=, #Description
---- The only thing that is real in this world is LOVE. It's what we are born of and what we leave behind. I work with TEAM ABILITIES, an agency that serves adults with special needs
I will be driving a Mercedes Convertible covered in heart created by Adults with Special Needs with a banner on each side of my car stating #OnlyLoveIsReal---- I was the "got to" girl for Public Relations - it was very profitable and very stressful. I really just got sick of everything being about making MORE MORE MORE money and dealing with egomaniacs.I worked with American Idol, The Voice, political campaigns. There truly ius just so much more to life than making money. I fell into a deep depression, tried to commit suicide and ended up in a coma for a week. Since then my life perspective has changed greatly. I am now about loving humanity, being a good steward of unconditional love. The reason I wanted them to decorate the hearts on my car is so fitting because for so many of them, the only thing they can give is their love. This is the very thing they bring out in all of us who work with them. They are the rawest, most vulnerable of humanity and yet, they bring their hearts with them every day...in our day hab program and in our group homes.
The age range is 16 to 80… But they are all like 10--year-olds!!
So many of them are wards of the State. So we know that the only hug, the only touch, the only words of praise, encouragement and affirmation will be from us. This is Love. And it is the only thing real to them, to us and to the world.
You'll be able to notice our group because I'm getting them all heart shaped sunglasses to wear to the parade!
