Today Cricket & I ventured into our storage room in an attempt to continue our organizing efforts (everything is a shared experience with Cricket). Well, I didn't get too far before I I found this book/cd of Helen Keller quotes. I have been enjoying listening to it (while still attempting to clean the storage room.) Helen Keller was such a remarkable woman and this book has reminded me of what a spokeswoman she was on so many topics - not just disability issues. I often think of her as a role model and a symbol of strength amongst her adversity, but it was also fun to read how she spoke out for women's rights and changing the world. She states: Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
