So of all thing I’ve written in the past, this is the most likely to start arguments I really don’t want to have. I’m not sure why I feel the need to write about this. But I do. I walked away from Easter Sunday at church, but instead of reinforcing my faith, it filled me [...]

when the Ritz Carlton (which was great) tried to kill me
I’ve never had the treat of staying at a Ritz Carlton. So I was looking forward this trip to NOLA as a luxury. I was expecting a much higher standard of shampoo to jank. DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT. Now, let me start off by making sure I’m perfectly clear on certain points Our room was comped for the [...]
there’s a house…
There’s a house. In Florida. The first one Peter and I ever owned. The one we brought our babies homes to. Back when we never had a thought to what the future had in store. We had to leave that house to make that future in Georgia. Leaving people we trusted to take care of [...]
a joke right now seems almost too easy
Just when I get used to things, we switch them up. On purpose, or not, it’s part of teaching myself to relearn the old. Most may not understand. Life in the wheelchair hasn’t been the biggest change. Not having my right side working when I’m ride-side-dominant wasn’t THE transformation. Learning to live without “Lost” was [...]
letting tears out
I cried last night. I was reorganizing my closet, there was stuff I needed to move that was out of my reach. It hit me like a ton of bricks that I couldn’t reach a shelf my elementary schoolers could. The frustration just washed over me. There was no making it better by crying. It [...]
very heavy
I have lackings. Now, I’m not saying that so people will be all complimentary and reassuing. Although, if you want to mention bouncy hair I won’t kick you. But, I do have those moment when I feel the shortcoming. The shoes I can’t wear. The shelves I can’t reach. The jars I can’t open. When [...]
not all trolls live under bridges
Trolls can hurt any time they take what you say the wrong way. To be honest I have a certain amount of words to use. I CAN’T answer each person the way I’d like. Then to see my friends Catherine and Tanis going through these struggles with CHILDREN, it makes my blood boil. Because I [...]
where people in wheelchairs are told, “SUCKIT”
It’s not the easiest thing being in a wheelchair but I try not to complain because it’s better than the alternative. Then I go into a place that doesn’t just NOT accommodate handicap people, it seems to be totally unaware of how crappy their setup truly is. Welcome to Mattress Firm To make sure you [...]
it all starts with a nice letter
This past weekend I was charged up by what I felt was a MISSION. So, I wrote a letter and made some phone calls. In the near future I’m going to ask you all to take a minute and a stamp and get involved. I wrote this to APPLE today: (This letter SUCKED to write!!)(I [...]
the power of jealousy
This might come out the wrong way, and I’ll try to make you understand. I’m jealous of my friends. I have these friends that started something new and I’m totally eaten alive with jealousy. I’m not jealous of their success. They so deserve it. I’m not jealous of their accomplishments. There are none smarter, they [...]
this is the where i bang my head against the wall
Frustration. I’m knee-deep in it. I have these ideas. I explained it to someone as being the point in time when I work on scraps of paper. It’s hard to describe. Difficult to define. I want to draw a picture. It looks like soup. Thhhhhhat’s not right. So I’m stuck trying to make others see [...]
Impatient is a word that most people don’t dream about
It feels like something more should be happening. I go to massage therapy twice a week to try to make things that aren’t working…work. I do all the exercises that the therapists have shown me. I make the sounds, I form the expressions, I push on every crevice on my face. Progress remains slow and….always [...]
a story about a bed that isn’t racy in any way
It’s old. It’s seen four moves. It’s been where we brought three babies home to sleep. It’s where we dreamed of healthier days without colds and sniffles, then without cancer and strokes. The bed has seen MUCH better days. We always said we’d buy a new one, but other thing got in the way. It [...]
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.
