Jan, 21st 2022. I thought I knew pain before this date. I was sorely mistaken. The words don’t exist to describe this, so I won’t try. But I do have the words to describe the gratitude for everything that makes this pain possible.

Am I More Than A Disability?
I’ve been disabled for over seven years now. It’s been hard but it’s been amazing. Sometimes I feel like it’s all too much to handle, sometimes I feel like I might be the luckiest guy on the planet. Today I don’t feel so lucky. I know I have it quite good considering, I know thingsContinue reading “Am I More Than A Disability?”

It’s funny how we can find some truly brilliant people in some unlikely/unexpected circumstances. It has been 4 months since my last post and an interesting 4 months it’s been. Basically I had a bit of a health scare but fortunately I received the right care and medical attention before anything got too out ofContinue reading “In Him I See Myself”

Tinsel & Turkey?
Before 2007, I had never seen snow, let alone a white Christmas. Snow, pine trees and Christmas dinner (i.e. English Christmas dinner) were all part of “TV” Christmas and were only imitated back home (with the exception of the food. Nothing has matched up to mom’s cooking to date). As much as I looked forwardContinue reading “Tinsel & Turkey?”

It’s not very well known that I love talking about how I ended up in a wheelchair… a lot… no seriously, a whole lot. Of course it can make for some awkward conversation with me laughing at being in a near fatal accident, or trying to tell someone with a straight face, “I got offContinue reading “MY BLOG: WHY I NEED YOU TO KNOW MY STORY”
For A Friend
Life is short, Too short not to be lived, Too short not too be shared, A gift to be grateful for, Deserving of our utmost care. Life is precious, Not easily made, Very quickly lost, So to extra years we look to upgrade, But all in all at what cost. Life is our most preciousContinue reading “For A Friend”
Musings: Love Is An Enigma
Love is an enigma… or at least that’s how it seems to most people. It’s sad that something so beautiful, strong and so abundant in all of us can cause so much pain just because we don’t let it all out. We all have the power to create joy and happiness from nothing just byContinue reading “Musings: Love Is An Enigma”
