The Splendor of the Struggle: Muscle and the Shadow of FSHD

There is a kind of strength that does not shout. It is not inked into record books, nor summoned for camera flashes. It whispers its presence in quieter places: in the early morning lift of a spoon by a hand that yesterday trembled; in the decision to train on a body unsure if it will reward the effort; in the battle between the will and the wasting.

I have seen this strength. And I am here to tell you: it is beautiful.

For those with FSHD, the iron is not a game but a paradox. The same fibers that hunger to grow are the very ones marked for slow erasure. It is as though the temple is crumbling while the mason is still at work — placing brick upon brick, undeterred. Some would call it madness. I call it grace.

And oh, how mysterious the returns! There are weeks when monumental effort brings no progress — only soreness and silence. And yet, curiously, there are days when a modest session, a gentle contraction, yields more strength than logic would predict. The disease is not linear. Neither is the triumph. Sometimes the muscle remembers. Sometimes it forgets. But always, the lifter remembers.

To grow a muscle when it is programmed to die — what a strange and noble rebellion. And more than rebellion: a celebration. A fleshy hymn to possibility.

Of course, there are no trophies for this. There is no audience. Only the quiet intimacy between a soul and its scaffold — one promising, against all odds, to remain standing a little longer. Some will grow. Some will not. But all who try, truly try, walk in a sacred lineage: not unlike the old-timers of York who trained with nothing but thick bars, hard benches, and unpurchased dreams.

In the old days, the greatest prize was not the medal but the day itself — a day of honest exertion, surrounded by others who knew that strength was not just performance, but presence. So too now, for those with FSHD: the greatest victory may be found not in how much is lifted, but that lifting continues.

In a world so eager to measure, let us pause and behold the unmeasurable: the courage to train a fading muscle, the wisdom to savor a small gain, the sheer poetry of a body that answers back — however faintly — to the call to grow.

I believe this is the rarest kind of beauty.

And it should be named.

Now, lift some weights and eat some protein.

By which I mean, more protein. Maybe exclusively protein, now, after reading this, when your dreams have been inspired.

Decentralize.

Let people live and grow and create and brainstorm and learn in an environment that they make themselves, and gives them choices and that also got handed down to them from their heritage and cultures and parents.

Support farmers.

Farmers are willing and eager to adopt more regenerative farming practices.

Let’s support that transition.

Let’s support our farmers.

Tenant/Manager in Reading, Pennsylvania
I am looking a long-term partnership to create immersive educational health and nutrition experiences – you in the Pennsylvania home and me in the Maryland home. The partnership/job/residence starts with a person who is passionate about nutrition to be the on-location tenant/manager for my Reading, PA home which will be opening this summer as an AirBnB. We will gradually transition this home into a Heath Home Tourism (HHT) destination location, as I am doing the same with my Maryland home. I am looking for someone who is highly educated (either formally or informally) and passionate about nutrition and interested in learning more and exploring new paradigms for helping people through nutrition.
Job and Residence Description
(The job part is part time; however, it is a full time commitment. The job requires that you live on site in Reading, Pennsylvania, and it gives you the opportunity for an ongoing part-time job and the opportunity to collaborate and brainstorm with a licensed nutritionist to develop a new tourism paradigm, called Health Home Tourism (HHT), starting with the AirBnB model for connections and mutual helping. There are currently two sites which are being developed for this - Bethesda, MD (where Amanda Buxbaum, MS, CNS, LDN will be and lead) and Reading, PA (where I am currently looking for a live-in tenant/manager to be the lead there).
STAGE 1: AirBnB
The Reading,PA HHT destination site is currently being renovated to optimize what can be done there. The first step will be making it, simply, an AirBnb. I will want the tenant/manager there for the start of the AirBnb rentals. That should be ready by July 2021. The tenant will pay inexpensive rental for a room in a house. And she/he will get a cut of the AirBnB rental fees for being a manager of the rentals. There are two very different rental spaces. The basement space is a beautiful, industrial/funky, newly renovated, modern, private entranced, full apartment with complete kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, washer/dryer and living area. That can be rented for a relative high amount per night. The other space is simply another of the second-floor bedrooms in the main house, which would only draw a low rental amount. You and the renter would be sharing the hall bathroom.
STAGE 2: AirBnb to HHT
From the start, we will be in communication and will be brainstorming together on how to bring the Reading, PA AirBnB site, as well as the Bethesda, MD AirBnB site into a more vibrantly experiential stay, by including access to and guided experiences with health-promoting specialty foods, superfoods, supplements, kitchen equipment and kitchen recipes and techniques – let our creativity fly!! We will also be creating easy access to self-guided experiences in the bedroom and bathroom, such as a weighted blanket, yoga mats, individually packaged oils and instructions for oil pulling, etc.
The more that the spaces become health specialty spaces and the idea of Health Home Tourism (HHT) becomes more fleshed out, the more that the two rental spaces in Reading will be able to be rented for and, thus, the more of a managerial cut that you will get.
LOGISTICS:
You live at 1706 Klein Ave, Reading, PA 19602, in one of three upstairs bedrooms. Office space can be negotiated - using the large desk spaces on the first floor, or in the small room which is an "office".
You maintain all that is needed to rent via AirBnB.
• * The listing online
• * Communications with the potential guests and the guests that book
• * Basic cleaning and care of the inside and outside of the property especially between guests
You pay a basic low rent for a room in a house
You receive a generous cut of the fees which come in from renting the property
(The third bedroom may be possible to use as a massage room - if we keep the twin bed in there.)
You and I keep in communication about how to improve both the basic AirBnB experience, as well as the movements into the Health Home Tourism (HHT) experiences
Optional: We co-create health workshops and presentations together - which we both can use.
Job Requirements:
• a passion for nutrition as a fundamental tool for health
• a drive to learn more, do more, experiment more, experience more
• a curiosity about health and nutrition
• a drive to teach and nurture others
• a desire to teach and provide learning experiences for others
• a love of people!
Ideally the person has some formal training in health and nutrition, but that is not necessary, as long as the person is well read on health and nutrition, and ready to put new things that she/he learns into action into her/his life.
A massage therapist would be a great match, as would several other health-related professions which have a holistic perspective.
(A student would NOT be a good match because generally students graduate and often change where they live and what they do. The best candidate will be someone who is looking to stay l
