Last week A+ therapist and I were discussing how living with chronic illness requires one to be intentional in ways that get overwhelming at times and take the spontaniety out of life.

I had one of those moment’s this morning where the only thing I could do was laugh at the ridiculousness of the moment. My occupational therapist has me doing those brain exercise books or websites each day for 10-15 minutes to help challenge my brain and build new neural pathways. Today, I was working on…

A simple, 4 word question I get asked all the time and I wish the answer to this question was as simple. I often don’t know what to say to this question, but I often respond with, “It’s a day by day journey” or “Some things are better, some are worse, some are the same.”…
