March has started with a big bang for me. My new electric wheelchair had a new complication. It suddenly wouldn’t turn on. I checked and tried to charge it. It wouldn’t even charge. Thankfully, I already called for a repair because the controller arm was loose....

I come from a family of farmers. Farmers have been a part of my ancestry. I love how my hands feel in dirt and watching my house plants grown. Last year I purchased these mini pots grow kits and saved them for a time when I had more energy. Yesterday, I...
