The Secret Life of Amanda Brown

    So the reason for the title of this post is that I LOVE the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty ! In the  movie he often spaces out into his own world. That is something I feel has became a pattern in my life.  Day dreaming you could call it but for me I wanted to stop the day dreaming, stop feeling stuck and do something that Ive always secretly wanted to do and that is make a difference even if its starting somewhere small and letting it grow .  So the secret is out.  I want to start a project called AMANDAS PROJECT HAPPINESS.
    My name is Amanda Brown. Im 25 and I was born with Mild Cerebral Palsy. CP is a condition marked by impaired muscle coordination (spastic paralysis) and/or other disabilities, typically caused by damage to the brain before or at birth.  That is the simplest definition I have seen without being to vague. Ive had 17 surgeries. The doctors told my mom I would never walk but my mom said oh she will walk.  So look at me now. I am walking. So what really do the doctors know right?;) well maybe a few things.  
   I started writing my thoughts into a book over six months ago when I had a major surgery on my femur when I was down and depressed about where my life was and figuring out who I really was. Just like all of you, Ive had different struggles in my life but its not all of what my life is about. There is ALOT to happiness.  Ive decided to be brave and follow a dream of mine to share about my life and what makes me happy through writing my story in a book, a blog, and social media.  I want to carry out different projects throughout the community and through out the world with different activities and what I like to call helping projects.  I never liked the word service project not that there is anything wrong with the word but Ive always liked the word helping better because at times I felt like that service "project" to others.  Even though I know people have always had the best intentions I like the word helping projects. WE We are all here to help each other out. So this is why I am calling it Amandas Project Happiness. 
    Really I just love people and love to make people happy. I hope that I can make some kind of difference in sharing my story. Ive felt strongly about this for a while now and here it goes. You gotta start somewhere right?  Its definitely a process but where will you get if you dont reach and jump the highest and the best you can to your dreams. Even if it seems a little crazy. Start with small simple things and build it up.
    I want to involve people because that is a big part of what makes me happy.  I know everyone has a wonderful story to share because there are so many that have inspired me. I hope you will share with me what makes you happy. So go go go share with me your story.
