met some incredible people using social media and I love the way I can interact without barriers– that is, until I hit a video or audio that I can’t access. I’ve found that many are willing to accommodate with a transcript or willing to caption their videos once they realize the barrier.
