It was awesome to finally get my back in the air after almost a year of being down for upgrades and maintenance. Shout out to my friend Jeff for flying with me, giving me a ride, and having to slow his all the way down just to keep in formation with me.

There’s a part of my day that doesn’t exist for you.

The hours lost fixing something you can’t ignore.
The extra miles you didn’t plan for.
The time spent just trying to get back to baseline.

Living with a disability isn’t just about the visible moments. It’s the constant, unaccounted-for friction that shows up in the middle of an otherwise normal day.

I wrote about two recent examples that cost me time, energy, and productivity, not because anything went wrong, but because this is what “normal” looks like.

This isn’t a feel-good story. It’s reality.

The Hidden Cost of Disability

WAKE UP. Just last week, I had the opportunity to do my first acting role. I joined Beata Pozniak's team for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge short film contest to bring "Wake Up" to life, which was just released today!

This was a whirlwind of an experience, where the piece was written, filmed, and put through post-production in just over 3 days (which I'm told is not normal for the film industry).

Now, I need you to go watch it on Facebook and Youtube. Like it, comment it, and share it with your friends.
