Day 127: Voted for a Local Hero in Honor of National Mobility Awareness Month

National Mobility Awareness Month is sponsored by The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) and "is dedicated to showing the world how people with disabilities can live active, mobile lifestyles." In celebration of National Mobility Awareness Month, the NMEDA and partners are awarding at least 4 customized wheelchair accessible vehicles to Local Heroes who have overcome the challenges of living with a disability. Today, I decided to vote for Adam Helbling. Adam was injured in a car accident in 2011 and despite his injuries and struggles with bipolar disorder and drug abuse, he earned a degree from The Ohio State University and authored a book. Adam is also a motivational speaker for schools, medical groups, accessibility design groups and TEDx OSU. Voting ends on Friday 5/9; visit mobilityawarenessmonth.com to vote for a Local Hero :)

Day 126: Joined Tomnod and Helped Search Satellite Images

I heard about Tomnod from my blogger friend Annie of Kinder by the Day . Tomnod is a website that utilizes crowdsourcing to view satellite images of the world to help solve problems. Today, I searched images to help map tornado damage in the southern and midwestern USA. Tomnod has also provided satellite intel for other disasters including the Mudslide in Washington State and the Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. Join the search today at tomnod.com :)

Day 125: Cooked Dinner for Our Friends

After a recent thunderstorm, our friends' refrigerator stopped working and they lost almost everything stored in it. Delays with service and insurance evaluations resulted in quite a few peanut butter sandwiches and restaurant meals. So today, I invited our friends over for a home-cooked meal. We enjoyed a lovely evening catching up on the day's latest news and spending a little extra time with each other :)

Day 124: Purchased a Mother's Day Card for Cancer Research

I heard about Aubrey, a 3 year old cancer patient battling Leukemia, from @thedailyst on Instagram. Aubrey told her parents that she wanted to be a "mommy and an artist" when she grew up.  So when the family decided to help raise money for cancer research, Aubrey created this beautiful card to help others honor the special women in their lives on Mother's Day. Aubrey's goal is to sell 2,014 cards by Mother's Day with proceeds benefiting the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Cards can be purchased for $5.00 on Etsy at http://etsy.me/1i1i6vi :)

Day 123: Cheered on Friends Running a Half Marathon

What a fantastic morning! I was so honored to cheer on 2 amazing women as they achieved their goal of running a half marathon today...I am so proud of you both! Many thanks to Sarah, my partner in crime, for joining my cheer-leading squad today. We almost missed both ladies as they ran by because there were so many runners this morning. But, what we didn't expect was how many smiles we received from runners after reading our sign :)

Day 122: Bought Crayons and a Coloring Book for the Waiting Room at Work

The Doctor's office is usually not a fun place to visit. This is especially true for children waiting for their parents' appointments. So today, I decided to leave crayons and a coloring book in the waiting room of the ambulatory care center I work at. I hope this activity helped the time pass quicker for a little one :)

Day 121: Left Stamps at the Post Office

Today, I stopped by the post office to pick up some stamps and decided to leave a few behind for someone to find. Everyone could use an extra stamp or two :)
