In this episode I am speaking with Martha Varela who is the Executive Director of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). Martha has been on the podcast in the past to talk about the Better With Horses Program that she participated in at the Horse Project with other paralyzed women veterans in the spring.
Well the second round took place a couple weeks ago and Martha and I were teamed up to work with one another over several days. In this episode, we talk about how great the program is and how much they loved it. But we also talk about how important it is to get educated regarding the needs of the disabled to ensure ease, joy and a safe environment.
Listen to our conversation and become educated on how challenging it is to be disabled and in a wheelchair, so we can all become advocates for our paralyzed veterans who sacrificed so much for us.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
