If ever you despair, know this: you are not alone. We have all been there one point in time or another. Don't, I say, give in. But, have hope you misery is short. I know what I speak because I have been there. I have touched the bottom, and it does not last if you … Continue reading If ever

On the go
I have three stories on the go: my memoir, my thriller and a ya fantasy sequel. I edited all my works this past weekend. It was only grammar corrections but a productive weekend. Now, I feel as if I can complete my memoir, then return to work on the other two novels. My memoir is … Continue reading On the go
Beginning to normalize
I am back at it. Back at work, back at reading and writing regularly. To say life has been strange would be an understatement. The Covid isolation over this past year messed with my head. Although I didn't feel depressed, all the signs weren't in a good space. So I stopped, or almost ceased, reading … Continue reading Beginning to normalize
Back at it
Well, I am back in the office full-time. I get my second Covid shot tomorrow; then I am off for stay-cation for a little over a week. I am taking transit to work for most of the trip, so now I have time to write or read. The commute hasn't been too bad though it's … Continue reading Back at it
Everything changed, when…
I started Dantrium capsules on May 13, 2017, and my walking has never been the same; my trot vastly improved. The difference was like night and day. Before the pills, I never knew what it was like to experience relaxed leg muscles – the spasticity was gone. For the first time in my fifty-year life … Continue reading Everything changed, when…
My rock bottom
I reached my bottom after Christmas with my weight. I am ashamed to admit that I hit my heaviest weight. I couldn’t see my feet while standing up, my belly was fifty (50) inches in diameter, and I couldn’t walk far without getting winded to the point where it took me almost thirty minutes to … Continue reading My rock bottom
I am writing again
I wrote this evening. My writing was something I haven’t genuinely done for a long time. Well, at least novel writing anyway. It wasn’t that I had writer’s block, no it was more insidious. The Covid situation wore my enthusiasm; I had lost any interest in things I previously enjoyed. Quite honestly, I was depressed. … Continue reading I am writing again
Progress
I am well on my way. I started right after Christmas. I didn’t plan to begin a weight loss journey; it just happened. I am on a lot of medications. One for my Cerebral Palsy and two for Discoid Lupus; one helps me walk better, and the other two keep my skin from breaking out … Continue reading Progress
Aging With Cerebral Palsy
I fell down the other day while going into the guest bedroom where I keep my clothes (Because, why not?). Before then, I haven’t fallen for quite some time. I used to fall a lot. Sometimes I would fall when I drank one too many. It was like my mind and my legs detached, and … Continue reading Aging With Cerebral Palsy
Bring on the nightmares
I watched the final episode of “It’s a Sin.” I guess I will probably be having bad dreams again tonight. That’s been a thing – too many memories. I witnessed the story the author was presenting first hand. I watched my brother wither away to skin and bone before he passed away. I wasn’t there … Continue reading Bring on the nightmares
