“You’re so brave.” Am I? I don’t think so. You can pretty much replace brave with strong, courageous, inspirational….all of which are highly complimentary, and something I really don’t think I deserve. I always thought this was an interesting response when I told people I had MS. And to be clear, I always thank them […]

Anyone around for the Early Internet™️ probably remembers MySpace (Hi Tom!), and might even still remember their Top 8. Or got in fights about their Top 8. We spent *too long* agonizing over what terrible midi rendition of our favorite song would greet anyone who wandered to our page. We used choppy GIF animations, garish […]

I talk to myself a lot. It used to just be verbal processing or observational stuff (“Oh my god Becky look at her butt! It is so big…” don’t know why that came to mind but here we are). Now I also talk to my body. My legs most frequently. My brain quite a bit […]

It’s irritating when I go to write something, see what I’ve already written, and go, “…well farts. I should follow my own advice. How annoying.” Thanks, Past Me. In the spirit of appreciating normal days, today was actually a pretty decent one. I had a really good time at PT – I even jumped! I […]

I got in a digital cleaning mood today – which is INFINITELY easier than physical cleaning – and while I was going through my inbox, I found this quote: Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, savor you, bless you before you depart. Let […]

I’ve not ever really much cared for roller coasters. When I was younger I went on some, they’re not really my thing. And now, forget about it. My brain would be so far out of my body and the vertigo would be so intense, nothing would be worth how bad I’d feel. It’s ok though, […]

Well, here we are almost a month through a new year. I was hoping it would at least start less chaotic, but it doesn’t seem that will be the case. I’m reaching a point where I want to do both more and less – more things I keep saying/thinking that I want to do, and […]

I’ll fight for things that matter to me. Most people will, I’m not special in that regard. I do often get my confidence shaken, but I persist – sometimes to my detriment. This time though, I am so proud. Finally, after three years and a lot of arguing (a *lot* of arguing), I’ve gotten a […]

I’ve been on the struggle bus the last couple of weeks in regards to motivation for my own things. Doing things for other people is so much easier. I think I finally figured out why this is (at least for me): doing things for other people takes the decision-making away, so you can’t get caught […]

I know we’re already almost halfway through October (which is honestly insane), but I’m getting caught up on Inktober drawings.  For those not familiar with Inktober, it’s a a drawing challenge with a prompt for every day through the month of October.  It’s a fun exercise to get into a creative flow, practice your art, […]
