Ocean time

Dear Friends, Another ocean day! It was such a nice, sunny, summer’s day. It was so nice to get in the water! I am feeling so much better. A mellow week helped me rest up. And I was so ready to end this hot week with water time! So I was all smiles and gigglesContinue reading “Ocean time”

Calmer

Dear Friends, I am much calmer now. Thank goodness. That was rough. And I am still a bit on edge, but I am managing it. Honestly, I have very little idea what triggered it. There are many possibilities. But what really helped me internally was knowing so many of you feel like I have helpedContinue reading “Calmer”

An Awful Time

Dear Friends, Oh my goodness. I have been having a terrible time. It is the worst dysregulation in a long time. I could barely enjoy my birthday party on Saturday, though I was so grateful to have some of my best friends with me. It was such a nice evening. But I was all swirlingContinue reading “An Awful Time”

Forty

Dear Friends, I am 40 today! That is so wild. I am in disbelief. Frankly, I am struggling with mixed feelings. I am surprised how difficult this milestone feels. It is a lot of grief for the decades spent without communication. It is a lot of dismay for how difficult my life still is. ItContinue reading “Forty”

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”

Another Motormorphosis!

Dear Friends, Oh my goodness, I am exhausted and overjoyed and full of new amazing memories! What an unforgettable experience at #Motormorphosis2025! Wow. I love this community. And I feel so loved. I don’t know how to write a post that can capture the essence of this weekend. But I will say that having myContinue reading “Another Motormorphosis!”

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”
