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.
Wrestler Willie Burton grapples with cerebral palsy – Loved this: “…to measure Willie’s success in wins and losses is to miss the point. The wrestling mat is where he can be free.” But read the whole thing.
UPDATE: Willie won his first match a few days ago.
Rome restaurant serves up new attitude toward Down syndrome – Fantastic idea, and it might become a franchise!
Canadian Skier Alex Bilodeau Dedicates Gold Medal to Brother with Cerebral Palsy – Love these stories of siblings! Be sure to watch the video.
Video games, Down’s syndrome and my brother – a personal story – Never again will I feel guilty about letting Nathan play with the iPad!

Photo of the Week:
Yeah, I’m doing a terrible job of updating my photo blog these days – being sick this week just made a bad situation worse. But you know what’s not bad? The shrimp and polenta that I had last Sunday morning for brunch at my fave local restaurant, Pinzone’s – and it was all the better because I enjoyed it with great friends!
Did you see the follow-up story on Willie Burton? He won a match on senior night!!!! And I don’t think it was a gimme either.
No, I hadn’t! Looks like a “real” win! I will update the post above.
