It happens. Creatures and critters of all shapes and sizes are guaranteed to get into something that you don't want them to and your garden is the perfect place to have this happen. When creating, and maintaining your garden area, remember that what looks good to you is going to look absolutely yummy to a number of other creatures too.

The Internet: Opening Doors for the Disabled 

Me: Sometimes I feel almost normal. Sometimes I think that I can do almost anything. That is till the illness flare up hits me once again and I am sent whining off to bed for a day or two, a week or two, or a month or two. The length of time for healing depending on the severity of each current flare. I've learned that the only way to get well is to give in, stop everything and rest till the illness lets me live again. 

This unfortunately makes living a normal life very difficult. Most aspects of life don't like being put on hold indefinitely and with each flare up I found myself losing more and more of the life that I had strived so hard to create. After each flare I would begin my life anew and I would try harder to find something that I felt I could do that my illness could not take away from me. But my illness always got the better of me, that is until, the internet opened doors that I wasn't able to.

When the opportunity to open a store where the products magically moved themselves from point A to point B presented itself to me, I just knew, I had to check the world of internet sales out. The more that I investigated; the more excited I became. I could hardly wait to get a site up and running. I have always loved antiques and for years have been a collector of almost any that I could discover at flea markets or garage sales. So the thought of having my own store and being able to deal in nostalgia items was very exciting to me. I was thrilled to once again have the chance to enter the world of retail and could hardly wait to start filling the shelves in my new store.

 Enjoy your visit and I hope you'll drop in again. Also be sure to check out my other storefronts:

As for me, I have adapted to living a  modified  lifestyle to suit my illness. I have incorporated numerous alternative therapies into my life and although I am not cured, I can usually now live comfortably within my illness. Extreme fatigue is a major issue with my illness so this is one of the areas in my life that I have had to work around. Living an alternative lifestyle affords me the extra energy that I need to truly enjoy my life.

If it were not for the freedom that the internet allows me: I would not have the opportunities or choices that I now have.

The internet is opening doors for the disabled that in the past seemed permanently closed. We now have access to education, training, social opportunities and even employment that in the past, was unattainable. The internet is removing physical restraints by bringing the world to us and this is opening new doors and a new world of opportunities for special needs individuals. ......read more
