This podcast is a mixture of the lessons that I have learned in church and the lessons that I have learned from this life God has given me

Yesterday at church Access didn't pick me up. They said there was a "delay" I get that the world cup is popular and should be respected but the scheduling yesterday was ridiculous

My sisters and I were talking this morning over coffee about the importance of hanging out at church and the fact that we don't often intentionally make time to do that. but it is important so start hanging out with your church family

Today was my last class before Rollette's Experience. I recorded this episode before class. thank you Miss Lindsay for the amazing solo lesson

I thought it was the perfect time of year to reshare this episode and my past experiences for those who are attending this year's Rollettes experience

correcting something I said yesterday about amy landino's mentorship group

Amy Landino is an awesome thought leader on YouTube and Instagram. she taught me everything she knows about making videos and showing up consistently. I have been following her since 2018 and I would suggest that you do the same. she is starting a new mentorship program called role modelcontact her for details https://www.instagram.com/schmittastic?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

This is the first message in our summer sermon series called at the movies Comfort, comfort my people,says your God.2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,and proclaim to herthat her hard service has been completed,that her sin has been paid for,that she has received from the Lord's handdouble for all her sins.3 A voice of one calling:“In the wilderness preparethe way for the Lord[a];make straight in the deserta highway for our God.[b]4 Every valley shall be raised up,every mountain and hill made low;the rough ground shall become level,the rugged places a plain.5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,and all people will see it together.For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”- Colossians 3:1-4Memory verseGalatians 2 verse 20 I have been crucified with Christ and no longer live, but Christ lives in me. the life I live in the body. I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

I'm practicing this talk again in hopes of making it my signature talk.

Talking about My sister and Friends podcast, pushing forward with Alycia and our sister, Ali Stroker, who was the guest yesterday.

This is my first attempt at advocating for better treatment of people with disabilities in doctors' offices. I recently had to go to urgent care and was not able to be properly examined because of the height of the examination table

language change should be a two-way street when speaking about communities that includes the disabled community and the non-disabled. please stop using the word able-bodied to describe somebody who seemingly does not have a disability.

Thank you so much for listening to the show. it means the world to me

Today is international wheelchair Day. I've only taken pride in my disability for the past 5 years. Even though I've lived with my disability my whole life it's been hard to see the beauty in it because so many people ask questions that are inappropriate or questions in general at inappropriate times. now that I am comfortable everybody that I am a good Roll Model for others with disabilities
