I am so fly. My new inhaler makes me the hottest girl in the club. Yea, that's right. I said INHALER.

I am so pissed at the Gap. Used to be, a girl with a booty could buy jeans there, jeans that would make her heart-shaped badonkadonk look superfly. But for the past few years, all their jeans have seemed engineered for stick figures only.

What started as a way to teach this 30-something doggie new tricks soon turned into a fun, beautiful way to celebrate my successes. Now I turn the simplest objects into powerful symbols, full of personal significance.

My feet hurt. They hurt all the time. And for a while, I had kind of given up on them. But then I learned to love my feet, even if they aren't the most cooperative little buggers. It's all about the shoes, baby.

If you have Raynaud's Phenomenon, you know how important warm socks are. I always thought warm socks were not sexy socks - until I found Smartwool.

Well, that's probably a little over-dramatic. I'm not permanently one-armed...I'm just not allowed to use my right arm and hand for a few weeks as I heal from surgery. But for all practical purposes, I've been one-armed for the past three weeks and I'll be one-armed for a few more.

Since smashing my wrist three weeks ago, I've learned a lot of things. Practical tips, new ways of relating to people, the value of pump bottles for shower products, and the strong power of gratitude when it comes to getting your head right.

Here are just a few of the things I've learned, in no particular order. No matter what your illness or disability, I hope you find them useful.
