Feeling
Fabulous Friday!
Sometimes we all need to be reminded of what
truly defines us as individuals. We are unique and amazing because of our
spirit. How we choose to overcome our challenges sets us apart from others.
These decisions give us confidence and make us great.
Today we at Easter Seals are feeling fabulous
because we are inspired by a young lady named Alexis Wineman. Alexis Wineman
was diagnosed with autism at age 11. Last year she won the title of Miss
Montana and recently went on to reach the top 15 in the Miss America Pageant.
Her achievements are admirable; her challenges
are compelling. Yet, it is a combination of her compassion, genuine nature,
resilience and positive attitude that truly makes Alexis the wonderful young
woman the country has come to love.
We want to share some of her own words today…
“My path may not
be one that another person would choose, but I challenged myself to enter the
Miss America competition because it seemed like the peak to my own personal
Everest.”
~ Alexis Wineman
“I don't know
what tomorrow will bring, but I do know there is a lot for me to do to make
sure people really get that ‘Normal is just a dryer setting’."
~ Alexis Wineman
Wishing everyone a fabulous Friday!
