My Bucket List (to be continued)
There have been some things happening in my life lately have made me really think about all the things I want to do before I die…or the world ends in December. Whichever comes first. (Kidding, kidding people.) Anyway, it’s interesting when you think about what you really want in life how some things are really [...]
Recent Photography…
I’ve never been much of a photographer, which is ironic seeing as both of my major design projects in college were books that involved taking a ton of pictures. Lately, though, I’ve really gotten into it. I think my interest in photography started several years back during my favorite past time – going to concerts. [...]
I am NOT a baby!
For those of you who do not have a copy of my newly published book, Looking Up, here is another little sneak peak as to what you can find inside! WHAT? The most annoying thing about having my disability is the preconceptions that others have about me just because I’m in a wheelchair. It [...]

Excuses, excuses.
“Work ethic is a set of values based on hard work and diligence. It is also a belief in the moral benefit of work and its ability to enhance character.” -Someone Very Smart I’ve always said that one of my greatest pet peeves is lazy people. There’s really no polite way to say it. It [...]
Ode to Friendship
This blog was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my closest friends the other day about what it really means to be a friend. We compared people in our lives, situations we’ve been in, and these are the conclusions I’ve come to since. True friendship is one of the most important gifts [...]
Newest Frustration
Two nights ago my mom and I went out to dinner with my aunt and uncle at a restaurant in uptown New Orleans, which shall remain nameless. The restaurant is known for its great food and unique atmosphere, and is said to be one of the best restaurants in the area. The service is great, [...]
