Advocacy, Access, and Movement for the Silenced.
Others don’t understand. To be honest it’s hard to explain. I am surrounded by my wife and daughter and at other times a host of friends and family. Yet I can be with a group of people who have gathered on my account and feel completely all alone. This in no way diminishes the care…
Back when computers were the size of small cars and well before the internet was available to the public, there came the release of a sci-fi film by the name of 2001: Space Odyssey. It was an entry into the man vs. machine genre that dates back to at least 1927. The common theme? Machines…
Moments frozen in time. Some are fairly recent, but some are more than fifty years old. Whether new or old, they are just about all happy. It is difficult in fact for me to think of an unpleasant memory easily. Even past relationships that failed and unpleasant life events I’d sooner forget, it seems I…
It’s frustrating when I first wake up. Often my Eye Gaze machine needs to be calibrated and I can’t control where the red indicator box that shows me the letter or key that my eyes are focused on is selecting. I will be looking at one letter and the indicator square will show up at…
Wednesday, as everyone is well aware, will be Valentine’s Day. So I’d like to wish everybody a happy and safe holiday with your sweetheart. Tuesday the 13th will mark Jonell and my 31st year of marriage! I know I speak of her often, but my words are all I have to give. Though we still…
I have discovered a website that is called Locked in Trust and it has brought me both joy and sorrow. Reading the stories of others who have experienced the same hurdles and obstacles that I have made me cry a lot remembering back. It also made me realize how resilient we can be when we…
We are either running to something or running from something. While the first scenario is preferable to the second, unfortunately, it’s not usually the case. Often it is our past that so doggedly pursues us. Keeping us from reaching that which our heart desires. You’re not good enough, the voices begin to sing their chorus….
A lazy Sunday afternoon, and I just woke from a nap. The girls are enjoying a rare nap themselves. After an overnight low of -5, today only managed to climb to a high of 1 degree. That’s unusually cold for where we live in southeast Missouri. Combined with the windy conditions we reached an overnight…
Time passes both slow and fast at once. While it passes slow when I write or am waiting for something. I am awed by the speed at which payments become due again (Didn’t I just pay that?) and people age, myself in particular. I am almost certain that it was only yesterday that my Mom…
Listening to music is very cathartic for me. Having been a DJ for a good portion of my life, I was exposed to a great variety of genres. Of course, my many years of listening to the radio with the likes of Casey Kasem and many others like him didn’t hurt either. Sometimes I’ll just…
