    Technically, I know Iā€™m going to be packing tomo Technically, I know Iā€™m going to be packing tomorrowā€¦ but as of 8/27 Iā€™ll be on my way to spend the end of the year in Raleigh, North Carolina šŸš€ Yes, this is the first time Iā€™ll be calling somewhere outside of New England home (even if itā€™s only temporary). Yes, Iā€™m still a single divorced woman living with Unpredictable Multiple Sclerosis, a compromised immune system, and a dynamic disability. So yes, some people have looked at me like I had three heads when I told them my exciting news šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Oh, and did I mention Iā€™m getting my quarterly injections to help manage the painful #Dystonia spasms in my feet on 8/23?? šŸ’‰šŸ˜¬Yes, well of course. But if I waited to do anything new until I was feeling amazing or wasnā€™t in the midst of juggling life with chronic illness, Iā€™d be waiting FOREVER! Itā€™s still kind of surreal that Iā€™ll really be leaving in the next two and a half weeksā€¦ but I moved and changed my whole life once during this pandemic already, whatā€™s one more time?! šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø And yes mom, I promise Iā€™ll still be back to visit MA often ā¤ļø #NewAdventuresAwait

    One of the biggest lies we are told in society is One of the biggest lies we are told in society is to FIND someone that makes you happy. I know from personal experience that you have to actually learn how to make YOURSELF happy, because you canā€™t depend on someone else for your own happiness. Do you have to be completely healed, happy all the time, and full of self love to be ready for a healthy relationship? No, of course notā€¦another lie is that anyone is actually happy all of the time! Surprise, theyā€™re not! šŸ¤Æ But doing the work to unlearn all the bullshit we are taught by society, especially is you grow up socialized as a female, and learning what makes you happy without a partner, youā€™ll be far happier overall ā¤ļø Do you agree? Divorced or not, Iā€™d love to know your thoughts. #MakeYourselfHappy #SelfGrowthJourney #UnlearnAndReLearn #SelfLoveJourney #DivorcedWoman

    Happy birthday to my biggest cheerleader, my favor Happy birthday to my biggest cheerleader, my favorite vacation buddy, my confidant, my mom. šŸŽ‰ As a teenager, her endless compassion and friendliness embarrassed me, and now I hope to be half the woman she is one day. My mom has always been outspoken for equality and equity, human rights, kindness and love above all. Her generous soul truly knows no bounds and she wouldnā€™t hesitate to invite strangers to thanksgiving (she has actually done that lol but thatā€™s a story for another day). I am unbelievably grateful and proud to be her daughter ā¤ļø Thankfully, sheā€™s not on social media so she wonā€™t be embarrassed by me bragging about how awesome she is on this post (the lack of modesty is definitely a trait I get from my dad šŸ˜‚)
    Your health may be unreliable, but that doesnā€™t Your health may be unreliable, but that doesnā€™t mean that YOU are. Itā€™s not a poor reflection of you as a person when you are listening to your body and putting yourself first.. even though I know how hard it can be and how much it can suck to have to miss out on stuff. šŸ˜” Even though I want to be the ā€œsuper fun auntieā€ that does all the thingsā€¦ well I have to remind myself that I wonā€™t be fun at all if I over do it. If you sometimes feel unreliable because your health is, please remember that youā€™re not and that youā€™re also not alone ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø #ChronicIllnessLife #SpoonieLife #ThisisMS #ChronicFatigue #DisabilityAwareness #WednesdayWisdom

    Remembering the days at the beginning of the (ongo Remembering the days at the beginning of the (ongoing) pandemic where I had some small hope that stores like Kohlā€™s would actually KEEP their new more accessible options such as curbside pickupā€¦ ha, what a time šŸ™„šŸ¤¬ @kohls is now making you walk through the entire store (from the Disability parking spots at the farthest point in the lot away from pick up) without any scooters, or God forbid even a NOTICE that curbside pick up went awayā€¦.and of course no employees wearing masks, despite the fact that the newest variant is more transmissible then ever. Honestly, I would have tried to cancel my order upon arrival and discovering this, but it was for my momā€™s bday so I sucked it up. But will I be shopping there again? Hell no. Does this seem like a big deal to a yet to be disabled person? No, Iā€™m sure itā€™s not. But for me and the 25% of the population that lives with a disability and is likely at higher risk for server disease and May deal with chronic fatigue, chronic pain; etcā€¦ it makes a terribly negative impact on my day. āž”ļøThis is just one SMALL example of how large corporations pretend to care about diversity and inclusion and then reduce accessibility and forgo customer safety as soon as possible. šŸ¤¬ #Kohlsfinds I know @target is still offering curbside pick up, and of course their are delivery services, which comes with an additional financial cost, but have any other stores kept their curbside options?
    Healing is not linear. Itā€™s not pretty like this Healing is not linear. Itā€™s not pretty like this video. Real life doesnā€™t look like the movies or social media, and thatā€™s okay. My healing journey isnā€™t linear, and itā€™s okay if yours isnā€™t either. Itā€™s real, itā€™s yours, and youā€™re doing your best. ā¤ļø What more could anyone ask for? #HealingJourney #MindsetChange #DisabilityAdvocate #MentalHealthMatters #ReminderForMyself #HealingIsNotLinear #SelfGrowthJourney

Because it is. We must move toward an unquestioned understanding that disabled lives are worth living. Because they areā€ āœØ And thatā€™s what gives me hope; the fact that our lives ARE valuable and the people in our community consistently show up for each other and themselves ā¤ļø āž”ļøWhat gives you hope for a more equitable and accessible future?! #ADA32
    šŸ¶IMPORTANT UPDATEšŸ¶ For the past few months, šŸ¶IMPORTANT UPDATEšŸ¶ For the past few months, I knew in my heart that I truly couldnā€™t provide Callie with the type of busy family environment that she needs to live her VERY BEST LIFE. So I made one of the hardest decisions of my life, out of pure love for her, and found her the perfect NEW FOREVER HOME where sheā€™s thriving ā¤ļø Itā€™s been just a few weeks since I took that last picture of the two of us on the way to the park (and of course I added one from when I first adopted her in December) and I can tell you that I know without a doubt this is how it was always meant to be. Her new family has a huge yard (yes sheā€™s carrying her new pool around it lol) and they love her tremendously. They are family to a wonderful friend of mine and they lost their elderly dog around the time I adopted Callie. They have lots of family with dogs her size that she can play with and get loved by often. Sheā€™s a super social girl and thrives on those relationships. Thatā€™s not something that I could have provided for her, no matter how healthy I am. She fits in perfectly with their large close knit family, adults, kids, and pups and had an instant connection with her new parents. As a dog mom who fostered a dozen dogs over the years (with Dixie in the house we lived in with my ex-husband), last year I would have told you that I would NEVER re-home my dogā€¦ but I would always do whatever is best for them, no matter the physical or emotional cost to me and when it became clear I couldnā€™t give her what she truly needed, it shattered my heart and I miss her tremendously.I KNOW now this is how it was actually always meant to be. šŸ˜­ā¤ļø I am so very grateful that I was the one Callie chose to spend the last 7 months with while her forever family was grieving their pup, & that I could give her the very best loving start to her life possible. She gave me so much more than I can ever articulate, and Iā€™ll love her for as long as I live, but Iā€™ve been grieving and processions my emotions privately before I was ready to share this with all of you. Her family sends me regular updates & I will be able to visit her as well ā¤ļø Thank you in advance for your love & support.
