1 day or 1 year. How long does it take to really know “wheelchair life?”
The recent headline of Saturday’s singer Vanessa White having to perform from a wheelchair got me thinking. Was she embarrassed or did she secretly like the attention? And did she learn anything from the experience? Read the rest of my thoughts here. – Tiff
