There are just some people in our lives that make it so hard for us to like them?
We’ve probably all come across people where something we say that seems totally innate, will turn into a massive argument with us feeling more frustrated that we’re having to fight our corner and still we …
Read on »If there is anyone out there with cerebral palsy who can relate to sensory problems, I would love to hear from you. It is common for those of us with cerebral palsy to experience abnormal sensation and perception. Not knowing I had cerebral palsy, these are the things I’m having to work through for the first time.
Although this is something I have experienced my whole life, I have only recently been able to make sense of it, since I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy in my forties. The source is the central nervous system …

I suppose the good part is that I’ve not taken a step back, but it would be great if I could take just one step forward. I’m looking forward to another week’s writing, but would also love to have more of a …
