✨ASK CHICKEN LITTLE 🐤✨
•
The moment chicken saw my new lavalier mics, he was BEGGING to help test them out. “Interview me!” He said.
So interview him I did. Introducing the 1st episode of “Ask Chicken Little!”
Today we’re finding out what it’s like having a disabled stepmom! ♿️✨
•
I can’t handle this kid and I’m so lucky to have him and his dad in my life. 😅 don’t worry, Chicken has already requested we record episode two soon! ❤️❤️❤️

✨THE PARALYMPICS START MARCH SIXTH!!!✨
•
So I thought it’d be a great opportunity to discuss why so few people ask how a Paralympic athlete competes at such high level of sports with a disability- why do they do it when they see a disabled healthcare worker??

She’s wearing a navy blue shirt that reads “TEAM USA: U.S. Paralympics” with an American flag in the center of the chest. She has on a bright red vest over her tshirt and navy blue scrubs pants. She’s seated in a black wheelchair.”]

I’ve worked in Healthcare for almost 18 years and I swear, the universe never fails to remind me just why I continue to work in this field despite every thing I’ve been through. ♿️❤️

Happy International Wheelchair Day Y’all! ♿️
Here’s a peak into my life as an overly independent wheelchair user who travels a lot! 😅

Yes, yes I’m always like this. 😅

Thanks for sharing my story (from 2021) Mind Menace! Next time, just don’t forget to give credit! 😉♿️❤️

After two years filled with applications, interviews, and countless rejections, I began to doubt myself due to the negative comments and messages I received. I thought I might never work as a bedside nurse again. Just when I was about to give up, I had one last interview for a position in a Mother/Baby Unit at a local level 1 trauma center. Given my past experiences, I assumed they would see my disability and decide against hiring me. To my surprise, when I mentioned my wheelchair, the response was different from what I expected. They said, “I don’t see why being in a wheelchair would impact your ability to deliver good nursing care in the slightest...plus, you’re the perfect height to catch.” 😉
I was absolutely stunned. I kept thinking, “They must have made a mistake,” or “Maybe I misheard them.” I was so shocked that I hardly told anyone until I had my orientation schedule in hand. But it was real, and I didn’t mishear a thing. On Monday, I will begin my orientation as a nightshift staff nurse on the Mother/Baby Unit, and I’ll be the hospital’s very first RN on wheels. 🤗 I still can’t shake the feeling that I’m going to wake up from this amazing dream. Please keep me in your thoughts as I transition into this very different specialty! Stay tuned for my journey back into the world of bedside nursing, ON WHEELS! 😷♿️

✨7 Years of this Nurse on Wheels! ♿️✨
•
I cannot believe that it has been seven years since the first day I ever used my wheelchair to work in the hospital setting. Seven years of:
“are you sure you’re my nurse?”
“Is that MY wheelchair?”
And of course, “Slow down before you get a speeding ticket!” 😂
•
But it has also been seven years of:
“I can’t believe you’re my nurse! You understand what I’m going through!”
“You’re in a wheelchair like me! So I CAN work once I heal up!”
“Thank you for showing me I can do this.”
•
7 years ago I rolled into work that day having NO idea what I was getting into. Would my coworkers treat me differently? Would my patients take me seriously?
Turns out, the only real barriers that made returning to nursing in my wheelchair difficult were 1- My own lack of confidence in myself and 2- inaccessibility. I am so thankful for the CM team that welcomed me on board back then without thinking twice about my wheels. And for every team since that has welcomed me and my rainbow wheels with open arms ever since.
•
I would be lying if I said every day in this journey has been smooth- would have this much content posted over the last 7 years if that was true- but every single day I have rolled through the hospital doors has been a day where I made someone else’s day better just by coming to work. And for me, that’s all that really matters ♿️🏥✨

I started blogging my life on the interwebs via good ole about 16 years ago. Some of y’all remember those days of peaceandstarlight rambling about her latest hyperfixation- usually Klaine from GLEE 😅
•
So now you that have a big of background, you can appreciate the joy surrounding my latest hyperfixation- Heated Rivalry. Cause y’all know my fluid self LOVES 1- male presenting characters expressing emotion and 2- bisexual/fluid sexuality represented well- and this d*mn show/book series delivers BOTH so well I don’t even know where to start. ❤️🏒🇨🇦
•
All this being said, I wanted to do an FYI:
Yes I have watched the series and reheated it A LOT.
Yes I have read all the books and want to talk to you about it.
NO, you should NOT tell me you are also obsessed unless you want me to flood your inbox with all things HR. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. 🏒❤️🇨🇦

✨Disabled Bodies Are Beautiful✨
•
I’m a millennial, I’ve been shooting photoshoots in my bedroom since I had access to a camera. I noticed recently though, that the older I get, the less photos of my body I seem to take. The more I catch myself trying to hide the more obvious signs of disability when I am in front of the camera. So last night I took a shower, got comfortable and took some photos. Then I wanted to get fancy and add some inspiring text…but I’m me, so it devolved into the MySpace edits you see before you. You’re welcome. 😅😅😅
•
My body may not look like the ones on magazine covers (yet), but my body is MINE. It has kept me alive for 34 years and is still fighting to keep us going no matter how many ways I put her through her paces (and then some). I am SO incredibly proud of my bendy meat cage: bruises, scars, furry legs, sh*t bag, floppy legs and all! ♿️❤️
