"Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall." ~John Dickinson, in the Liberty Song~ With a huff, I tapped out the last word to my recent post on Facebook and leaned back in my chair, clearly irritated. Within 24 hours, I had more than 50 likes/loves/cares, and … Continue reading Divided We Fall…
Disability is a Way of Life
"Believe you can and you're halfway there." ~Theodore Roosevelt~ "What? Say that again?", I repeated again as I increased the volume on the microphone headset I had over my ears.

Anxiety : Man’s Best Friend
"Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action." ~Walter Anderson~ So, the other morning, I woke up drenched and covered in sweat. I had a rough night that night; I tossed and turned, my mind just tumbled about in my sleep as I apparently worried about everything under the sun.

Toxicity and you
"An apology without change is just manipulation." Read that again.

Obsessing Over the Little Things
"Passion is a positive obsession. Obsession is a negative passion." ~Paul Carvel~ "Don't forget, you want to go walking later!", my squeaky, high-strung, OCD counterpart blathered at me. "I know.", I replied back as I tried to ignore him and his daily, non-stop tirades. I was casually trying to relax, a.k.a. procrastinate, by watching some … Continue reading Obsessing Over the Little Things
The Spoon Theory
"You are not broken. You are breaking through." ~Alex Myles~ Anxiety is real. But so are chipmunks.

You can’t do it! Part Two
"Do. Or do not. There is no try." ~Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back~ Where did I leave off? Oh, right, yes. Last I checked, I wasn't hallucinating. I certainly did not partake of any extracurricular activities such as baking my brains or drowning in liquor to cause me to hallucinate and carry on a conversation … Continue reading You can’t do it! Part Two
You can’t do it! ( Or maybe I can! )
"If you dream it, you can do it." ~Walt Disney~ Awhile back, give or take a few weeks, I was sitting down with one of my doctors when she popped the age old question that I absolutely hate to answer.
