Pretty Special World
Rachael is a 19 year old high school cheerleader and homecoming queen. She also has Downs Syndrome and might be one of the wisest people out there.
Some of her advice?
It’s a great day or not… the choice is yours.
What’s in your heart goes to your brain like a big bubble. If it’s not good stuff, the bubble pops and you get bad feelings. Make good stuff in your heart so your brain doesn’t pop.
There’s two kind opportunities. The wrong opportunity you walk away. The right opportunity is the right path.
It’s okay. Things happen. That’s life.
Sometimes we just need relax, and move on. That’s life.
My life is really love. It’s the secret to my message.
If you can’t find your magic, look in your heart. You forgot it there.

One Red Paperclip
Think you don’t have anything?
Kyle traded a single red paperclip for a house. If that idea doesn’t make you smile, reading how he did it just might.
“I happened to be in town for the day and had never traded a paperclip with a vegan before, let alone two, so I figured, what the hay, let’s do this.”
“But not just any old doorknob, oh no, this l’il sculpted mofo looks like E.T. after he smoked a bat. A BIG bat. If I had to name it, which I do, I’d call it a Knob-T.”
“…faked my way to an appropriate ‘one of the boys’ level of comprehension. There was talk about ‘hertz’, ‘cycles’, AC and DC and a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember.”
What inspires you? What puts a smile on your face?
