Sun-Beams is a collection of links to stories, articles, photos, or videos I have come across that I believe will inspire, inform, or encourage you, as well as my favorite photo posted on my other blog, Violet Film, from the past week.
In Their Shoes: The Cerebral Palsy Doctor With Cerebral Palsy – We’ve had some wonderful doctors over the years, but never one who truly “got it” like this woman.
Actress/Screenwriter Sally Phillips: A Down’s Child is a Blessing, Not a Tragedy – I’m willing to bet you’ve heard Down syndrome described exactly like this comedic actress does.
Cerebral Palsy doesn’t deter Adam Sahmel from his dream to be the best amateur putter around – ““When I first started playing, a lot of the guys looked like they felt sorry for me. They babied me, almost. Now I’m just one of the guys, which is why I play. I’m treated as an equal – they’re there to win just like I am, no difference.”
Parents share joy as five-year-old girl with Down’s Syndrome becomes child model – Yet another child model story. Maybe I need to find Nathan an agent!
Parents sue hospital over wrong diagnosis of Down syndrome – And this, my friends, is one reason why it seems like doctors are working against us…

Oh I loved that actresses description and it made me laugh out loud when she said that he climbed onstage- I could see my daughter doing that (if I wasn’t already waiting and ready for it). Oh and that Dr story- scary isn’t it?
Not that I think it’s all peaches and cream of course but I can relate to the one side of it. If I didn’t laugh at some of her antics I’d have to be embarrassed 🙂
Do you know that I just went back and read all of the comments from your KH post!? LOL.
I think you insulted the pope, Oprah and Mother Teresa! I personally know that these are ALL good people but they all annoy me for, perhaps just that, the pedestal they are preserved upon. I never was one for fan club folks. Uh oh- I might attract nasty comments 🙂
Hah- it was a worthwhile investment of time to read them.
OK, you totally need to get Sarah Kate a helmet with the ponytail hole in the back!!! Reece had a pink one when she played baseball and it’s just too cute! Or maybe SK is too old to want to be ‘cute’? LOL
