Day 1: Scrapping

Day 2: Scrapping/Priming/Washing/Cocking

Day 3: Paint Coat #1

Day 4: Paint Coat #2

The weather was suppose to be nice out, but one day it was around 35 all day which in the shave with a metal/plastic gun like above your hands freeze fast! Many hot chocolate breaks were taken but between everyone we surely got the job done! What an experience. I can't imagine after hurricane Katrina people doing this kind of work all by themselves. I'm sure many people did, but wow- I truly underestimated how much effort goes into "painting 1 house." A humbling experience.

Hello again! Long time no talk?

Updating my blog often is not as habitual as I would like, however here I am given a quick catch up. On June 8th, 2014 I graduated from Poland Regional High school and let me just say it was quite a relief to finally be done these last four years. It was like that of a marathon, the last leg of the race that seemed to continue on forever. I'd been impatient with life for who knew where I was going, or where the heck I'd even end up. The last month of high school was one of the most challenging, but with a few close friends tightly by my side I made it through. "Don't wish away high school, when you're finished you'll want to go back. Experience it all." Advice I heard continuously from elders, much wiser for a reason. Yet as I finished my last real day of high school emotions ran high. Four years of ups and downs, highs and lows that seemed to feel like a r...

Costa Rica

In February of 2012 I had an amazing opportunity to travel to Los Anonos, Costa Rica for my first mission trip. God changed my heart here. For 10 days a group of us from the Mechanic Falls Vineyard traveled done to love on those in the community. Together a lot was achieved. Hand in hang with the youth there we held an eye glass clinic in Jasmine (my personal favorite part of the trip) & also the males from our group went and played futbol with men in a rehab program. In addition we were involved in prayer walks, youth group and the regular Sunday service. I love everything about the Latin America culture. God's spirit flowed through this community, it was so peaceful unlike any other place I had ever been. My heart truly longs to be back in Costa Rica with these people whom I connected so well with. Here are just a few pictures of the views and houses of people.

Accommodations for a Psychiatric Disability Within Employment

(http://nodifferentthanyou.blogspot.com/2013/08/stigma-defintiion.html) What are some employment needs for an individual with a psychiatric disability? Many individuals live successful lives with psychiatric or physical disabilities. In fact, thanks to Title 1 of the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, individuals are protected from being discriminated against while applying for jobs during hiring, firing, compensation as well as job training (Employment, Title I, 2015). In essence under the law there is no reason as to why individuals with disabilities can not be a successful employee. There are many ways in which an employer can help to accommodate an individual with a psychiatric disability. Many of these accommodations include a flexible schedule, modifying training material or equipment, or an extra supportive person to help as an accountability partner (Enforcement Guidance, 2002). A simple, yet crucial tool is to continue communication...
