A woman with dyslexia and deafness is planning to write her memoir.
Dahn yoga can be a means of overcoming a painful experience and seeking personal healing as well as growth. Vee Extance is one person who embodies this notion.
Extance is 38-years-old and planning to write a book about her childhood. What makes is unique is that she was born deaf and is dyslexic as well, according to the Doncaster Free Press.
Extance says that the impetus for her memoir-writing came from her participation in a community learning employment champion (CLEC) project.
"I thought of myself as a victim and I felt useless. When I heard about the CLEC project, it really struck a chord with me. Helping people get their lives back on track by getting them into work and training was a positive thing to do," Extance told the news source.
Extance, a mother of two teenage boys, says that she never expected to be a source of inspiration for others. However, she received numerous positive feedback comments from other students and lecturers at the CLEC and thus felt confident enough to write her own book.
"Simply by helping and inspiring others we can all achieve what may seem like the impossible," says Extance. "I’m proof of that.”
The CLEC program in Doncaster offers people a way to participate in their community, support one another and develop confidence as well as new skills, according to their website.
