As July goes on and I see my feed with massively scary stories and a few people try to show and share their pride in their existence, I wonder what I can add to the cacophony that would be worthwhile and meaningful. As a disabled human being who’s always aware of what my limits areContinue reading “What I see…”

Insomnia
There was a time when my sleeping patterns were so out of whack that I would go days without proper sleep. Back then, it didn’t matter because I wasn’t working outside the house. These days, if I suffer a bad bout of insomnia I could miss work enough to impact our income and that isContinue reading “Insomnia”
Disabled, And…
A few years ago, during Disabled Pride Month, I wrote a series on my socials. There was one that I wanted to expand on. Original Post: I am disabled and sometimes I rest. Being disabled is work. And for many, just living life from day to day is all they have energy for. I understandContinue reading “Disabled, And…”
Independence Day
It was an unintentional silent protest in our home this weekend. We intended to go to a baseball game, but we waited too long to buy tickets. We did go to a movie and ran some errands we needed to do for the weekend. We were home long before dark. As the fireworks started goingContinue reading “Independence Day”
Budgeting

Grounding Exercise
How does every part of my body feel at this moment? Head is heavy from all the stress of the day. Neck feels tight and stiff because I haven’t stretched today. Shoulders and upper back are tight and sore but not painful. Chest and torso feel supported and full… as in I’ve had good mealsContinue reading “Grounding Exercise”
Slowly but Surely
When the last kid left our home and as we began walking through our hell all those months. We decided on 2 things. First, as soon as we could we would leave this apartment… which will take at least one more year because life has a way of intervening in our efforts. Second, we wouldContinue reading “Slowly but Surely”
Fear
What is your biggest fear? My biggest fear is giving in to the person I was. If I were to drop all the progress that I’ve made and listen to the darkness that hovers in the background at all times. The way I combat that fear is to count my blessings from all the changes.Continue reading “Fear”
