I was introduced to Luvvie what seems like forever ago. Her words inspire me. Successful authors tend to do that, since I want to be a successful author one day. So, when I learned about her Book Academy offering of daily writing prompts in October, I immediately signed up. I was looking forward to it.Continue reading “Word Work 2025”

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”
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. The inside is clean of the trash and the sunflower seed shells that always accompany me on my travels. On my socials, youContinue reading “Home Again”
What I see…
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…”
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.

But, I wasn’t encouraged to go out and get a career. I wasn’t encouraged toContinue reading “Budgeting”

We absolutely must stand up and make ourselves known. I am a disabled woman with Cerebral Palsy. I have from a veryContinue reading “Disability Pride Momth”
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”
