We live in a digital age. My kids will never experience a world where information and entertainment is at their fingertips. One of the biggest steps has been in You Tube. Whether you are are a musician, vlogger, humorist or brand this is the way to connect with you, the viewer. What are you viewing? Stuff like [...]
i wish i was on a beach somewhere
By the time you’re reading this I’m either having surgery on my left eye for the double vision or I’m recovering from the surgery. Unfortunately, neither option involves Ryan Reynolds. Big thanks to Pete for helping me out with this very nerve-wracking day. Since I’ll be out of commission I’ll replay an old post from [...]
i’m special, didn’t you know?
I went the peer training for survivors of brain injuries. We are learning to help new patients with the changes they are dealing with and give them a caring ear whenever needed. It was a learning experience for me in some respects. I DO live a portion of my life in view of others. I [...]
How can you WILLFULLY hurt others?
I wrote a post this week about food preferences, race and love. It wasn’t meant to make any point. There wasn’t any great stand to be made. It was just telling you that these were my feelings. They weren’t going to change. Then I read about Dominic Sheahan-Stahl. A man who was invited to be [...]
stealing moments
I have a history of grand larceny. I stupidly shoplifted when I was a teenager. You know, the stealing on chap stick when you have money in your pocket. Let’s not even talk about the early 90′s. I was a walking after-school special. When I was a new mother I learned the horror of lifting the baby out [...]
will I see you in Florida?
During the trip to Florida next week there a ton of people I’d love to see or meet but a limited amount of time. So, to make it super easy for us to get together I’ve planned a meetup in Brandon (near Tampa). Now, you’re definitely invited even if this is the first time I will get [...]
how you grow your hair out
To grow your hair out you have to go through an AWKWARD STAGE. It’s one of the big reasons I can never grow my hair out. My awkward stage is SO FREAKING AWKWARD! Don’t believe me? If’ and and had a baby, you’d get: I can hear you laughing.
balls!
INTRODUCING THE GREAT ANISSINI! FAMOUS ACROSS THE LANDS! SOUGHT FAR AND WIDE FOR HER INCREDIBLE SKILLS! WATCH HER JUGGLE FIFTY BALLS AND NEVER DROP ONE! All while she bakes a pie and burps the “Star Spangles Banner” in Spanish. There are days ans times I feel that pressure more than others. In asking myself, there’s [...]
i have to tell my truth
Deciding you want to split up a marriage is never a cut and dried thing. Rarely, walked away from with both sides feeling chipper. Even with the most adult, civil, for-all-the-right-reasons break the hurt is massive. Never just one-sided. No one walks down that aisle, puts their hands in anther’s and think, “This will do [...]
the rubix cube of separation
The choice to not be married came with the decision to be alone. For a lot of people that thought is scary and daunting bur it comes with an extra layer of difficulty for me. Now, don’t mistake me. I’m not thinking about dating anyone. I could care less about some faceless guy. But being [...]
hotter than you thought i was
I can’t regulate the temperature on half my body. On my stroke-effected side I don’t have the ability to cool off, so I’ll bust out in a sweat for no reason. On one side. For no reason. When the other side is actually cold. How screwed up is THAT? So yes, I will sweat for [...]
words trapped inside
We sat together and made a list. I told her what to write “What IS Great About Being In The Hospital“. I don’t remember the whole thing, but I do remember that one of the things on my list was “gravy”. Bless their hearts. There was gravy on everything. That was the first thing thing [...]
how I got involved with the @StowCompany #OrganizedGive campaign
The Stow Company is a company that produces custom closets. I met Mike Wolf (from the Stow Company) and Molly Gold (from Go Mom) last year at the Type-A-Parent. conference I got to know them better when I asked them to get involved in the Love Drop for a little girl with a brain tumor [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.
