You've been diagnosed with an illness that impacts your ability to work, play and thrive.

You're overwhelmed by the prospect of doctors, employment issues, new expenses, loss of income and the mountains of paperwork standing between you and your benefits.

You're not alone.  We know what you're facing and we will show you the best way to navigate these new challenges.

The Disability Key blog and the Disability Key Website are designed to assist each person in his/her own unique quest to navigate through the difficult and often conflicting and misleading information about coping with a disability.

Carolyn Magura, noted disability expert, has written an e-Book documenting the process that allowed her to:

a) continue to work and receive her “full salary” while on Long Term Disability; and

b) become the first person in her State to qualify for Social Security Disability the FIRST TIME, in UNDER 30 DAYS.

Disability Honesty: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006!!!

Can you believe that 2006 is here? I am not sure where 2005 disappeared, but I look at my new calendar for 2006 and relish in the pictures of my intelligent, charming, captivating granddaughter, I realize that the new year is, indeed, upon us.

If you have been wondering why the postings to this site have been VERY rare in the later months of 2005, I recognize that I am a person with disabilities who really wants to model my beliefs for all of you that I am talking to. I recognize that I have to be honest first to myself, and then to all of you. It is not acceptable to me to just "talk the talk"; I also need to "walk the walk".

So, the end of 2005 found me moving, recovering from the move and the resulting illnesses and MAJOR FATIGUE; then came the holidays, and I wanted to really enjoy my time with family and friends. And, I discovered that I needed to work on my faith and ensure that I was providing guidance and wisdom for the "right" reasons. All of these introspective activities took me through the end of 2005. VERY HARD FOR A DIED-IN-THE-WOOL EXTROVERT!!!

Here it is 2006 and I feel that I finally am ready to continue blogging this blog and the one about Disability and the Workplace.

Here are some of the highlights to come:
  • Results of the 2006 Paul G. Hearne/AAPD Award;
  • Results feedback from those who have actually taken the advice in these blogs;
  • Steps I will be taking to further education of others;
  • How I personally am modeling my advice (particularly the part about taking responsibility for my own health care); etc.

I welcome advice and questions from you, readers. How has your journey been; how are you doing.

KEEP TUNED, and please, if you want, comment on this blog with your ideas and/or questions.
