  • Neurodivergent

    Last week, I looked up the phrase “Neurodivergent.” I’ve started seeing this term used on social media and felt the need to become more informed. Having never come across this phrase during my clinical Social Work studies, I was surprised to learn that it was coined in 1998 and refers to people whose brains develop…

  • No resolutions

    This year, I resolve to make no resolutions. This will be a new year and I will make the best of it in whatever ways present themselves. The idea of making promises to improve just because it’s a new year doesn’t work because, if you don’t’ see an immediate payoff, you lose your determination. Resolving…

  • not my Storey, but My Problem

    I saw a story that made me sad and angry. I shared it on Twitter so that others would see it and become just as outraged. The only person who replied to it, got angry at me because I didn’t change the text of the headline to fit the story’s content. I just used the…

  • Tapping the Charcoal

    For the blind of this country tomorrow is bright with promise. We believe in the future; we believe in ourselves; and we believe in the goodwill of our sighted friends and associates. We will put the batteries in our clocks; we will pour coffee for ourselves and others; and we will tap the charcoal-but we…

  • Tough Stuff

    I wrestled with an alligator. I tussled with a whale. I handcuffed lightning, I thrown thunder in jail. Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick. I’m so mean I make medicine sick.” Muhammad Ali

  • Its Your World

    This is your world, live for it, love while you live, and live for the love that you find from others when they give.

  • Podcasting Thoughts

    When I was a podcaster, I did it for fun. I wasn’t about making money, changing people’s opinions, or even building an audience. If I wasn’t having fun it wasn’t worth doing. Today, as a listener, it seems like the hosts are all about making money with their sub-par performances. One of my favorite shows…

  • On Service

    Four guys in heaven were arguing one day, and St. Peter asked what they were arguing about.One responded, “We were arguing about what branch of the service was best.”St. Peter said he would pose the question to God, and God would publish a memo in about a week. A while later a memo arrived. The…

  • Internet Nutrality

    I really wish someone could, in all seriousness, give me the TL-DR summary on why a data cap from my ISP is necessary. Everything I’ve read about the subject from a US perspective just says caps are needed in order to provide “fair”, tiered services at different price points based on speed and usage. Meaning,…

  • On Life

    Life is NOT about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
