We all use Facebook to brag about ourselves and our lives at times, but it is a great place to connect with others and share with others. I have been so honest and open about my cancer treatment and journey to help educate others about the process. I didn’t even know what to expect even…

Why I Love Philly Sports
Growing up in central Jersey means we are in the divided part of the state when it comes to sports. The area is split between New York and Philly fandom and it makes sense geographically. My dad grew up in South Jersey (Medford Lakes and Marlton specifically) which is all Philly and so my diehard…
The Post Surgery Fatigue
After having all these surgeries I thought I’d know exactly what to expect afterwards. But each recovery has been different. I know what to expect with the drains: they’re annoying and gross and I can’t wait to get them out but I know they need to be in for a bit. I know I’ll be…

Lessons from the 2022 Phillies
As you’ve heard me say multiple times, one of many reasons I love sports is because it mirrors life. The 2022 Phillies have shown a lot of lessons that I can relate to and are just one of many reasons I love sports and this team. Overcoming Setbacks: The Phillies have overcome a number of…
