I was compensated by AT&T for this post.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been sharing my life through technology in one way or another for many years. I have never let my spinal cord injury hold me back and I want to encourage other people to do the same.<\/p>\n

Some might even say I “live beyond limits”. Maybe I do, but I think I just live my life. I live my everyday, ordinary life, and it just so happens to be on wheels. <\/p>\n

Now that we are talking about technology, I have a confession. I’m a little addicted to my phone. My 11-year-old even called me out on it after watching my video (see below). Something I said caused him to draw the conclusion that I was addicted, but of course he admitted we all are.<\/p>\n

 He is definitely right. I use my phone for texting. I use my phone for email. I use my phone for social media. Ironically, I use my phone for everything but talking. Do people still do that?! I’m kidding of course! I talk to my mom on a very regular basis. She lives to far away, so it’s the next best thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNow is my “addiction” a bad thing? Yes and no. It’s a bad thing because my son noticed, but it’s a good thing because it helps me preserve all the wonderful things about our life when my phone is put away.<\/p>\n

I really try to take a few pictures here and there and then just live in the moment. I will later go back and write about the experience (sometimes on my phone), but I don’t let the pictures become the only thing I remember. How terrible would that be?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I want to remember every moment and I want to share it with you. I want to be preserved for my boys to look back on and share with my future grandkids. I want you to see just how much life can still go on, even when something unspeakable happens. I want you to share that with others. <\/p>\n

\"I<\/a><\/p>\n

I also want you to share your story. You never know when someone will be searching for it. <\/h4>\n

AT&T recently launched a beyond limits campaign. <\/p>\n

It is designed to celebrate the way courageous individuals with disabilities are using technology to live beyond limits every day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Share how you live beyond limits for a chance to win!<\/h3>\n

AT&T is hosting a beyond limits contest that gives people with disabilities and those that support them a chance to win an all-inclusive trip to the U.S. Olympics Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO.<\/p>\n

I want you to enter! All you need to do is submit a video showing how technology has changed your life. How has technology helped you live beyond limits?<\/p>\n
