What advice would you give your younger self? First thing I’d tell any younger version of myself is: “Do it afraid.” If I wasn’t crippled by fear for a good portion of my young adulthood, I would have accomplished the things I’m doing now so much earlier. Second thing I’d tell any younger version ofContinue reading “Day 29”

Day 28 — Body appreciation
How do you feel about your physical appearance? How can you show your body more love and appreciation? This is a loaded question. I have cerebral palsy with left-sided hemiparesis. Society, members of my family, doctors, and others have been telling me that there is something wrong with me and my appearance since infancy. ForContinue reading “Day 28 — Body appreciation”
Day 22
I honestly do not know what to write today. Things are okay at work. Things are okay at home. I am tired. If you have a question for me… now’s the time to ask.
Day 21 — Health/Fitness Update
In June, I found Studio Sweat On Demand. I have regularly worked out with them over the last 6 months. A few months ago, I stepped up to be a Wellbeing Champion at work. Basically, I help my department be better about taking care of themselves and utilize all their resources to do it. ForContinue reading “Day 21 — Health/Fitness Update”
Day 20 – MLK Day
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. ~Martin Luther King, Jr. I went to elementary school in South Ozone Park, New York. That neighborhood was predominantly black in the 80s/90s. So, Martin Luther King, Jr.Continue reading “Day 20 – MLK Day”

I want to remember why I started reading books in general. I distinctly remember it was in thirdContinue reading “Day 19”

Day 13 — Prescheduled Post
What would your ideal day look like? My ideal day. My ideal day without thinking about worldly responsibilities. The day starts after a restful sleep. I awake to eat a breakfast of warm oatmeal seasoned with a cinnamon tea and sugar, like my grandmother made. The meal would include juice, coffee, and appropriate vitamins/electrolytes toContinue reading “Day 13 — Prescheduled Post”
Day 12 — Prescheduled Post
I want to remember… I want to remember the moment that I realized that faith is an action word. I came to my faith at a young age. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I had to fight to keep it. I was the only one in my home who believed the way I did. So,Continue reading “Day 12 — Prescheduled Post”
Day 11 — Prescheduled Post
Write your eulogy in 5 sentences. The indomitable bellatrix did more than survive her life. She lived to her fullest despite the battle of depression, self-loathing, and harm. Her children were not her own, but she loved them fiercely while they were hers. Language was her creative outlet, her stories, book, and other writings areContinue reading “Day 11 — Prescheduled Post”
