What public figure do you disagree with the most? I disagree with most public figures at least part of the time. Lately, the one I disagree with most is the execution of most federal government officials.

Denim Day
Today is a day when we raise awareness for sexual violence and survivors and ending misconceptions around sexual violence. No one ever asks to be violated in that way. No matter how you dress, act, how and where you spend your time, your body should be sacrosanct. No is a complete sentence.
Contemplative
A new year of my life started on Saturday. My day to day life will be pretty much the same. But, I have some goals for this year of my life. They are a bit amorphous right now. I just know I want more out of my life.

Moving
Movement is important to me. Like, if I don’t move my major muscles, my body physically rebels… which throws my mental health into a tailspin. Lately, I haven’t been moving as much or as intensely as I like… and I have been feeling it. Today, I cleaned up my home workout space, and I didContinue reading “Moving”
CP = giant community and loneliness
Cerebral Palsy is the most common lifelong disability. There are a lot of people throughout the world who can understand at least part of my life with CP… including my husband. At the same time, every person with CP has a unique experience. Even a similar diagnosis and brain damage can affect two people veryContinue reading “CP = giant community and loneliness”
February 28
I learned today that today is “Rare Disease Day,” and because I am part of several community orgs for cerebral palsy, I learned that CP and the term rare are connected.
