A Day in the Life: Sarah's Journey

Writing helps me to share my views as well as become an outlet for me on an emotional and psychological level. I am a woman with a physical disability and as a person with a disability, it can often be a challenge to have a voice in society. Writing gives me a voice that allows me to share my experiences that will hopefully in turn help others. I found it almost impossible to write for a while, but now realise this is exactly when I should have been writing the most. I am going to try and explain some of the reasons I stopped writing and then discuss why I now realise I should have continued to write all along. October 2015 my life started down a road that there was no stopping and turning around on. I had been unhappy in my marriage for some time, as the years progressed it became evident that we wanted different things. I had always said that I didn't want children, not because of my disability but just because I enjoyed my freedom, wanted to see the world and didn't see a ch...

As a relatively new member of the Green Party I have continued to educate myself on what the party I have chosen to affiliate to stands for, although I have known the importance of understanding politics and the active participation in debate for many years this is the first Political Party that I have affiliated to.

  Thank you for visiting my blog. Please read on for further information about me. I hope you gain value from the blog. If you would like me to write about my experience of a specific issue then please let me know.  I am a full-time wheelchair user and have found getting suitable jobs for my needs can be a challenge; This has always led me to feel that there is more out there and that I have much more to give to this world. I aspire to become my own boss, allowing me to write and inspire others daily. I want to show that just because I have a disability, I am more than capable and worthy of success. I enjoy Scuba Diving and can’t wait to do more; I link this into travel as well as I am also a keen traveller who always want to experience more of what this world has to offer. My dream is to inspire others through my words and my experiences. I have always enjoyed writing and find it a therapeutic process for myself but also knowing that there is somebody else benefiting from my ...
