#139 - How Disability Shifts Perspectives

The process of changing your worldview is never easy. Introspection is not often a comfortable process, but then again, change never really is for many of us, and yet it’s change that keeps us growing, keeps us living. If you’ve ever experienced a transformation of perspective, you know what it can be like to reflect, channel empathy and even feel a little embarrassment for your past self. Don’t go it alone. Join Louise in her journey of how disability shifted her perspective from Baltimore to Shepherd, to Disneyworld and back again, all in under 48 hours. Follow along on the flight of a lifetime, as told by Louise’s Personal Journal Notes and a Family and Friends Update. You also won’t want to miss a special gift and why it was such a surprise from a litigation lawyer.

In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:

Judy Condliffe, an attorney mediator in Baltimore, MD who had attended Louise’s 40 Hour Certified Mediation Courses many years before Archer’s injury as a tough litigation lawyer turned mediator who gifted Louise a hand-made, knitted blanket when she heard the news. Judy, a professed Atheist had knitted into the blanket for Louise the “Archer Strong” letters, a row of hearts, a row of crosses. Listen in to Judy and Louise’s subsequent conversation about faith, art and goodness for a touching moment of inclusivity and connectedness for all of us.
