The Princess' Birthday!

Today is the 21st birthday on a very special girl. My niece, Adrian. My Sweet Pea! It is hard to believe it has been 21 years ago since this little girl entered into this world. For those that do not know, Adrian has Autism. It is only fitting that she celebrates her birthday in the same month as Autism Awareness Month. If there is anyone who can inspire awareness, it would be this special princess. Spend any amount of time with Adrian and she will instantly win over your heart. It was her love of all things Disney that inspired and motivated me to work for the company. I only wish I could be there with her to celebrate the day. In honor of Princess Adrian's birthday, and of Autism Awareness Month, I would like to mention AutismSpeaks.org. Autism Speaks has grown into the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. So for the princess' birthday, how about checking out the site, see what they do, and if you are able to, donate or volunteer to help other families with special prince and princesses. Love to all.
