hope to see you there!!! A lot of people are putting a lot of hard work and sleepless nights into this project...



and PS.... I have new videos coming up...a holiday make-up look and a I take you on a special adventure!!!!

sometimes our thinking is more disabled than our bodies

sometimes when we feel discouraged, hopeless, or like giving up....
something comes along, that will change or thoughts and heart....

Oscar Loreto, who's in the picture above...and who filmed and edited the video below, was born without hands and the lower portion of his left leg. He is a hero and inspiration...with so many things, seeming to say, "you can't"...he's made it in the world saying, "I can!"....

We've all felt like the road before us is too hard, and I've made small things seem hugely, impossible, then I listen as Oscar tells me, it can take him up to 15 minutes just to tie his shoe, I realize how small my thinking has been. He's accomplished so much, without even thinking that it would be hard, or "he can't". Oscar is kind, funny, has an captivating personality, and a great laugh...and his story will move you heart into a new level of hope! Thank you Oscar!

I am honored to share with you the inspiration of the , ENABLED PROJECT...a hope filled, collection of images, by Ian Ruhter, with amazing stories that will remind you, "You are ABLE to do anything!"....and that our disabled thoughts are the only limitations that we have.

I will be there and I hope you will too!

huge love and heaps of hope, kandee

when you feel you can't.....

(This is my new friend, Oscar, skating. But what you may not see in this photo, is that he doesn't have a left foot to put on the board, and he is missing what we take for granted everyday, both of our hands!)
how many times a day do you grab things with your hands a day? Pulling the blankets off you in the morning...brushing your teeth...turning the doorknob in your room....and the list goes on.....

Oscar was born without his hands, and a left foot and lower portion of his leg.....but what he can do with determination in his mind...won't stop him from anything...even if it means some mornings it takes him 15 minutes to tie the laces on his shoe...

I had the most amazing interview with Oscar...his story sets every thought that tells you, "it's too hard or impossible"....free to fly out the door and fills you with the hope that....in this life, there may be obstacles....but NOTHING...., no disability of your body or disability in your thinking, needs to ever stop you from doing what you were created to do!

I did an interview with Oscar (just wait...he's an incredible, inspiring, and sweet human being!), and with my good friend, Ian Ruhter , who has been working on his art & inspiration project, called ENABLED...which shows your heart and mind...the incredible stories of some (what society calls "disabled") of the most enabled and inspiring people.

These people were born with missing limbs, went through horrific accidents, or suffered illnesses that took away their limbs....but they have done more than the average person...without waivering!

Ian is an amazing photographer, that shoots for world famous brands...he has devoted his heart and energy to this project (to bring hope, awareness, and inspiration to a world that's in need of a little "enabling of your dreams"). He has poured his own saving into this, and is ready to show you this amazing story of hope...

Watch tomorrow for the interview....(on youtube)...and the invite to come and have your heart changed beyond belief at the premiere of the art show with me.....

may your hearts and hopes soar to the moon, huge love, kandee
