Hi! I figured I could put all of my videos up with the Fireside Chats project I helped Ottobock Healthcare create for more online content; and the *feels* of people who live with unique circumstances. This particular one is v close to my heart. Monica is a close friend of mine over the years and it was an absolute gift to be able to sit down and talk with her. (Then maybe… Read More
Howdy doodles- here is a revised version continuing my long post about #MeToo and more upsetting sex stuff… I was fortunate enough to be asked by Ottobock Healthcare to host their online web series, Fireside Chats, where I had the opportunity to talk to some AMAZING humans about their journey navigating life with limb differences; and how they’re turning their experience into a platform for others. In our inaugural episode, I… Read More
So this is a special edition of my CrazyLegs series in that, it isn’t necessarily a recount of a situation of dating while disabled… But I think it needs to be addressed… in multiple parts because what I wrote is L O N G G G G G G G G G G G First of all, let me humble brag about one of my former campers now over all badass, Brenna… Read More

*Let’s please acknowledge and appreciate my tie-dye/cat pendant necklace combo in my featured image. Thanks. 19 years ago it was May 19th, 1999. This photo is me with my grandma Joanie right after attending a Mass my school held for my family before heading to the hospital for my amputation. Fast forward those almost two decades and have a little chuckle about the sound bite that may have broken the internet… Read More
My doodles- I am so excited. When I knew my girls Mama Cax and Angel Giuffria were coming to town, I thought if I got a camera on us we would create some amazing content. It’s a LADIES brunch (a good friend male-friend-but-female-fan James was there also) during Women’s month JUST before Limb Loss Awareness Month. Are the stars aligning or nah?? Sure enough, we finally found a way to get together…. Read More
Okay. So I hesitated doing this… But this Crazy Legs post is from ME. I need to mention, I FREAKING LOVE VALENTINE’S DAY. I seriously LOVE love, and yes we should acknowledge and show it to our partners regularly… but, I also think participating in a day doing something (even if it’s corny) that celebrates love is a good thing. So, I was deep in my feels, y’all. This Valentine’s… Read More
Sunday, February 4th 2018 is World Cancer Day. I was asked to share a little hopeful history with my own experience having had cancer. It doesn’t just affect the one person diagnosed. It’s effects are felt by everyone. And we are not alone. Please watch:
Here is a textual conversation I had with a close friend about some first date protocol: I just want to be clear in that my wisdom ONLY comes from learning all of these life lessons the hard way… (She is a smarty-pants medical student at a REALLY good med school) I am CONSTANTLY revisiting the concept of dealing with people who have disabilities finding themselves in situations where they feel a… Read More
