This is a great, great moment in your life! You have just entered into one of the few sites that will allow people with disabilities/challenges to communicate, learn, laugh, cry, hope and dream with each other!
Whatever our disability(differently-abled)-challenge is, it is NOT, the verdict in OUR lives! We are ALL alive and well! We will NOT stop living and advancing because of the challenges in our life!
On May 3, 2002, While driving I was struck by a hit-and-run driver. The impact was so hard that I was ejected out of the passenger’s window of my car! I immediately went air borne a little over 50 feet! I landed on my head. I was on life support for 2 1/2 weeks. Today, I live with a brain injury. “Having a brain injury does not mean that I am brain dead!” Life and living goes on!
I am also a survivor of being molested and raped. The person who did this deplorable act to me, signed my birth certificate as “Father of Child.”
I made a promise to my God and to myself that if my God let’s me back on earth. I WILL DO GOD’S WILL! I WILL DO WHATEVER IS ASK OF ME TO DO! I now have a purpose in life.........My proclamation is to help, serve, stand up for the advancement of my disabled/challenged brothers and sisters and children! We do need better laws to protect us! Laws that allows for better accessible entrances in some buildings. I AM YOUR ADVOCATE! THIS IS MY MOVEMENT!!!...I have made personal revisions in my life to get the job done!
Y-E-S, “A Change Has Come Over Me.” Today, my life is joyful, happy and more productive than it’s ever been, because I have accepted that I have a challenge/disability. I have also accepted the fact that I can not control the way another person has treated me in my life, but, I can control the way I treat myself and others. I have also allowed myself to cry when I hurt, get angry when I am mad (not get even)...These emotions are needed on our journey. It does not mean that we are weak, but crying allows us to love ourselves , love others and finally be free of such hurts and pains. While on my journey, I have found peace inside of myself-I am my tall glass of refreshing water all day-everyday long. I like, love and adore myself and I will continue to “Hold On” to God’s grace, goodness and mercy. In the year of 2006 I was Oprah’s International Chairperson for the disabled for Oprah’s run to win the Nobel Peace Prize (under Rocky Twyman , Director of Oprah 4 Nobel Peace Prize). I will continue to fight for Oprah to win such a deserving award. I am also writing my autobiography. My goal(s) is to have the writing completed by the year 2008. I am also working on recording inspirational/motivational CDs. Stay tuned for more things to come in the future. If you want to keep track to see whatever I am doing just Google my name, Chandra Leigh Brown.

UPWARD WORDS
01/03/2009
Remember that sunset…
... the most vivid day’s end you’ve ever seen. You may have been at the top of a
mountain, or simply sitting in a lawn chair on your back deck; holding hands with
your loved one, or blissfully alone. Let this small treasure from sometime past
become a gem to brighten your present. Be there now, the flamboyant hues painting
the sky, and feel the satisfaction of another day well done…

From Perhaps to Possible
12/28/2008
You may feel joyful and elated as wonderful surprises come your way today. Because these events put you in a great mood, you may want to direct some of your positive energy to jumpstarting the creative process on your personal endeavors. One good way to do this is by allowing your imagination to call forth the results you desire. Simply find a quiet place to think about one specific outcome you would like to create in your life you may also want to purchase a poster board and write down what you would like to create in your life-your life plan, for this coming year. Insert as much detail into this vision as you can today, taking care not to limit your ideas or hold yourself back by settling for what you believe is possible. Instead, let your thoughts grow and expand on this idea, and allow your joyful emotions to grow stronger and more powerful. Then release your intention to the universe and ask your higher power for guidance in making it happen.
By using the power of thought and emotion, we give life to the visions we hold in our hearts. We may have limited success in manifesting our intentions because they exist only as vague ideas in our minds. By taking time to build on-build upon these ideas and endow them with rich detail and vibrant emotional energy, we fill them with strength and power. If we also consciously release our intentions to the universe once they are fully formed, we are, in effect, inviting the universe to work with us in bringing them into reality. Applying your joyful mood to the creation of your dreams today can provide the fuel that propels them from perhaps to possible.

NEW YORK - Singer and actress Eartha Kitt has died of colon cancer at age 81, her longtime publicist Patty Freedman told NBC News on Thursday.
Kitt died in Connecticut with her daughter by her side.
Kitt was a star of Broadway, records and films; she even played Catwoman in the Batman television show in the 1960s. One of her hit songs was the campy Christmas song “Santa Baby.” She spoke out against the Vietnam War at a White House luncheon in 1968.
