Celebrating Wicked ‘s 21st anniversary and giving a much deserved shout out to two women who changed my Life

Today is a very special day for a few reasons. Today is the twenty first anniversary of Wicked, which is one of my favorite musicals. Wicked premiered the year I turned 21, the year I lost my best friend Noel and I began to feel bad about how I looked and moved through this world.
In 2021 my life changed for good when I joined @boundlessbabesociety and my mentors @reneedollenmayer and @nikkiwalsh.adaptfit came into my life and began to push and guide me to become the woman they knew I could be. I’ve been a green girl my whole life, but it’s because of these women that I call my Glindas that I am a proud green girl who finally realized her weird quirks were a gift.

This stubborn Elphaba loves you ladies 💚💚

BBS changed my life and now being in what I call BBS graduate school is even more life-changing because I get to share my story with new women who have come into our beautiful community and encourage them to boundlessly live this life. So if you are a disabled woman who is in need of community, please consider joining us. You won’t regret it. It’s so much fun!

💚 working from home

I’m through accepting limits cause someone says they’re so! Something I can not change, til I try I’ll never know.  – Elphaba

This real life green girl is doing some advocacy work from home tonight. I’m getting ready to go over our packet for this month and I had to look for my glasses.  I really like the way I look in them. 💚

What I’m proud of. 

What are you most proud of in your life?

There are a lot of things that I have grown to be proud of.   I’m proud that I have embraced my disability. I love that I can genuinely call myself a dancer, instead of saying I take dance classes. I love that I have embraced using my wheelchair and access service to be more independent.  I look forward to  making my reservations to get where I need to go during the week.

Purple photo taken a year ago. The Marie that I am today actually likes the process of being at PT. The person that I  was one year ago had a panic attack in the church parking lot because I did not want to go to therapy at all or wear my braces. I’m a work in progress and some of my goals have changed but I like the person I have become
