Beauty-Mark
June 28, 2013 in they call her love...It’s been a day of resting, writing, editing & missing my people.. But after 12+ hours in bed, a girl needs a little activity. So I took a small stroll (yes, carefully Mom) to get some fresh air. By my apartment pool, there is...
All I need is love
June 26, 2013 in all things Spina bifida, they call her love...It’s the second day of being in bed, and I must admit: this pain has been narly. As mentioned in previous writings, I have memories of enduring this as a little girl… It would be an all-nighter of crying out, watching Beauty & the...
World’s STRONGEST Man
June 16, 2013 in they call her love...When I was 4 or 5, I underwent a major reconstructive spine surgery. I had to, because this little bony spur decided to wreak havoc on my spinal cord, even before I entered the world. So after much poking and prodding, therapy and consults.....
A Dreamy White Christmas
December 26, 2012 in they call her love...The Weir / Cash / Strother clan held our very 1st Christmas Eve Slumber Party. The little ones (Ty & Asher) weren’t going to be with us Christmas morn, so the adults had to come up with SOMETHING to keep us preoccupied. Honestly, it...
Holly Hearts Goblins
October 30, 2012 in all things Spina bifida, just for fun, they call her love...Halloween comes but once a year, frightening the masses.

I may have mentioned this hang-up once or twice,...
A girly-girl’s girl.
October 19, 2012 in they call her love...I’m a girly-girl… & was literally BORN obsessed with pink. Over the years, I like to think the admiration has evolved into more ‘sophisticated’ shades: Fuchsia..Maroon..Coral.. but let’s get real: bright pink, dark pink, light pink. I can’t help it. Pink is my signature color....
A beauty, but a funny girl
September 9, 2012 in all things Spina bifida, holly-reviews, they call her love...All-time FAVORITE movie: Disney’s “Beauty and The Beast”… & yes, that’s me sporting serious devotion. Every little girl finds that one princess to relate to. Mine happens to be Belle, or rather, her tale. I love every thing about this character. I love her...
“You make 29 look good”
September 4, 2012 in all things Spina bifida, they call her love...This was a compliment received over & over again yesterday. Wowza – I’m lucky that loved ones see, more importantly feel, this about me. The day was packed with silly surprises, big-time laughter & incredible waves of love flooding in from every little corner...
