This morning, I happened upon the story of an inspiring 16 year old Irish gal who in September of 2012, was awarded the People of the Year Award in Dublin, Ireland. Her story can be found on her website which I included below ~ as well as many pictures from her FB page which you can find at http://www.nolimbsnolimits.net/ which is her official website! Joanne was born with a rare physical disability called Total Amelia which means she was born without all four limbs even though there is no medical explanation for this occurrence. Neither Joanne nor her family have ever allowed this to hold her back. In fact, she is quite inspiring and I highly recommend that you click on her website above!
Words fail me in telling you her story, so I’ll let Joanne do it on her website. Please, take a moment today to fill up your spiritual cup with a dose of love, extraordinary human spirit and endless possibility! The word is not impossible, it’s…
I’m Possible!
Shine On!

“Build me a robot” I believe that someone will build a robot for her that will change her life in astounding ways.
