 Thursday, February 24, 2005 Let's elevate our self-expectations. We can start with two fundamental questions:"What is possible?" "What do we want?" Both questions are good for the mind, but after the amazing show of support I've received following the nationwide broadcast of the documentary, I've decided to focus exclusively on the second question. No longer will I limit myself to the confines of what I perceive outside forces will allow me to have in life. From now on, I will consider myself the authority on my dreams and my realities. I realize now that anything is possible. So the question to answer is, "What do I want?" I encourage you to do the same. I encourage you to believe that your dreams are within reach. Empowered by that belief, and mixed with discipline, hard work and encouragment, eventually, you'll get there. I'm not there yet, but I can see the goal line from here. It is very exciting. What do I want? My own syndicated television talk show is as real as the folder I created and put on my desk with the words "TV Show" scribbled on the tab. I received a call from a network television producer who saw Joanne's film and believes that the mix of characteristics that combine to create my identity put me in a unique position to do cutting edge television. And (to my base) can you imagine the impact a syndicated television show can have for all aspects of disability culture? So you grab the remote and you flip on "The Strength Coach." What do you see? What is the set like? Who are the guests? What are the topics? What kind of inforamation are you getting? What kinds of emotions do you feel as you watch this new hit show? I have ideas, but I'm seeking to plug into the collective wisdom.
