Welcome to my blog, The EarthBound Tomboy. It’s about my
life as a woman with a disability: my musings, memories, rants and sarcastic
jabs on my own situation and on disability generally. I’m amused by life’s
ironies, both cruel and hilarious. I’m a fierce champion of equality and
inclusion. I believe in praising a job
well done and calling out those who just don’t get it.
At times, I’ll expound on more
expansive topics as well. Travel, food and other sybaritic delights. Gorgeous,
inclusive design. Writing that enchants me and art that makes me swoon.
A little background on me: I'm a
lawyer by training, but please don't hold that against me. I'm a native
Clevelander who got smart and moved to Miami 14 years ago. My husband and I are
hillbilly kids at heart who have embraced South Florida’s Latin culture.
I have an orthopedic disability as
the result of childhood arthritis and I use a wheelchair for mobility. After a
half century of living, I’ve arrived at the conclusion that going through life
in an upright position is highly overrated.
If you’re game for a gimp girl’s
observations on life -- at turns upbeat, sad and brutally honest – peppered
with humor and pop culture references, please become a follower of The EarthBound Tomboy.
