Jon and I went to the Adoption Conference that I had posted about this past weekend. It was fantastic. I could say so many things about it but what I would rather tell you about is Saturday's keynote speaker, Meg Johnson. She is one of my new favorite people and.... I didn't even have the guts to go meet her. Jon and I both loved her talk. I told Jon that I wanted to go tell her how great it was but I had, of course, just been crying and crying listening to her and there is no doubt that would have carried right over into talking to her. Who wants that to happen? Not me. :)
She is a C-7 quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down and doesn't have the use of her hands. She is a motivational speaker and she was one of the best I have heard. She was seriously hilarious. Everyone in the audience was laughing and then crying. I have been reading her website and blog and I really am so impressed with everything about her. I just read this post to Jon and we were cracking up at the last line. I keep racking my brain for a young women event that I can have her come speak at and I can't wait to read her book.
This really deserves a better post. But, let's be honest, I've become a not so great blogger so just go check out her blog or website when you get a minute! http://www.megjohnsonspeaks.com/ http://megjohnsonspeaks.blogspot.com/
