My Photo
My name is Rachael. I'm a writer. I have cerebral palsy. You’ve probably already read the headline. It says:” Danger Is My Middle Name!” I'm the kind of person who will do almost anything for excitement. If someone says, “Rachael, Don’t you think this is a little dangerous?" My immediate response is, “Danger is my middle name!" My first book,” The Hunt for Heaven" has been published through Chaplain Publishing. I have two articles published and I'm working on putting together a portfolio. My articles have been published in the "Santa Clarita Magazine," my local magazine, and the "Canyon Call," my college newspaper. I'm currently working on a devotional book via this blog site. My goal in doing this website is to get the attention of editors who publish devotionals, and perhaps fulfill my dream of creating a devotional magazine for children. On my blog I talk about the many adventures and challenges I face with CP. I hope you enjoy my writing. If you have any questions, comments, or writing ideas, feel free to let me know. Are you ready for an adventure? Hold On! It's going to be a wild ride!

Dad's Picture

This is my father Rex Benson.  He's the man who said, "This is now the new  normal" when I was born.  This is one of the last pictures I have of him before he died.  We're packing up to go home from our ski trip at Lake Powell in Utah.  That's me on his shoulders at eleven years old.  What a great time we had! This Thursday marks sixteen years since his death.  What a loving father he was! Dad, thanks for treating me like a normal kid! I love you and  I miss you!
