A Poem to Help Us Through the Week

Please try not to forget how truly strong you are. I know that’s easier said than done. I routinely forget my own inner strength and fall victim to my vices.

Good Times, Baby!

And it was a love like Pink Moscato in a cracked wine glass.So sweet and bubbly,So busy rising that I didn’t feel the cutsOr didn’t care,Not sure what’s worse.And anyway, what about the good times??The hysterical haze of possibility,When you took me in your arms and I felt secureBut enlivened by a closeness to danger.HarnessedContinue reading “Good Times, Baby!”

Help Me Settle a Debate… (VIDEO)

I don’t know how to describe it. There is just something about being constantly told I should talk about my disability that makes me uncomfortable. I recognize, and am often reminded, that many people with cerebral palsy have difficulties communicating. I’m repeatedly told that I should use my ability to speak as an asset toContinue reading “Help Me Settle a Debate… (VIDEO)”

Getting Philosophical with the Narrator in My Head

Do you ever pretend as if your life is being narrated back to you in the 3rd person? For example, “Julie went to the cabinet and grabbed a mug.” I tend to do this, especially after I’ve been reading a book for awhile. I’ll silently narrate my actions in my head.
