Lots of colour thanks to the ndis

'I will be there . . . 

This week was full of colour. I visited one of my favourite stores 'Bunnings' with my support worker.  I purchased brightly coloured paint for my 'pop art' series, and found flowers to add colour to my garden.

My ndis funding enables me to be part of the local art community, create art, and run a small business. And every now and then . . . my artwork sells. 

Sold at Aspire Gallery this week! 

The ndis supports participants like me to achieve their goals and be part of their communities through providing support and equipment to enable them to 'live a normal life'.

Every now and then we are reminded we are something bigger than ourselves. We are part of God's plan of salvation. However as I said good-bye to Penny, she reminded us 'Without crucifixion there can be no resurrection'.  She penned these words a Easter time.  Penny coloured the life of all who knew her and I wish she could have seen how many lives she coloured and knew she, 'mattered'.

 I was able to ask my key worker to drop me at the church and meet a colleague and pick up art supplies, while I spent time with my friends celebrating Penny. What meant the most was knowing I could leave at a time that suited me and not rely on others.

Thanks to the ndis I am living a 'normal life' and celebrating life, the way God intended.
