Exactly 2 years ago to this day I made the decision to drive to Baltimore, stay in a hotel by myself for 2 months and go to rehab treatment every day. I am not gonna lie. I was absolutely, utterly, out of my f***in mind terrified. Not only was I afraid of the pain andContinue reading “2 Years–>Rest of My Life”

Still- I Fight
Life has been kinda crazy lately. I’ve had so much going on. So many positive things happen for me. I will give some of them to you today, but I also want to make things clear. I still fight for every day of my life. Does this mean I have to fight at the sameContinue reading “Still- I Fight”
The CRPS Hangover
I get it- I go away for a while and then come back with a title about a hangover. It’s not because I am about to tell you that my life is perfect and I am partying every day. That is far from the truth. Yes, I am having the time of my life- butContinue reading “The CRPS Hangover”
Trust the Process
Ever since I could remember, I had a plan for my life. Was it always the same plan- no way. I mean it went anywhere from a toy store cashier to an FBI agent. I really must’ve just thought I was good at everything. It wasn’t that I couldn’t decide, it was where was IContinue reading “Trust the Process”

I then interviewed for a job at the FBI and immediately returned to start treatment. Little did I know that I would be startingContinue reading “1 Year For a Lifetime”
Purpose
I believe we all have a purpose in life. You’re probably thinking I’m being pretty cliche. I agree that my younger self would have already clicked off of this post. It’s almost such a classic phrase that people no longer validate it. Don’t worry, I was there too. But, to all those young Alexis’ outContinue reading “Purpose”
Too Complex
Now I don’t normally start with pictures. I typically like to give an explanation before I show even more of my life. But, today I am going to do it. I am going to have a discussion about my community. The people who have been or at one time were in my life. I haveContinue reading “Too Complex”
Family Can Make or Break You
Surprisingly, I often get questions from parents to kids with CRPS. I never expected this to be a demographic of mine, but here we are. The conversation typically starts out with a parent thanking me. Thanking me because I was someone their child could relate to. They also tend to ask me lots of questions.Continue reading “Family Can Make or Break You”
Life is Possible
This past week, you may have noticed I did not post a blog. I know I know, it killed me too. But there was a reason. I had a different project come out into the world not too long before. I am going to tell you the story of why I decided to do thisContinue reading “Life is Possible”
