I suspect that sometimes, the real impact isn't felt right away. Time to think, review and try out new ideas. Thank-you very much for the opportunity.Princeton Possenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-26907989547653259462012-08-09T10:22:24.059-04:002012-08-09T10:22:24.059-04:00Off topic here, but I added a comment to yesterday...Off topic here, but I added a comment to yesterdays post in reaction to some of the other comments there.

As a person with a lifelong disability that has gradually lessened my physical ability, I have watched with anthropological interest your intellectual and emotional growth in your understanding of disability. And as you have written I see your eyes opening wider and your jaw dropping lower and your indignation and anger grow as well.<br /><br />Your post the other day Presto Change was one I especially loved. Welcome, and yeah it doesn't hurt if you don't listen to "them" and their opinions about you lol.Gleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17671758996746410949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-32249299506619882422012-08-09T07:40:52.507-04:002012-08-09T07:40:52.507-04:00As a fellow speaker, I can't deny that feedbac...As a fellow speaker, I can't deny that feedback and getting ovations are nice...however the best part of doing the work we do, at least when presenting to crowds, particularly Direct Support Professionals, comes after the presentation is completed and people come to share. Often it is similar stuff....the message hits home and people have ephiphanies and people get validated for who they are etc...very similar to what you experienced after this plenary. It is at that point I realize the power of the message, the mission and that the messenger (me) is a vehicle. It may sound weird but the day I do what I do presentations and public speaking for soley ovations and self-praise and my experience..that will be the day I stop public speaking.
