Optimist... Really!

Michele looks at life a little differently than many... "I'm a realistic optimist...the glass is always half full, but it may not always be half full of something you want to drink. :)"

Smiling her way through life

Spreading smiles wherever she goes, kids naturally follow her with their eyes and inevitably smile. Tough guys at the gym smile and ask her how her workout's going. Strangers in the grocery store end up chatting and telling her about their troubles, and leave with a smile.

She exudes something that invites people to celebrate life with her. Some may give that initial look of pity at the "poor woman in the wheelchair", but that doesn't last long. Her exuberance and passion for life is contagious.
