Re: Judy - Artists With Disabilities

[Guest guest]

Thanks Gretchen!

I have a quick question. I was thinking that I might like to start a

'group' for film/video/multimedia, etc - let's just say 'mediamakers

with disabilities.' Was it difficult to get up and running?

Thanks for ALL your help regarding my film. I have received so many

letters from people telling me that 'I' am an inspiration to them. It

makes me feel good. One of my philosophies is " go to your destiny... "

kinda " Forrest Gump-ish, " I know, but I have ALWAYS known what I wanted

to do, what my goals were, but I feel reading the emails I received,

it's like I'm inspiring people, I don't know, by just doing what I need

to to...It's an INCREDIBLE feeling. I'm sure you have the same feeling

knowing that is helping SO many people. I'm going to check out

the link you sent.

take good care,

Lots of love AND respect,

Judy g.
