Happy Valentine’s Day! Well, here I am. It’s been two years since my SDR surgery. Yes, it’s unbelievable. Though, time tends to do that. Move forward. It’s been a tough couple years in terms of all the recovering, physical therapy and personal training. Like I’ve said, SDR recovery takes work. Discipline. Even so, I don’t… Continue reading Two

Shovel That Snow, Please
This past weekend, we got a lot of snow here in New York City. I always like looking at the snow from my bedroom. Especially when it’s nice and clean, undisturbed from city life. It’s pretty. Wished it snowed last month in time for Christmas. Another topic. What I really want to talk about is… Continue reading Shovel That Snow, Please
Gym –– Better Than Tv

It’s unfair to be asked that society asks such a thing. Plus, constant positivity is not truthful. It’s not real. I’ve had plenty… Continue reading Greatest Expectations
Resolutions and Truths
My bad, I haven’t posted since last year…. Ok. That’s the first and only time I’ll make that kind of joke. Seriously, though… Happy New Year! Is it still acceptable to say that? It’s unbelievable that it’s mid January already. Such a weird and strange time as we head into what is unfortunately another year… Continue reading Resolutions and Truths
The Assumption of Shyness
Once I insisted on hiding my crutches whenever there was a camera pointed at me. I guess I wanted to feel like they didn’t constantly follow me everywhere I went, just for a moment. I was frustrated. Impatient. So I posed without them. Even if I lost my balance and fell over or looked awkward… Continue reading The Assumption of Shyness
