DurhamEnable and all it takes is sunshine:
My assistant for the day Peter, and I, did really well with the DurhamEnable reverse job fair and I have three potential opportunities all different things, podcast, acting and a disability positive employment position.
Overall I'm so glad I did this today and it gave people like myself a chance to explain things from the perspective of those they're hiring. How hard we work, how dedicated we are and how difficult it is to break down disability stigma to get paid employment.
I hope all the businesses attending consider working with DurhamEnable and together, build a more accessible and disabled confident employment base.
A huge thank you to DurhamEnable for all the hard work they do to help disabled people into permanent employment.
Today's event was exceptional and educational for all.
The sun was shining a bit later today, for the first time in a long time, and I sat outside on the grass for a bit.
Life has a weird habit of drawing you into focusing on proving yourself to others but it's pointless to even try, there's a lot of things we can't change, we owe it to ourselves to focus on what we can.
I've been meditating a lot lately and I've needed the being in nature, today, even though it was a little while out on the grass, it grounds you.
Helps you regain focus.
..and sometimes, that's all you need.
