My Reign Is Over But My Disability Advocacy Continues

Yesterday at church a woman walked up to me I had not seen in long time.. She said, ” You are  Ms.Wheelchair California  aren’t  you?

“I was last year” I replied. They crowned a new one in January.”

There I was at church  minding my own business wearing my usual church clothes (not my Ms Wheelchair California 2015 sash and tiara) yet still being recognized as Ms Wheelchair California 2015 It seemed strange until Ms Wheelchair California 2013 Margarita Elizondo’s words came to mind, ” Your reign may have been short , but Ms Wheelchair California 2015 is a title you’ll have for the rest of your life.

As my friend and mentor Joni Eareckson Tada wrote in her blog,” Hillary’s reign as Ms Wheelchair California has come to an end, but her disability advocacy continues.”

This week I have another LA Care CCI Council meeting and the Statewide Disability Conference.
