On Day 14 we talked about one of my heroes that is both deaf and blind, Helen Keller. I love the "water" scene in the older movie about Helen Keller with Patty Duke as Helen. It is a little eye-opening for five year-olds, but we quickly moved to the excitement of watching Helen learn a way to communicate and open up her world. The kids tried signing in each other's hands. It wasn't quite as easy as they thought it would be!
Later in the morning one of my sweet friends came to share her wonderful business with us, "Katie's Snack Cart." I met Katie when she was two and now she is a beautiful woman in her early 20's. Katie was born with a developmental delay and an intellectual impairment. Katie loves life and uses her talents to serve quality and healthy snacks to a variety of businesses. Her mother, Wendy, is an innovative and supportive president of Katie's Cart. They both work together as a beautiful mother/daugther team!
