\nI was fortunate to meet a very inspirational young woman at Blogher. \u00a0Laurita Tellado has a blog called Holdin Out For A Hero.<\/a> Her mission is to bring awareness to those that have Spina Bifida. We connected right away and took the opportunity to video her to help support her cause.<\/p>\n

I have been so busy since I came back from Blogher and finally got to my video clips this weekend. Luckily, I was able to listen to her again and realized that the one year anniversary of her blog is today! \u00a0So I am happy to share this \u00a0because Laurita inspired me so much. Her smile and energy is contagious.<\/p>\n

When I was a freshman in high school, \u00a0I met Beki, who was to become my best friend for life. \u00a0At 12 years old, she was wearing a body brace due to severe scoliosis. She had to wear that bulky body brace 24\/7. After 3 years of knowing her, she came up to me at school one day with a big smile asking me if I noticed anything different. I looked and looked without “seeing” \u00a0any change. Finally, after a couple of minutes, she burst out that she no longer had the brace. It was so strange. I never paid attention to the body brace. She was just Beki, my fun loving silly friend.<\/p>\n

Laurita is that kind of person, and even more. After you hang out with her for a few days, her radiance is much bigger than her disability. Unfortunately, Laurita cannot take away the condition that she was born with. But I do believe that God gives us challenges for a reason and I know in my heart that, at her young age, she will accomplish many milestones in her life.<\/p>\n

She just graduated from College with a Bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I wish her the best in her dream of finding a sponsor to support her cause. \u00a0She has been blogging every day for one entire year, 365 posts. Now that is dedication and passion! Congratulations Laurita!..xoxo.<\/p>\n

If you know of anyone to help her with her dream, give her a shout out on Twitter @laurita86<\/a><\/p>\n

I interviewed her in Spanish too and the post will be coming right up. I’m going to share right now that the clock ticked past midnight – August 29th, Laurita’s 1 yr blog anniversary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
