Hi, this is Heather Watkins answering the question of what or whom
inspires me and to that I can say that waking up on a daily basis
and knowing that I have the power
to effect change in some great or small way
by making empowered choices that will affect and hopefully be beneficial to those around me
is certainly a yummy prospect and
something I get out of bed for in the morning in pursuit of my best self.
As a person with a disability,
there are certainly aspects of my life that are limited however in choosing to interpret
my experience of having a disability
I know it
to be a detail and not the definition of who I am
that certainly is a motivating factor and
keeps me moving forward
and I have to saying it has been the catalyst for my advocacy
so, in short
my inspiration is knowing that I can affect change, thank you.
