I had my 6 month imaging as part of my health care protocols. I’ve been called back for additional imaging. Scheduling these appointments is part of my job every day. So, in my head I know this is “routine ” and there is probably nothing to be too concerned about. My body’s reaction to it…Continue reading “Waiting period”

Off On Another Adventure
I was just getting into my routine. Last week was the last of my 10 hour shifts. Yesterday was the beginning of my new self designed schedule.

Budgeting
Growing up, the concept of a budget was nebulous. I knew that we had to earn money to afford life… but then for me not really. My mother showed by example that you had to work to survive this world. But, I wasn’t encouraged to go out and get a career. I wasn’t encouraged toContinue reading “Budgeting”
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”
No Change
If you change nothing about yourself and your life, where would you be one year from now? If nothing changes about life, I will be healthier cuz I spend more time eating at home from a nutrition plan that makes sense for our lifestyle. I will be stronger because I am working on building betterContinue reading “No Change”
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.
Brothers
I have a younger brother. His birthday was yesterday. We’ve never been close, and since I have made my life far from the areas that he calls home… it’s been a minute since we’ve celebrated anything together. He’s my brother all the same, and I hope that he had a good day doing something heContinue reading “Brothers”

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”
Hamilton
A few weeks ago, I saw the Broadway touring company of Hamilton at the Morrison Center in my city. I have enjoyed American history, our political upbringing, and all of the many players in the shaping of our country for as long as I can remember. Setting the life of one of our founding fathersContinue reading “Hamilton”
New Month; Same Me
February 1st. Historically, I have struggled with my mental health around this time of the year. Thoughts of being unalive and how I would achieve that would run rampant. I haven’t had that problem in the last few years. It is a nice change to that roller coaster. That’s not saying I still don’t struggleContinue reading “New Month; Same Me”
