Brown, Bearded, & Disabled

This is going to be week 3 of my new living situation. I have been actively getting settled in and ordering things I need. So far I met some wonderful people and continued my relationships with old friends!

Today marks the first day of fall and I couldn't be more excited! I love the fall and winter and can't wait to bust out the hoodies!

I've been working on a new routine for the morning. One of my favorite parts of my new routine is playing the upright piano my roommate as! I'm so glad he kept insisting I used my left hand on the piano to play along with my right hand. I was reluctant because I always got frustrated with my left hand no longer being able to play different types of instruments. I had completely surrendered to this new mindset. I'm so happy to report that I listened and now I'm playing with both of my hands on the piano! Still need a lot of practice, but I'm well on my way to bring my left hand back to making music! I already wrote two new songs on the piano!

I also found a new gym that has a swimming pool! It is such a beautiful looking gym! I can't wait to get back into the water! I'm getting in shape for my kayaking excursion next month in Berkeley!

Can't wait to do some advocacy work in California!

Halloween is just right around the corner!

Don’t forget the line, “You’ve not disabled; you’re DIFFERENTLY abled!” 😅🎃

A wonderful remembrance.

Last week I got to go to my favorite place in the Tri-Cities before I made my big move. I was saddened that I was not able to meet with my dear friend . I couldn't run into this busy bee! I will be back to say hi in person!

Thank you for having a wonderful staff and for taking the leap of Faith and opening up this wonderful cafe! Thank you for everything you do for this community! The Tri-Cities is lucky to have someone like you! Can't wait to come back in for a delicious Huckleberry / coconut Italian soda! Also, I plan on submitting from down here! Love the art you always display!

P. S
Love the new paint job!

I need recommendations for a storage unit in the Tri-Cities. Something affordable. Please and thank you!

Moving boxes needed! I have a lot more loose items than I had originally planned. If you have an Amazon box or any moving boxes I will gladly take them off your hands! Please DM me with details if you have some boxes!

The 🐈 is out of the bag. I will be moving to California at the end of August. I have an opportunity for a better quality of life! I can't thank my dear friend .w.price enough for the next chapter of my life! The world would be such a better place if there were clones of Julian!

I've been throwing away stuff and donating bags of clothes the last 2 weeks. Everything must go so if you want dibs on stuff let me know. I have two couches that are super comfortable an ottoman, a 50-in 4K TV, a vintage keyboard, and a lamp. I'm sure they'll be more as I pack up the rest of the month. I am super grateful for having a caregiver to help me pack up. I can do a lot, but I still need help with a lot of things.

I'm giving my friends and family first dibs on some of my items before I post them on marketplace. Send me a DM if you are interested in any of my things. I will be traveling light, again everything must go! Packing and moving is expensive so I definitely would appreciate your best offer on some things.

This next chapter would not be possible without the help of my family and close friends and everybody who made a difference in my life these last 10 years. Thank you all so damn much for everything! 🙏

I also would like to announce that I'm taking an indefinite hiatus from social media. I will be posting a lot less, but I will still keep my brown bearded and disabled page on Instagram and Facebook. I will post random stories from time to time. I just want to live a free life without distractions or cell phone addiction.

I was going to post this on my anniversary of my brain bleed, August 14th 2015, but I'd rather have more time with friends and family. Hit me up if you want to hang out!

Please be kind and take care of one another. If you are in the position to help do it.

¡Amor y paz!

I've been on vacation for 30 days in California last month. I did not miss this extreme heat whatsoever. I got used to fresh and crisp mornings and beautiful warm weather during the day.

I was able to meet with familiar faces and make some good memories. I did a lot of sunbathing, meditating, and even some reading! Also, I wrote a new song on the piano! I also did ecstatic dance on Sundays!

I can't thank my good friend Julian for being such a great host! Thank you so much for the accommodations and for the wise words! Thank you for introducing me to new people and for opening your home to me!

This was the longest I've been away from home, and it was challenging but very rewarding. Here are some of my favorite pictures from last month. I'm going to go old school and just dump all of my photos on Facebook.
