I have had so many successful speaking engagements at Rotary Clubs over the last year, that I am hoping to arrange a presentation at one of the many clubs here in the Toronto area.
Since a portion of the royalties from the book are donated each year to Rotary International's polio eradication fund, it is always great to meet the local members.
I am always received with a very warm welcome.
Maybe some day I will finally even get mentioned in "The Rotarian" magazine, which has thus far not been interested in "Travels in a Blue Chair"? I am nothing, if not optimistic!

Writing an article for Abilities magazine.
I have been asked to write a first person essay for Abilities magazine and have lots of ideas in mind, most of them revolve around motivating the disabled to get out and travel.
Along the same theme, "Travels in a Blue Chair" will be featured in this month's upcoming issue, so I am really looking forward to seeing the article.
Many thanks to Jennifer at Abilities for her tremendous support and for putting out such a great magazine!

YouTube video views surpass 6000 !!
One of the great things about the internet is the immediate impact you can make all over the world.
As I have been interviewed on TV and radio since publishing the book, I have been able to make these available on YouTube. I recently checked the account and was astonished to see that the various videos have been viewed over 6000 times. To me, that really speaks volumes.
It is also very interesting to track the countries whose viewers are tuning in. Many people I meet comment on seeing me in these interviews, and I receive lots of positive feedback.
It is another great way of reaching out to let other disabled and travel lovers find out about the existence of "Travels in a Blue Chair".
