YOU LEAP OVER THAT BARRIER!
VAULT WITH YOUR VOICE!
IMAGINE.....
Speaking without pain or vocal tiring as you are teaching your students or participating in a conference!
Connecting in a meaningful way with your loved one, even though your loved one and you have faced a significant medical obstacle.
Finding ways to engage in a meaningful way in activities you enjoy, even if in a slightly different way.
Being able to read to your grandchildren and they understand you. They clamor to have you read to them more, and they bombard you with questions!!!
Having a conversation with a significant other and being heard & understood!
Being able to find the words you want to say while being creative to get your point across in other ways when you need or want to!
Having strategies to suppress or prevent a nagging cough that just hasn't responded to other treatments!!
Being able to eat some of your favorite foods at your family's Thanksgiving meal!
Exploring & exalting your TRUE, authentic voice!
Rejoicing in the sense of accomplishment when you finish a project at home or at work!
