10/12/18: A Quiet House
When, in an evening, your children collaborate instead of fight, and the house is quiet. And the gates of heaven open, and angels sing…
10/11/18: Never Alone
When you wake up early, and take your meds, and get on the foam roller and stretch your body awake, and then get on Facebook, and no one is on yet, but then you watch, starting at 5:55 AM Eastern Standard Time, as the little green circles next to your Friends’ names start to come on, one by one, like stars coming out, or little suns rising…

Keep feelin’ those feels, friends, with a buddy if you need to. And keep breathin’.
9/26/18: The Hamstring That Was Patched Up With Polyester Tape
The Daily Mail article, The torn hamstring that was patched up with polyester tape!
Love this so much. Christina’s a friend I made on the Facebook group mentioned in the article. My hamstring tendons were only retracted 3cm – vs. her 10 cm – so they didn’t need the reinforcement tape described here, but what a great educational piece about the rare injury she and I share – some folks who sustain this injury take months or even years to find the correct diagnosis, proper care, and surgeon who knows how to perform the surgery. H/T to Victoria Valentine for starting the group, which has provided valuable information & saved my heart these past 9 months.

8/26/18: The Truth
Den of Positivity, 8.5 mo PO:
I hate that this injury has woken up a number of impairments in my body that I’d obviously been adapting to and fine with, until I pulled my hamstrings out of the Jenga stack: rotator cuff…thoracic spine…lumbar spine…knees…
…I do like that I’m experiencing the most common pains/limitations my personal training clients are plagued by. Now I know how they feel. And I’m learning how to navigate & manage those pains. So thanks for that, Universe. I guess.
I also love Brian Friedman & Maddie Ziegler (in pink). So there’s that, too.
