Back in the ocean

Dear Friends, At long last, I got back in the ocean! Wow. I needed that. Good old vitamin sea. It was so crowded getting to the beach. I guess it is the last hurrah before schools start. But we managed to find a calm and uncrowded spot in the water with tons of leopard sharksContinue reading “Back in the ocean”

It happened again

Dear Friends, Well, after another wonderful Motormorphosis, I had another panic attack on the plane home. It was so unexpected. It was disappointing. It was so scary, too. But it was also a good experience to go through, because I handled it much better this time. My support team responded more confidently this time andContinue reading “It happened again”

Happy Birthday to Tara!

Dear Friends, Well, today is special because it is my sister’s birthday! Tara is my blue skies, my fierce sister bear, my soulmate. She is a loving force for good. She is so soulful and mindful. She is also pretty smart for a neurotypicalish person. I couldn’t ask for a better personal assistant, manager andContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Tara!”

Poems from dear friends

Dear Friends, It has been a tiring week. But I want to share two poems that dear friends wrote for me when I broke my arm. They are also spellers and close to my age and they are in southern California. I so appreciated their instant compassion and their ability to speak to my feelings.Continue reading “Poems from dear friends”

Trying So Hard

Dear Friends, I am so thankful to you for your warm congratulations on my citizenship. I had a wonderful celebration with family and friends in our new back yard. The view was fantastic and the company even better! But dysregulation is back at me again. I am staving off the explosive rage and running around,Continue reading “Trying So Hard”

Happy Fourth of July

Dear Friends, Well, there is much to be disheartened by. The passage of that bill is so disappointing. Not surprising, but still disappointing. I am so sad and upset over it. It represents so much of what is wrong with this country, and its implications will be disastrous for many, including disabled people. So thatContinue reading “Happy Fourth of July”

My most precious person’s birthday

Dear Friends, I am so moved by your responses to my last post. Thank you for receiving my words. I am here to share lighter thoughts! It was my mom’s birthday this week. She is a sprightly seventy-six. I am so cherishing my life with her. We have a lovely home and routine. She isContinue reading “My most precious person’s birthday”

My Thoughts

Dear Friends, Well, I think some of you might not like what I have to say here. I know I once stated my desire to keep this page apolitical. That has been mostly what I have done. But it is hard to do so when my identity and existence and needs are entangled in politicalContinue reading “My Thoughts”
