Rags to Riches: Part 2
Thanks for reading my first Saturday Story: Rags to Riches. The below is Part 2; if you haven’t read Part 1, please find it here.

Part 2:
She was dressed in a sharp, midnight blue suit and black suede heels (an ensemble that probably cost more than what I used to spend on rent for many months combined). “Congratulations, Ms. Bruno,” the real estate agent said as she smiled, handing me my keys.
“Thank you, Ms. Pierce,” I said, accepting the keys.
I couldn’t believe that this was my life. I stood back to take it all in; to admire my new… house? No. Not a house. It’s a mansion. A sprawling estate on perfectly manicured grounds that seemed to go for miles. Life really can change in an instant, I mused.
Wheelchair accessible routes via Google Maps
Google Maps is now providing wheelchair accessible routes in a few major cities. From what I’ve read, this service is not yet available in any major Canadian city (it’s only available in: London, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Boston, and Sydney); I’m sure our day will come. (People have been able to add accessibility information to locations via Google Maps for some time, but this is the first time people can request routes that are wheelchair accessible.)

Blogging Experiment, Part 2: The Saturday Story
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
In my post honouring the late Dr. Stephen Hawking titled, “The Unlimited Spirit,” I chronicled my own mobility issues, and pledged that I would include more of my own thoughts, opinions and experiences in my future blog posts (The Blogging Experiment, Part 1: Blogging Honestly). I promised to add Part 2 of my Blogging Experiment this weekend, so I give you:

The Mighty, comment
I read an enlightening article on The Mighty yesterday. It is titled, “Schools Aren’t Preparing Students With Disabilities for Active Shooting Scenarios.”
I was compelled to comment (text below image):
The Unlimited Spirit
Today is Pi Day (3/14/2018). Unfortunately, it is also the day that we lost one of the greatest minds of all time; Rest In Peace, Dr. Stephen Hawking.
I’ve been contemplating writing this blog post- which demands a high degree of honesty, introspection and vulnerability- for about one week now. I am not a mathematician or physicist by any stretch of the imagination, but the way that Dr. Hawking defied medical expertise of the time and achieved greatness, while making such astounding contributions to the understanding and study of physics has inspired me.
If you’ve read my ‘About Me‘ page, you know that I run my own business (The Write Results). I love writing; fortunately, I also love working with people. I always have. I enjoy learning about different industries and brands. For my chosen profession, these traits serve me well. The catch? My work life (though it takes up the vast majority of my time, which I would not change) is only one relatively small aspect of who I am.
