Typically people with D are average to well above average intelligence....Churchill, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, George Clooney, JFK, Lara Flynn Boyle, Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom, Muhammed Ali, Billy Blanks, these are some examples of people with dyslexia. Churchill stated school was a nightmare for him. He was humiliated by his inability to read and write. I guess no one was laughing when he made prime minister of England and helped to yank the rug from under Hitler. Dyslexia is indeed a challenge.

I've been so happy with all the support and kindness I've received after having revealed this story on the blog. I was very hesitant to share it because it seemed a bit off topic, after all, my readers need jobs. But in retrospect, I'm glad I published it. It's the stories in our lives that give it spice.
