Dyslexia is neurological developmental disability that affects how the brain processes language. It is NOT a death sentence. It can be mitigated, overcome, and marginalized, so that You can live your best life. 

Today I talk with MacKenzie, a young lady who is not handicapped by her disability, about her journey with Dyslexia. I hope that after you hear her speak, you will understand how dyslexia can get in your way, but through testing and mitigation, you can overcome both the stigma and the disruption that comes with the disability. 

If you or someone you know is struggling with language processing, please seek help through an evaluation. Here are some important resources:

Barney Lane is a retired professional drummer who spent 45 years doing music for TV and Movie studios in Los Angeles. He refused to be boxed in by anyone else's design. He is an inspiration and as you listen, you will see what I mean.

You can spend your time dreaming about being in the music business, or you can train, play, work, and find your way. Pull on those bootstraps, refuse to be defined, and do what you love. Life is not for wimps; it's for passionate people and dreamers.

Tired of being told what to think? "T" talks with real people in the southeast (mostly Myrtle Beach, SC) about how they feel about topics from politics to everything. All content is appropriate and geared towards most people 16 years and older who comprise folks on Main Street. Regular people. 

I want to hear from you. I won't tell you how to think or arbitrate what is fact. We the people of Main Street hear what we hear and know what we know. And I want to be open-minded so I can hear YOU.
