My blog posts will sometimes be long, sometimes short or medium. When I write a post, I have two things in mind, the first is to give value and the second is to make it clear. I won’t be focusing on the length, but if it gets too long, I’ll split it up.
When I plan for a post, this is my outline (not all are shown in the actual post)
The topics and categories
(some may be 18+ and I’ll make sure you know before you begin reading)
The lessons and takeaways I want you to have from the post (1-3)
This will be similar to the summary
The post
The immediately actionable items (what can you do as soon as you finish reading)

There’s being happy and being in a wheelchair, being happy despite being in a wheelchair, being happy to be in a wheelchair, and probably infinite ways to say it such that there’s a subtle difference. Myself personally, I have only ever been happy despite being in a wheelchair. And that of course is important because …
I consider myself on the low end of accessibility because of everything I know I’m able to accomplish and have accomplished. Most of it with some help but a lot of it is just me figuring it out and using my strength and ingenuity. The larger part of it all is patience. Although not everything …
I was going to write about diapers, but then as I wrote this in my head, I found a larger topic to discuss. Here are my thoughts on discretion. The main issue anyone will encounter when going to the store and buying diapers as an adult is their ego. The issue that anyone who sees …
I was with my girlfriend, going to the grand Canyon National Park and she saw a sign about this, asked about it and this is what we were told. Any U.S. Citizen or permanent resident with a disability gets a FREE LIFETIME PASS to all national parks. This is usually $80 per 12months. You also …
I myself fall prey to thinking I’m the center of the universe. It sure seems like it most days. What am I saying here? Why not expect things to be perfect? A long time ago, I saw some people complaining over some very little things, people in wheelchairs. Once someone in a wheelchair wanted to …
Disclaimer: This is mainly for America, even though I’ve been abroad and the process is similar, I’m only certain about American commercial flights. 1. Where to begin when flying in a wheelchair? When going through the checkout process for buying airline tickets online, depending on the company, there will be an area within passenger information …
I could very well do a lot of things, unlike in the far past, nearly everthing today is accessible. It may cost more, but if you’re determined, you can do it. I know of a man who can’t move his arms and can barely stand up (ALS), yet he hunts. This is something I’m hoping …
A fair amount of people struggle to accept being in a wheelchair. It’s possible to not like it yet accept it simultaneously. Naturally, I hate it entirely but that doesn’t keep me from being happy, living a great life and doing what I want. I’m here, now. I was at the zoo with a some …
If you didn’t pay attention, you’d notice that you’ve missed nothing – I haven’t been posting on this website or on the youtube channel in a long time.
