IFPA convention 2025 Key note speaker

 





"The No Barriers Life" is a philosophy and movement created by blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer that provides a framework for navigating and overcoming personal challenges to live a life of purpose and impact.  



It is centered around the motto: "What's Within You Is Stronger Than What's In Your Way."  



The philosophy teaches people to:



• Acknowledge the barriers (whether they are physical, mental, emotional, or environmental) but refuse to be defined or limited by them.



• Harness adversity and use it as fuel for growth and innovation (a process Erik calls Alchemy).  



• Be a "Climber"—a mindset of continually challenging oneself to grow and evolve, rather than being a "Camper" who settles for stagnation.  



• Cultivate a guiding "Vision" that inspires them to give their best to the world.  



• Build a "Rope Team"—a strong support system and community that helps one move forward.  



In essence, The No Barriers Life is a step-by-step approach to push past obstacles, reconnect with one's purpose, and unleash one's full potential.

BLUEBERRY 🫐 INDUSTRY THREATENED ON A GLOBAL SCALE

  While the fungus has predominantly been identified in blueberry plants, the species has been found to infect wheat, hops, grapes, and strawberries plants. The blueberry plant is native to America and is believed to be one of the first edible fruit-producing plants discovered by native people following the last ice age. In addition to being picked and eaten fresh, Native Americans incorporated blueberries into a variety of dishes that include soups, stews, preserves and puddings. However, early uses of the blueberry extended far beyond cultural cuisine, spilling into medicinal uses in combination with roots, stems, leaves and flowers. Known today as the highbush variety, the plant natively stretched from the arctic plains across what is now the United States down through Mexico and into some parts of South America.  Although this information about the disease is surfacing only recently, samples that were analyzed in the study conducted by the University of North Carolina incl...
