May 16 2013: Thanks Emily for your comment. Please don't give up on your dream, a wheelchair will not impede your ability to practice medicine, in fact, your experience is exactly what is needed in the medical profession. I hope that if anyone who reads this comment and can offer you practical advice re the legal system in the USA, they can contact you directly. Stay strong, I am with you. x
Apr 2 2013: Thanks Thomas, sometimes we think things are not happening because we put a time frame on things that is to our liking. Only when we let go can we see that there is order to the universe, and all will reveal itself in good time. For me the blessing has been to completely surrender to that process, and in that way I am able to see the gifts that are here for us right now. Blessings.
Mar 26 2013: The never give up attitude is so important. Even when the goalposts shift, we can still live a life that honours our values, and that makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing and connecting James...you inspire me.
