About Carey

I am a mother of four and loving the new direction that my life has taken me.  My journey in life has guided me towards my deepest passions, books and art.  I am now combining them and have become a self published author and illustrator. I also an adult learner that enjoys telling my life story, in hopes other learners will not feel so alone.  I also want to help others that have never had reading or writing problems to better understand what it is  really like for those that do. 

I truly feel that my learning difficulties were a gift.  Every challenge and obstacle I have gone through, I have also overcome.  This is with thanks to many people that love to help in the literacy field. It has brought me to this point in time.

This website will be filled with products for sale and stories about some of my wonderful friends. Please keep coming back to see what's new and exciting with this website.

Forever a life learner, Carey Rigby-Wilcox

Speeches

I have done numerous speeches throughout the years. At the beginning I just spoke to literacy organization, and  people familiar to literacy issues. I am grateful for my life in take the turn to be able to speaking to all individual in many interesting area of life. Realizing that literacy issues are everywhere and anywhere. You can find a literacy component to all these area of life. Family, health, school, work place, disabilities, seniors, justices, all cultures, poverty, suicides, alcoholism. I clearly see the connection to many issues, because of all my literacy challenges I relate to almost all of them in some form. I feel that it is just so obvious how important literacy for people and their family. I firmly believe reading and writing  is a birth "write" for every individual. I am here to share my life story showing how my life was with  the lack of literacy skill, and now how my life is with  literacy skill. Reading and writing is a form of freedom, a freedom to have choices and make life dreams come true

 I have truly enjoyed being able to share my stories with so many.  I have benefited from every one. Recently I have been going into the school system talking to the children. I enjoy the challenge of talking to young children and young adults. I have come out of each school learning something knew about literacy about I also learn allot about myself. I hope that I always have opportunities to talk at the school across Canada.

I will keep supporting literacy issue and finding new and exciting ways to get involved.

Life is good!!!
