Holy Canoli! It’s been 10 years since I was in my motorcycle accident that changed my life dramatically! A DECADE living from a wheelchair! I cannot believe it’s been that long. Seems like yesterday I was participating in physical therapy to learn how to complete daily life functions or activities of daily living (ADLs). I…
Read More The Decade ChairversaryI don’t know ab out ya’ll, but keeping up with housework is hard work! And, I do not like it. I struggle to keep my house in order on a daily basis with working full time and going to the gym five or six times a week. I never really cared for chores or keeping up…
Read More Maintaining a HouseI’m so excited that I finally get to share this news with everyone! For the past ten years, I have been teaching for Wooster City Schools. I have enjoyed this time and have grown and learned so much about myself, education, and life in general. However, throughout the past ten years, I have become…

Read More Inner StrengthHi everyone! I am back and ready to write again. Over the past couple of months, I have been going through some things emotionally. I’m sure when the time is right, I will share, but for now, I am going to keep it vague. In January, I lost a grandparent and it hit me harder…
Read More Life’s Curve Ball“New Year, New Me!” How many of you have proclaimed this year after year, to only give up or forget about your new year’s resolutions within a month or two?

Read More New Year’s GoalsThree weeks ago, I wrote about gratitude and appreciation, since it was Thanksgiving. Even though Thanksgiving brings out the best in many people, this is something that we should be doing every single day. Therein lies the power of positivity. I am not a morning person, whatsoever!

Read More Power of PositivityI think I have been stuck in a rut for a little bit now. I have been working hard on my Master’s degree (that I now do not know if I want to finish), trying to work full time, still trying to get to the gym for at least an hour everyday, AND fit in…
Read More Personal Growth/Mindset MondayHave you ever been in the middle of an activity (workout, homework assignment, work-related activity, anything) and ever thought, “Gee, I wonder if I could…” Well, that happened to me the other day when I was working out with my friends.
