      <image:caption>For years, I’ve gone at full speed, living off of adrenaline and passion, successfully dividing my time among the “must do’s” and some “want to dos,” shedding and sacrificing the rest for the greater good. I have created my normal out of a new normal existence after homicide many years ago. I have always made a patchwork quilt of organization and juggling with incredible endurance that has served me well for the most part.  Earning a living in health care and then in a stilted government environment that expects me to play the bureaucratic game “within the box” is contrasted by a wild card of creativity consisting of writing, blogging, radio hosting, promoting, consulting. Included in that life, admittedly I sometimes go kicking and screaming at the artificiality of social media which is clearly not my style.  Enter the electronic world that challenges my coordination and patience more than the average bear. But I keep going...   I have lived a lifetime with a permanent disability, classified “severe on paper”, but just a nuisance in reality, through years of honing compensatory strategies to do what needs to be done when no one else is around. This has become second nature. Over a decade ago I focused on future goals to live in a warm climate to make life easier someday “when older age catches up.”   I  delved into the experience of becoming a second homeowner in my chosen transplanted state as an investment and to live a more peaceful solo life someday.  Four years into the real estate game, I have learned so much on this tumultuous ride.  At the same time, other opportunities for which I have waited so long,  may be finally coalescing!  Prosthetic and orthotic technology just entered my world at this busy time in life as well, potentially opening the door to safer, more efficient, and easier manner of walking and positively affecting longevity (once the bugs are worked out through creative problem solving). Who would have thought this was possible? And then…. life catches up and you realize how much energy you are expending. For example, when you travel solo with a disability, although I pack well, and try to be as organized as possible,  I have  learned my limitations. I  may be able to board the plane first, but…  You can only carry so much with crutches and balance issues. I have no one to watch  my possessions.There is no one in your party to wait on you to run up for a cup of coffee or a meal during a layover. Sometimes, I do not have the luxury of time to use the facilities when they put you through the paces at security. I are dependent upon others for assistance and must also carry plenty of “tip money.” For the trip, I are known as  “the wheelchair person” in order to make your connections on time. This is only temporary and then I can  return the  genuine unique person I always was once I arrive at my destination.  All this, is necessary in order to experience life, to  travel versus  being  “stuck in your house” if you can figure out a plan.  All of this was pretty routine for me.  However, it all changed for me in a split second  after a  recent business- vacation trip- an epiphany of sorts! Due to extreme, premature winter weather, I, along with thousands of others, endured numerous changes (five for me) - involving itinerary time,  terminal, airline and connection changes. Following this  ordeal, the  freak Northeastern Pre-Thanksgiving snowstorm made me face further  limits of my resilience, endurance and sanity on top of the six hour flight delays! I never felt so alone and helpless in my life with nowhere to turn!  Upon returning to snowy Connecticut, I summarized it as such- “Late Night Update- 11:30 p.m. I just got home since the initially intended 12:40 p.m noonish flight. from MB and after a very hazardous and careful 2 hour drive from the airport driving 20 mph all the way from the airport! (normally a 45 minute drive)  Got stuck twice. Thanks Mr. State Policeman who was shutting down Rt -5-15 and told me to go through Wethersfield-(a bit better) and the truck driver who helped; My phone died, then they hadn't yet plowed my condo complex! The snow was too high for me to walk! Thanks Ralph the orange payloader guy who just carried my suitcases and parked my car for me! I have to commend the pilots from Charlotte to Hartford- Windsor Locks for their skills! But, I personally, have to get out of this God forsaken State ASAP! Too much, abuse, trauma and drama! I'm going to bed in my clothes... “ It has taken a good 48 hours to recover physically and psychologically from this ordeal, as I am not as young or agile as I used to be. I have decided and tearfully confirmed with a family member, that I can no longer stand firmly with one foot in two states, especially one that has 10 inches of snow in November!  I have fought this fight for years and do not, cannot struggle alone in the snow in the manner described above ever again! I have to be better to myself, and seize all opportunities that come my way or create new ones to  leave as soon as possible.  It is just too much!  I have reached my limit for these burdens and cannot carry them anymore.  ***It is high time to simplify, downsize from my birth state with a dark and dismal future of survival, and make my life easier...even if I have to continue to go it alone. I have officially drawn my line in the sand! I feel a sense of relief, knowing that this has to come sooner versus later.  Your TakeAway in 2024-  May your  ‘line in the sand’ be not nearly as traumatic… and may you always prepare the best you can for the unexpected!  I tried the best I could!

      <image:title>Blog - It’s Difficult to be Gay in the South</image:title>
      <image:caption>As I write this, I learn from a respected Democratic Senator in the Northeast about a future master plan, entitled ‘Project 2025,’ conceived by loyalists of the Republican Presidential candidate to remove many of our current rights and liberties. Among the vicious dictates will be the stripping of rights for gay and transgender individuals concerning all rights gained under Federal rules and regulations. Marriage will be reinstated and defined in Biblical terms only. We will conceivably be back to the 1940s and shoved into the closet once again. If this occurs, I foresee tremendous backlash and irreparable damage to many citizens.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - It’s Difficult to be Gay in the South</image:title>
      <image:caption>I have to tread lightly where I live as well. It’s the same story with 80 and 90-year-olds. They just aren’t accepting. However, there is one lesbian couple who attends Sunday Brunch weekly to visit their parents. I have tried and succeeded in making friends. This is the South, after all… I have to make my choices and priorities. But whatever the future holds, I know I will survive and hopefully make the South better for my presence! Donna R.

      <image:title>Blog - Good Intentions, Bad Choices</image:title>
      <image:caption>I stared at the proverbial blue screen recently for seven long hours until the perpetrator of two murders and his laundry list of other crimes finally ended the virtual marathon.  I had a tension headache but listened intently to the twelve cases the Connecticut Board of Pardons and Parole presented and took notes. The list of inmates included candidates from two adult correctional institutions, a youth correctional facility, and two halfway houses around Connecticut. For the majority of hearings, the virtual observer, including victim families, can view the inmate during the live hearing.

      <image:caption>Taken from my victim impact statement- “For the record- No one in my family wishes for Mr. Herring to be paroled under any circumstances. Although Mr. Herring is considerably older, and may have matured to some extent, and held a job in the commissary, he continued to commit serious crimes while incarcerated, had no interest in who our family was/ is, nor truly seemed remorseful nor offered any type of restitution over the years, nor did he offer to try to ‘make amends’ in any manner. “</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My story began with my premature birth in 1954, conceived in love and brought into the world just an hour after the first labor pain. Incubator technology at the time was primarily about providing large quantities of oxygen for tiny, underdeveloped lungs and keeping babies warm and clean. Babies born very early had such sensitive eyes and eardrums that normal light and sound could cause permanent damage.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The longer I live in a retirement community, the more I see the variations in personalities, personal habits, residents’ ability, or inability, to adapt, expectations held, and cultural differences.   The first huge consideration is financial in terms of what you can realistically afford when considering the types of environments that are appealing to you… or not.</image:caption>
