I have an interview this week! I received an e-mail from a very well known upscale New York City fitness center last week. When I completed my personal training I signed up to be on “the list” for lack of a better term. It’s a list of recent graduates shared…
What Disability?
I realized today I haven’t written in a couple of months. The last post was about having to stop cutting the grass. It turns out that was most likely a (delayed) reaction to the vaccine. My doctor said it wouldn’t have happened two weeks after, however, it takes two weeks…
The Champ
One of the things I love most about social media is being able to follow other people who may have challenges and see how they’re coping and overcoming them. I had the pleasure of talking to David Stjohn aka Champ – someone who is a shining light of positivity, resilience, and…
Recognizing When We Can No Longer Do Something: MS
Everyone that knows me knows how much I value my independence. After all, I pride myself on doing “everything”. I can no longer do everything. I painted my entire house last Winter. I shovel snow. I chop ice. I mow the lawn. I groom my dogs myself. Today I broke…
Performance Of The Year

Day 352
352 days working out at home. THREE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO DAYS! I remember my last gym visit so vividly. It was March 1st, 2020 and covid hadn’t really hit the U.S.A. yet. I had been following China and discussed it every day with a friend. I was afraid. I was…

Hope Is All We Have
Waiting for the vaccine Waiting and craving the return to “normal” And even the mundane This is insane In our homes for nearly a year Afraid of dying, afraid to go out Living in fear Vaccine distribution slow if not nonexistent Promises not kept 350,000 people gone While loved ones helplessly wept…
