Like millions of other people, I live with an injury and with an illness.  I was diagnosed with Epilepsy during my teen years, and later in my adult life, I suffered a traumatic C5 spinal cord injury.  Each has impacted my life and all those around me.  It is because of these heroes that I have decided to share my story.           

I created this site to celebrate the ‘Ray of light’ that often is overlooked in the midst of such events.  If you are a parent of a child with an illness, a caregiver, live with any illness  or had a traumatic injury, I hope to somehow connect with you. 

My intentions are to bring a smile to your face, remind you that adversity affects us all, and to inspire you to never lose hope.  I have also included some of my favorite photos so you can enjoy the places I appreciate most, and some of the photos that remind me how lucky I am to be holding a camera.   

While I realize, “Out of many, I am only one”,  I understand that I am only as strong as  the unsung heroes who have all been by my side through thick and thin.  I hope that my experiences will let me connect and inspire those who may need some words of encouragement.
