In America, we have another six weeks of winter but for some of us the idea of love and relationships can heat us up in the coldest of nights.

Yet, some of us are still searching for that special someone to light our fire.

My Life: Straight Up with a Twist

Delving In: Devotees

It is in our human nature to want to be admired. Everyone wants to be praised and flattered by someone else. It makes anyone’s self-esteem improve. It is a great feeling, but what about when the admiration comes from a questionable source?

This has been a topic I have wanted to cover for some time because a lot of people within our own disabled community have either not discovered it, or have not been given enough information about it. My topic of choice for this month’s column is the subject of devotees.

Audacious Person Nominee

In 2007, Jessica Galli (Hillsborough, N.J.) established herself as one to watch at the upcoming Paralympic Games in Beijing on the track, stamping her name all over the record books in the process. For her accomplishments, the 24-year-old track & field star was selected as the U.S. Olympic Committee’s 2007 Paralympian of the Year.

Nate Tauzer: A Swimmer's Stroke on Obstacles

Coolly, I look out across the pool, on my left is a man without a leg and on the right another man without a hand. A chill runs through me as I question my reasons of being in this line of characters. After all, I have no missing limbs or any obvious handicaps. I look at the pure determination in their faces and it makes me remember my own struggles.
