Help My Road to Rio!
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
Hi everyone! I am deep into the competition season, so not a ton of writing (but new content coming soon I promise) but I want to share a little secret diddy that I’m working on this month… Along with a select group of athletes, I have been chosen byAthletes for Hope to work on a collective initiative to GROW philanthropy in the sports world. You can also learn more about them with this… 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
WARNING: Language is rated R in this post Okay. I have been waiting WAY too long to post this. So I have a friend through track who is a TOTAL BOMBSHELL BABE. Like, think Jessica Rabbit but with a better tan and an Aussie accent. She also uses a wheelchair and has like… her entire life. She has some incredible exchanges she shares with her social media following and let’s… Read More
Hey- Happy New Year! This year I have been 10000% over the long-drawn out, deep-and-meaningful farewells to the year we left behind. Mostly, because 2017 was kind of shitty for me… That’s neither here nor there. Something cool I saw though is people are sharing their reading lists from the past year. I am inviting myself to share the 15 books I can remember reading from 2017. (Occasionally with a… Read More
Hi Friends! It’s been a while- and I am taking a quick break to post one of the most recent articles I wrote that was published by my friends at the Amputee Coalition with their magazine InMotion. Coincidentally; this article has nothing to do with disability and everything to do with managing life as it comes. You can see it here! OR ALSO here is just the text if for whatever reason I didn’t… Read More
