I tell you to believe that recovery is possible from whatever illness trauma or injustice a person has experienced.

All my life I lived with a disability I didn’t know I had until I turned 22. The story is in my first book so it’s out there.

Having read the book The Future is Disabled I think that author is on to something: individuals with long haul COVID symptoms are often becoming disabled.

What does it mean and how does it feel like to have a disability?

A person who uses a cane can go to the gym. Others might not be able to exercise.

Pity from outsiders and self-pity is to be renounced.

The fact that long haul COVID patients are becoming disabled I see as the segue to opening up the literature to include first-person accounts that ordinarily wouldn’t be told.

I’ll take this turn of events even if it took ordinary people becoming ill with COVID for there to be more compassion in society.

COVID threw out the rules in an old playbook that is outdated today.

In a coming blog entry I’ll talk about this new post-COVID reality and the benefits of breaking the rules that existed in society before now.

Like the unhinged pursuit of bigger better more that used to exist.

What am I doing smash that dynamic?

Stay tuned to find out.
