For most of my life I’ve wanted to be normal. Now I don’t even know what that means. I don’t want to be normal anymore if that means living a life of fear. I want to prove that a woman with cerebral palsy can run a successful business, be a wife, and a mother. Normal
I got a comment a few weeks ago: “Nobody with CP is that happy all the time.” I didn’t engage with the negativity and they left my blog’s social media profile they were following. I admit, after that, I internalized their negativity a bit. Now, I want to turn it into something productive. Let’s talk

The other day one of my favorite authors, Glennon Doyle, said on social media that “being home because of the pandemic had made her have to face her dragons.” She invited us all to share our dragons with her and each other. I did. I told all of her Twitter followers that my dragon was
I have a crazy idea. I’ve uttered these words to my chosen brother/journey partner more times than I/we can count. He always is eager to listen, and, almost, always goes, with me, down the proverbial rabbit hole. I have a crazy idea I want to share with all of you…this time. The world tells us
