“There comes a moment when my heart must stand alone,
On this lonely path I’ve chosen
Like a house that’s not a home.
Sometimes when I feel I’ve had enough
And I feel like giving up,
You willed me to be all I can be
Now nothing can stop me.”

“I Believe,” by Nikki Yanofsky

“I learned there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead, others come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me.”

Dr. Seuss

The 2014 Sochi Olympics are well underway and Team Canada has shown an amazing performance thus far!  During the Olympics, it seems the entire world is tuned in to support and be inspired by their country and its individual athletes.  With so much hype and coverage of the Olympics it can be hard to remember that just one month after the Paralympic Games will also be played in Sochi.  This year there will be more media coverage of the Paralympic games than there has been in the past.  So please, remember to tune in and support our athletes – all athletes.  As the following ad says “it’s not what’s missing… it’s what’s there.”

“I will break these chains that bind me happiness will find me,
Leave that past behind me today my life begins.”

“Today My Life Begins” by Bruno Mars
