One month ago, I wrote about making a choice. I didn’t elaborate on it at the time, as I wasn’t sure how long it would last. I marked the occasion as a reference point, so I could talk about it later when I felt the time was right – which is now. Today marks one …
Our first Valentine’s Day together, Matt gave me a japor snippet. A hand carved wooden replica of the necklace Anakin Skywalker gave Padme’ Amidala. Even in those early days together, he knew me so well – of course I loved it. A few years later, Matt proposed at the filming location where Anakin and Padme’ …
It seems January is the month for making changes and choices. Today I found myself making a big choice. For a change of pace, this wasn’t something forced upon me by life or a diagnosis. In fact, this choice was all about taking control. The past couple of months have felt quite out of my …
