#InvisibileDisabilities Week!
Be kind to yourself.
Ignore the haters.
Be picky about what & who gets
some of your spoons.
Do what you can,
when you can.
Always, honor your core while
making others aware of their
misconceptions &
false information.

Continuously grateful for opportunities, support and healing. Yet with all the #ChronicIllnesses I have, #exhaustion & #fatigue are still the norm even when I’m #inspired, #motivated, & #energized by the work I love to do.

The first Saturday of October is for #ostomyawareness but I use the whole month. Grateful that science helped save my life when I was faced with #BladderCancer. I would not still be here without it. @uoaa-ostomy.bsky.social shout out to #EmmanuelJal for this beautiful song of strength & hope.

When your friends you haven’t seen in 3D since the conference you met at back in 2019 are flying out of CVG, you make the time to meet up, give hugs & break bread together! We may not have our Zoom connection today, but in person is so much better! …
