A deaf patient asked me one day if my hearing aids were analog or digital. I had to think for a minute. Because I know the analog she’s talking about are old school. Not the new, fancy, digital kinds. I had forgotten about them. They stopped making analog years ago. Technology has rapidly grown faster…

I was often seen as favored out of my brother and sister. I often read lips of important figures telling others my mother pays too much attention to me. But wait. The jealously is over a hard-working single mother who threw all of her support, love, life lessons, attention in to raising me to be…

There’s always a first time for everything. When I say Texas is a culture shock, that’s a first. I’m a huge traveler and have seen crazy parts of the world. This place is so different among others for many reason. It’s flat, spread out, and the vibe here is different. But beauty is in the…

Leesburg is a really cute town that’s grown ever since we’ve moved to here about 5 years ago. There has been a lot of changes especially in Downtown Leesburg. Others call it Old Town Leesburg. Really whatever floats your boat! It’s basically Historic Leesburg. Okay, are we done here? Let’s talk about my favorite eats…

Ford’s fish shack – This place is probably closest to my husband’s home as it gets. They always bring in the freshest seafood available with an atmosphere that almost feels like New England’s fish shacks.

Some of you may or may not have heard but Washington D.C. opened the first U.S. Sign Language Starbucks recently. Why the first in the U.S.? The first one in the world was opened in Malaysia which inspired the U.S. to open one. I have been anticipating this moment as soon as I heard about…

Let that picture soak in for a bit. It’s a true story for all of us with hearing loss. A sad one too. That’s why it’s best to wait to reveal your disability at the job interview. Many employers will regard your disability as weakness. You’re not able to communicate quickly as a hearing person…

I moved here not expecting to be living in the wine county of Virginia. LoCo is short for Loudoun County among locals around here. Loudoun County is quite possibly the next Napa Valley. There’s over 40 wineries and I’ve lost count on the breweries. I’ve been here for 7 years and still have not been…

Happy Fall ya’ll! It’s that time of the year. Pumpkin spice everything right? Can’t go wrong with that. I love pancakes on Sundays. This morning I had a gluten-free pumpkin pancake. Drizzled with Trader Joe’s Organic Vermont Maple Syrup, Bourbon Barrel Aged. Divine. So I decided to whip up some single serve mug cake later…
