Books almost always have chapters for ease of navigation. The chapters are almost always listed in a table of contents. -Wikipedia
My how things would be different if this were true to the chapters of life. Our chapters are not for ease of navigation and a table of contents will certainly not be found at [...]
Starting writing is always the hardest for me because it always starts with my scripted excuses of why I haven?t been doing it enough, thanking everyone for the constant ongoing support which I am still thriving off of and apologies for not getting back to as many of you as I wish I could? so [...]
Seven months? God time has been flying by! I realize I?m not writing here nearly often enough and I apologize to those of you who have checked back in on me and haven?t found anything for the past little while. When I finally found a moment to write here today I looked back at my [...]
I’ve been asked a bunch lately why I don’t write in my blog anymore, and it’s a good question. Writing here seemed to be therapeutic for me through certain stages of my injury and rehabilitation and I think it still is, just realistically I don?t have a lot of time in my day-to-day to give [...]
A true community is hard to find these days. I grew up in a town where you couldn’t drive down the highway without waiving at every single car that passed. Not only did we greet each other but also we looked after one another. The adults in the community didn’t avoid the children and the [...]
I apologize I haven’t written here lately, it has been a challenge to stay in touch with everyone and even though I know this is the best way to do it, it’s been hard to find a moment to write here. I want to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone for their [...]
So it’s been 6 months and 7 days since Riley’s accident and this was supposed to be his “golden timeâ€Â. The time in which you get the most back because hopefully, by now the swelling has gone down around the contusion. However last week on Tuesday Riley woke up and he had without warning lost [...]
Hey everyone I apologize if you tried to stop by the blog lately as the server has been down. Good news, obviously back up!
Things are still going very good out here in California, I would finally consider us settled in! Katrina surprised me with a elaborate edit suite so my place of work is now [...]

Throughout this injury the one thing that has really kept me moving in the right direction is my friends. I must say I am blessed to have so many amazing ones! The notes, cards, calls and energy I have recieved from all of you has been a huge inspiration for me and makes it really [...]
Well we made it! Tomorrow will mark two weeks since our arrival in CA and time is flying, as it seems to do these days. I meant to check in on the blog sooner but getting settled has taken a little while. We are still not fully settled in by any means but everyday we [...]
I have spoken to Riley a few times since he and Katrina landed in California, and it’s clear they’re gradually becoming comfortable in their new home. They are renting a great apartment in the ‘nice part’ of San Pedro, and Riley is loving the spacious floor plan (lots of rehabilitative laps in his chair) and [...]

Riley’s presence at the Freeskier Magazine gathering on Saturday afternoon was [...]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The bright orange stickers were plastered all over at the Winter X Games, affixed to helmets, buildings, tops of [...]
I finally broke today. My last class was functional skills and today’s task was shaving, I spent the better part of an hour looking at myself in the mirror, and for the first time in my life I could not recognize myself. I know I am still the same face but the person inside me [...]
