I’ve been in a wheelchair all my life and I have to admit something, I have never really wanted to walk. I can’t think of a ton of things that I would love to do if I could walk, dancing Sports, Rock climbing, the list goes on. The act of walking however has never actually…
I spent the better part of the day at doctors office. I have gone to the same doctor for the better part of 20 years. Recently I decided it was time for a change. There was nothing wrong with the doctor I had, it just sort of seemed like he was going through the…
Life is too short for regrets. I have exactly 3 in my 36 years of life. Two of them I had no control over and could do nothing to change the outcome. The third has to do with going from a manual wheelchair to a power chair when I started high school. If I…
Seems like they are talking hand everywhere you turn. There are shows of every type. Dr. Phil Dr. Laura, news shows, shows about money, politics, whatever you like to consume.

I wear a seatbelt so that I don’t fall out of my chair when people come up behind me and scream. I have really super amazing hearing. My hands don’t work so well and my legs don’t work so well, but my ears work really well. Like SONIC HEARING good. I could be…
I’m about to admit something I should probably not admit on a blog about motivation and comedy. I struggle with feeling powerless .I don’t move around very well. And when I wake up in the morning, I’m lying in bed….obviously, as opposed to on the …ceiling …or something… I’ve never been able to transfer…
