a roller coaster of a week but thats the journey of a dyslexic social entrepreneur

Designed by the fab talented dyslexic artist Kathy Thompson

Hi blog followers and readers hope you are all feeling fab and life is good.

Well one of those times in my life where I am on that roller coaster ride...….

Highs of the roller coaster ride this week:

Think I mentioned this in my last blog but I am just so relieved to have my next five year business plan finished going to mention this again. Sheesh been working on about this thing for a year I think. It was certainly the hardest thing I have ever written. Its been like a monkey on my back ouch. Still that good old dyslexic determination got me there eventually.

Got a call from the BBC again inviting me to talk about Dyslexia which was fab. 

This week I passed my target for dyslexia support sessions from my university work for this year. Passed the number from the whole of last year. Mind you I couldn't work as hard as I would have liked because I was still recovering from my two heart attacks.

Finally, I uploaded some new dyslexia positive tee shirt designs I designed to our online shop. I have also uploaded designs from dyslexic artists. Really excited about this. Here is the design called 1 in Ten which represents 10% of the population are dyslexic. Below is a link to the shop:

Unique Dyslexia / Dyslexia Pathways on line shop

I am going to start promoting my three new dyslexia training packages. I am even thinking of delivering an Professional Development Award training course in dyslexia.

The low for this week:

The main dip in the roller coaster ride is I have had to close my Unique Dyslexic web site. I think its going to be online until the end of March. I hadn't wanted to do it because it was a website I designed for our successful Unique Dyslexic Get Creative project. Its not what I want to do but I don't think I have any choice.

Here is a link to the site. I have been wanting to update it for a while but just not had the opportunity.

Unique Dyslexic was about dyslexia and creativity while Dyslexia Pathways CIC was about academic and training.

Ok that my blog completed thanks for reading (Steve McCue founder Dyslexia Pathways CIC and Unique Dyslexic).

I am a citizen of planet Earth

The words state of independence from this song got me thinking. When life began on planet earth there were no walls, no countries, no capitalism just a few cells / chemicals coming together in a primordial puddle of goo and creating the first life. Planet earth gave birth to life on this planet. 

Today we have politicians advocating the building of walls to separate us, we have post truths and alternative facts etc. 

Maybe all of us should declare our own individual independence separate ourselves from our states and countries and just become citizens of planet earth because that's the one thing that really unites us. 

My name is Steve McCue and I am no longer a citizen of the UK I am a citizen of planet earth.

Thanks for reading

We promote and support the social model of dyslexia through social enterprise. We see this as a positive, empowering and inclusive way forward. A way forward that challenges the medical discrepancy model of dyslexia.

We see dyslexia as a difference that reflects the diversity. Where society sees disability and deficit we see diversity and difference and what a fab diversity and difference being dyslexic is.
