Away With Purpose

Years ago, when I was deciding what my future would be. I actively chose to stay out west. Let me explain: I went away to school in Rexburg, Idaho, six (6) months after my high school graduation. I went away to school because I had people intervene on my behalf to ensure I got theContinue reading “Away With Purpose”

Holding Grudges

At this time last weekend, I was on a plane. I was going to Florida for the first time in seven (7) years to be with family. And, I knew that I was walking into a lion’s den. Being the only (to my knowledge) disabled person since birth in my family means I’m treated differently.Continue reading “Holding Grudges”

Home Again

We arrived home early this afternoon. I took the day off of work to recover. Our car is cleared out and (mostly) clean of the bug goo that happens on long trips.

Vacation

We are traveling and have finally reached our destination. It has been a good trip. The car has been amazing. We shared the driving and have had good meals. Tomorrow is the main event, and then we will explore a bit before the trek back. Pictures to come via my socials.

Escape and Process

What do you enjoy most about writing? Writing for me has always been a way of coping and processing. It’s also the way I found my voice as a disabled person that was consistently bullied and belittled, even by members of my own family. When I can’t speak the words, I write them down. ThatContinue reading “Escape and Process”

Substack Post

I’m starting to build my content on Substack. Feel free to find me there… Listen Louder is one that was inspired by my Sunday morning routine.
