It does not matter how long your legs are, you can only take one step at a time.

When shit gets real, remember to smile and grace(fully) hold onto yourself with open hands so that you’re always open to receiving L•O•V•E. #littlelegsbigheart #differentlyabled #iamtitanium #thisismyyoga #holdon 📸: @chelseagatesmedia

When I was a little girl I would simply ignore or laugh at people when they told me I couldn’t do something. In my mind, I thought they were telling me out of concern for my safety or to show authority. As I grew older, I became more aware of society’s tendency to single out individuals with any kind of difference; physical, emotional, etc. And then I realized that I fell into that category — because my arms and legs were short and I did things just a little differently. Society’s idea of perfection still exists; a smokescreen that clouds everything that makes us unique and beautiful. One that is ever changing and obtuse. We can’t necessarily prevent these ideas of perfection from evolving AND we can consistently tell ourselves (and others) that we are beautiful, resilient, brave beings who are capable of doing hard things. Sometimes I look at photos of me as a little girl and BOOM... instant perspective. Just as I ignored the nay-sayers back then, I possess the ability to do the same right now. So here is my reminder to you: strength comes in numbers. Surround yourself with people who lift you up, who listen, who hold space, who encourage and push you to be the very best version of yourself. When people tell you “no” or “you can’t,” stop and think whether or not they have your best interest in mind. If they don’t, then they do not deserve one ounce of your energy. They aren’t worth it. In those moments of question or when life gets you down, think about what your inner child would do. If anything stood in this 👆🏽 little girl’s way, she’d say, “Fuck that,” and tackle it with tenacity. And so, I have used that same fierce mindset particularly over the past couple of days. Shoutout to the beautiful humans in my life who continue to love, support and push me every single day. These little legs are so grateful. Happy Thursday, sweet souls! #tbt #littlelegsbigheart #littlelegsbigthings #differentlyabled #iamtitanium #thisismyyoga

For months, I haven’t felt at home in my soul suit. The neuropathy I’m still experiencing can be overwhelming on some days. Activities that were once simple and enjoyable are no longer. All of this leaves me feeling very heavy by the end of the day. You know what I’m talking about... the nights that become impossible, darker than most, sleepless, like the weight of the world is sleeping right beside you, and despite knowing that it isn’t permanent, the heaviness continues to close in... yeah, that. It’s been happening more often than I’d like and last night I did something really brave, I asked for help. (Yes, I’m patting myself on the back as I truly believe that asking for help can be one of the hardest things we do in this life.) Sometimes all it takes is a hug, being heard, validated and shown a little love to return into the light. After receiving all of the above from a sweet soul sister and talking until well after midnight, I woke to my alarm at 5:30 this morning ready to take on the day. The sun was still sleeping, yet I already felt it’s brilliance. In a promise I made to myself to make my soul suit stronger than ever before, I went all kinds of baby beast mode (at my own pace) @totalmovement with my girl @erikastrimer_ and alongside @wilderyoga a woman who has truly shown me that healing on all fronts is possible. Thanks for the #dreamteamwork ladies. Trust in your people. Know that the sun always rises. And we can do hard things. Baby, we GOT this. #littlelegsbigheart #littlelegsbigthings #iamtitanium #differentlyabled #thisismyyoga
