Welcome Mama and Papa Terapeuta!

I love your nicknames! I am sure there are many parents of children with disabilities who also feel like a therapist of one sort or another.

Thank you for your kind words. My reason for sharing my story in my autobiography I’ll Do It Myself and here on my blog is to help others who facing similar situations; and to offer hope. Your words show me that I am accomplishing my purpose. Thank you.

And yes, feel free to translate the “What’s In A Word” article. All that I ask is that you credit the original publication and, if possible, you send a copy or the link if it it’s available online.

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Glenda, I’ll try and write a better translation of my wife’s words. Here it is:

Browsing the internet I found a blog called ‘Do It Myself’ whose author, Glenda Watson Hyatt, was born with cerebral palsy. The (blog’s) name already says a lot.
I prefer to let the blog speak for it self and let you enjoy this woman that has caused certain commotion. I also want to recommend an article he wrote about the language of disability. (then there is a link to ‘What’s in a word’)

Thanks for writing Glenda, you are indeed inspiring.

Hi, Glenda!
Yes, I linked your blog a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t say much on my post, but a really loved reading you. As a mother of a youg girl with cerebral palsy, it’s inspiring to see a grown woman that has gone so far.
I’m a linguist, so I particulary enjoyed your article “What is in a word”. If you allow me to, I’d like to translate it to spanish. I’m much better reading than writing in english.

Hope to hear again from you. Warm regards,

Mama terapeuta. (Mother-therapist)

Incredible! Inspiring! Even one thumb is good enough to tell the words that are capable of touching the hearts of the millions.

Thanks

You know what, Glenda? I’ve SEEN your tour talked about, too! Have “virtual book tours” in google alerts and you’re still popping up! Hey, are you interested in writing this up as a guest column and let me post it at my blog? I’m just in awe of you, you know that! My email address is thewriterslife@yahoo.com.

Your welcome, Glenda! I really enjoyed reading your interviews and about all the places you “traveled” to. Great job.
