First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Nickie Alarie does not know the word 'can't.' Born with a hand deformity she doesn't have use of her second hand like we do. Her 'small' hand only allows her a low range of capability. Nicki, an 8-year-old from a small town in Ontario, Canada, goes to school, plays with friends, plays soccer, rides horses, plays the violin and loves to bake with her mom. Pretty normal, except Nicki only has one good arm and is very small for her age. This disability does not stop her from doing what she wants and excelling at it. Not only does she play violin, but she works hard using the custom made bow that attaches to her small arm. She doesn’t look at things from the perspective of what she can’t do, but HOW she CAN do it. It’s an amazing perspective that more of us should adopt into our lives.
