The pursuit of…Something.
“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” ~ Walt Disney
Exploring El Matador Beach, Malibu, CA
If heights are not your thing, then skip hiking down, but if you can get past the fear and take in the gorgeous cliffside views and wander your way down the wooden steps then you will be in for a treat.
Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Recovery
It’s been 6 months of re-learning how to move my face. How to smile. Six months of depression, struggle, and well just plain sadness. I’ve had and still have shitty days and weeks.
Learning to Hike with a New Knee
I am challenging myself to get out explore and hike in SoCal. I've spent the last 14 years dealing with a knee that refused to do its job. Last year I went through TKR, Total Knee Replacement. This is going to be my #summertoremember
Don’t be a Natural Disaster
I spent the last two weekends hiking in Lake Elsinore and Antelope Valley walking amongst the poppies and thousands of other people. While many stayed on trails and followed the path, others climbed down steep slopes and hillsides…i.e natural disasters.
The Face of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
Understanding the word “patience”…learning to hate it. It is very hard to have patience when you are provided no END date. How long will it take me to recover? What medication should I take? Are there alternatives? Should I try acupuncture? Botox? Surgery? These are the questions that keep every Bell’s Palsy or Ramsay Hunt sufferer awake at night.
