September Spinal Cord Injury Awareness- Sleeping
Position: Pressure sores can appear overnight simply from parts of your body laying on a bed. You don’t feel the pain in that area to repostion, so blood flow stops simply because that blanket wrinkle laid under your ankle too long, or your knees were touching while...The Possible Problem of this Year’s Election
The Kingdom of God is just that…a Kingdom. It is ruled by our King. We are His subjects and He is fair and just and kind to those who are loyal to Him. He takes care of us and He asks that we help Him care for this Earth and all within it. “And the Lord God took...2020…Following or Falling Apart
This was on my heart so early this morning when I awoke. I posted this to my Facebook page, but I want it here. I don’t want this lost in years of Facebook posts, but I want it here where I can find it, reread it and remember. I want always to remember. May I offer my...Song Series…”Somebody’s Praying”
The last two songs I have written about have been old hymns, but the title today is one I heard not long after I had been paralyzed. It was sung by Ricky Skaggs and it has never left my heart. I mentioned a couple weeks ago on Facebook, that I had a rough couple...Song Series…”The Love of God”
Y’all, I have become a crier. Seriously. I have NEVER been a crier! It has been so bad – me making sure that I am “strong” – that there have been times when I have wished I COULD cry! I read my Bible and as I am talking to the Lord, I...Song Series – “There is a Balm in Gilead”
Music speaks to my soul. David encouraged himself in the Lord and I have no doubt, that as a musician, music was one of chief weapons against discouragement. This series will highlight songs that have comforted my soul. I have been using this CBD mixture (CBD oil,...So Many Changes…
This past year has been something else. A LOT of changes have happened in my life. Some I can share, and some I will not share for the sake of others involved. I know it has been forever since I have written here and I have missed it! However, too many major irons in...SCI Awareness and Secondary Conditions
I remember early on in my spinal cord injury, one of my doctors said “You know, people with spinal cord injuries really have a pretty normal life expectancy that is comparable to everyone else!” Since I was already pretty traumatized and not sure I was...SCI Awareness…”I never knew…”
Today’s SCI Awareness post is written by my friend Roberta Noack Palmer and shared with her permission… There’s so much more to a SCI than just not being able to walk. Until I joined this club I had no idea of what life would be like living with a...A Little About Me
In March of 2009, while expecting my 6th baby, I contracted Transverse Myelitis - a rare illness that left me paralyzed from my chest down. It has changed my life in many horrible and wonderful ways. I love to talk about it all. The good, the bad and the ugly.
It is always raw and real around here as I share my work in advocacy and accessibility, my heart for the spiritual lessons learned, music that speaks my soul, work and ideas that keep my family fed and my love for my precious blessings.
Welcome.
I have no story without this one! Please watch!
Can I Help?
