Host/DJ Ability : Welcome to Ability Anyware Radio, a disability advocacy podcast.
Today is January 20, 2020. On this glorious day, we're celebrating
Martin Luther King Day and the International Day of Acceptance.
Both of these events are perfectly aligned.
Dr. Martin Luther King once said:
"People are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality."
Stop and reflect on that for a moment. It's quite profound and
also embodied in the following is message from 3ELove. Please share
it with others and encourage them to participate this special day with
commemorative tweets that exemplify acceptance. Your tweets could include
words of wisdom, photos, videos, sound bites or any other multimedia. And it doesn’t just have to
be solely for today. You can do it throughout the year to show the beautiful neurodiversity in our community.
The International Day of Acceptance is a day dedicated to
social acceptance of disability, and to honor the late Annie Hopkins,
founder of 3ELove and creator of the international Symbol of Acceptance.
This logo is a person moving in a heart shaped wheelchair with the words
“Embrace Diversity” + "January 20th”+ “International Day of Acceptance.”
Tell the world you embrace who you are, a person with social rights,
who has an opinion, who has interests, who has goals and who loves life.
You are a person who is empowered to make a difference in the world and will
not be without a voice in society. You are not living disabled. You are living.
Tell the world that you are accepting of people with disabilities.
As our parents, siblings, relatives, spouses, children, lovers, coworkers,
teachers, personal assistants, friends, and anyone else-you also have a role
in our culture and life. You can start change by demonstrating acceptance and
showing the world that you embrace people of all abilities.
3ELove stands for Embrace. Educate. Empower. Love Life.

This a shout to Billy Joel, thanks for sharing this lovely song with the
world. It is so meaningful to us. It's such a beautiful experience listening
to it or reading the lyrics.

Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times; I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
That was "Just the Way You Are" by one of our favorite artists, Billy Joel.
