I honestly don't know where to begin here, being perfectly honest, bit here goes! Who am I - I am a dreamcatcher dancing in the wind. I am a teacher, biz owner, best selling author. I keep on dancing, open to catching dreams not visualized yet

I am pursuing my dreams by helping others reach their goals. By promoting an unique card service that permits sending real cards via the internet, http://www.sandysendfreecard.com. I help any business increase sales while building better relationships with clients/customers.

Born in 1948, I've lived with Cerebral Palsy (CP) since birth, using an electric wheelchair to get around. I currently live with my husband, Rod, in Central Minnesota.

I use a motorized wheelchair. I look drunk because of my involuntary movements. My speech sounds like a 45 rpm record (remember those?!) being played at 33 1/3. I was spared my intelligence, which only 40% of those affected with CP can say. For that, I'm grateful!

After college, I worked with students with disabilities as a teacher's assistant in the St. Paul, MN Schools, teaching the 3 R's and bit of independence. That experience allowed me to be Transition Coordinator with the Metropolitan Center for Independent Living. During that period in my life I wrote several independent living skills teaching manuals for the St. Paul Dept. of Education. I also was awarded the very first Governor's Victory Award in Minnesota for overcoming disability. Winners from each State received their award at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

To balance my life of advocating independence for people with disabilities at the MN Capitol and in numerous organizations, I enjoyed square dancing with the Perfect Squares for 18 years. Perfect Squares is an outgoing gregarious group of wheelchair dancers that perform exhibitions in cities throughout the US and Canada.

Living with a disability plus working for those with disabilities became a 24/7 job after 40 years. I left the big City behind to escape a hectic lifestyle and moved to the country. Living life as everyone else, I was still being faithful to my purpose of letting others see me doing everything they did. I even discovered how fun winter could be by joining the local snowmobile club riding behind my husband on snowmobile outings! I served the community as Secretary of the local Lions Club. My term was completed in June 2006, and still remain Editor for the newsletter. I just received the 2008 Melvin Jones Lion Fellow, the highest humanitarian award a club member can receive.

I thought I'd tell you why I love sending cards via this web based system! Having a disability, I can send cards independently with a few clicks of my mouse. My cards can include photos, gift cards, and colored fonts for under a buck, plus postage! Cards are stuffed, stamped and mailed for me!

Just as sending cards has changed my life, it has changed the lives of many! We have a practice of sending one unexpected card a day. One person sent a card to the organist of his church, thanking her for the beautiful music she plays each Sunday.

The next week, the organist came up to the sender of the card in tears. She explained that on the day of receiving his card, she was going to resign from organist because she was feeling no validation for all her work. Getting that card made her rip up her resignation letter! That's why I'm a sender of cards. It changed my life, and I love seeing cards change people's lives!

You want a company logo on your cards? We can do that! Want to send a campaign to all your customers? We can do that! Want your own handwriting font? We can do that, too!

My goal is to put this tool into the hands of other individuals with disabilities and non-disabled, opening new avenues for them to gain a new independence and a lot of self esteem! In this battered economy, don't we all need a boost?

Stop and think! For $400 you can start a card business and take it to where ever you want to be in life! More exciting, you can help others achieve their dreams, too!
