Alone

Can I preface this with saying a lot of humans suck! They are a bunch of ableist and don’t know if they are or care. In one of my support groups, a lady told me the more her disease progressed the less she heard or saw people. Family and best friends included. They were often dismissive of her feelings. They kept making her feel as if she was the one not inviting them places. At one point in…

Lately I’ve been wondering what it might be like to embrace my quirky handwriting.

And I love a good prompt to get me thinking, creating and writing.

When you look at your handwriting, notice:

❓What do you love ❤️ about how it looks?

❓What do you enjoy 😊 about making it in your own unique way?

❓What attributes would you keep?

❓What would you change to help you feel more confident?

I practice the foundational calligraphy scripts: Roman Hand, Palatino, and Italic to keep it legible and readable.

And I play with Brushlettering, Architect, and Sign Painter because they are fast and satisfying.

But what I really enjoy is making non-traditional letters work for practical applications.

Last week I made a poster that showed Copperplate written with a pencil. I had more people ask me to teach that. I had to laugh. I’ve been studying Copperplate since 2016 and I’m in no position to teach it, nor do I want to. It’s just not my aesthetic or enjoyable to me. But knowing the rules, challenging myself to get the form right, knowing that I can do it is enough for me.

What lettering styles do you practice and enjoy? Are they different or the same?

Image Description: Watercolor painting of a glass of purple drink with 3 ice cubes. The handwritten text in the right reads: “I love to drink grape-flavored electrolytes in a narrow pint glass because it makes me feel RESILIENT.”

Why a narrow pint glass? Because the inverted shape is comfortable to hold with my arthritic hands.

I’ve been reading a lot about mushrooms and have tried a few supplements and decided to give @ryzewithcoffee a mushroom coffee and I was excited to try it out in different recipes. Looking forward to it helping with the brain fog, fatigue and inflammation the RA, Fibromyalgia and Lupus is causing. • Made myself a caramel iced Frappuccino with oat milk. Taste delicious on its own but the frap was great! • Will let you know how I feel in a week or so. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 • #themitchlemos #ryzewithcoffee #mushroomcoffee #hopeithelps #rawarrior #fibrowarrior #lupuswarrior #actor #singer #stuntman #chef #blessed #grateful #godisgood #trusttheprocess (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0TqK0rCnJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Extremely happy to introduce my upcoming motivational shop. 2020 hit hard for many people including myself. My biggest challenge was chronic illness.

I am working on bringing y'all cute motivational stickers and jewelry. But I also want to support my community via this blog and other means. I invite y'all to follow me on instagram to learn more of the Rise a Warrior mission and get a glance of upcoming products.

My doctor upped my steroids for th last few weeks and tomorrow I’m back down to 5mg I’ve been feeling fantastic and my swelling is down! I’m not sure if it’s from the prednisone or if my Rituxan is kicking in but I’m so afraid I’m going to start hurting again once I officially drop back down to 5mg. I’ve been on 5mg for the last 2 1/2 years until we find something that actually works. Fingers crossed that it’s the Rituxan and not the steroids

Meet: @pattysfitnessjourney this is @mywlstories I spent years not knowing how to keep weight off. I became sedentary and turned down any adventure that my family would take on because I was too heavy and out of shape. Then in 2011, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and spent a year on a steroid and I put in even more weight. However, in 2016, I met someone who taught me about food and as I changed my eating I put my RA into remission and I list 75 pounds. Today I no longer turn down adventure and my story is “reclaiming my life.” Let me tell you. It feels great! ________________ WHAT DOES WLSTORIES MEAN TO YOU? I think a very important part of a successful weight loss journey is the community you surround yourself with. The more support you have, the easier it is to be successful.

So, this happened. Got my first shipment of #enbrel delivered via UPS. . I've been dealing with #chronicillnesses and their assorted life-threatening shenanigans since 2016. Then a few months ago I finally went to see a rheumatologist - all of my other specialists had told me to try that, since I had a growing list of abnormal test results and weird symptoms, that didn't fit into any of my other known diagnoses. . Well, sure enough, I got a new one: #rheumatoidarthritis. I'd been telling the pain clinic for 2 years, that I knew there was something other than my neuropathy pain? Unfortunately, I was right. . I tried Plaquenil for 3 months, and it didn't work at all. All my joints still show inflammation. So now, I try this. Enbrel. A self-injectable biological medication. It's a riskier choice for me than any other med I've tried so far, due to some potential complications with other illnesses I have. But it also has potential to REALLY help. . It was super scary to inject myself the first time - but, I did it. Next time will be WAY easier since now I know what to expect. So far, so good - NO redness or swelling at the injection spot, no sudden side effects. . So... once a week, every Wednesday morning, I'll shoot myself in the leg. Or, let Nurse Abby do it, since she thinks this is freaking rad, ;) And fingers crossed (gently!) that I start to see some improvement. 🖤🖤🖤 . #spoonielife #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior #rawarrior #chronicillnesslife #chronicpainlife #chronicallyill #chronicpainwarrior #spooniecommunity #spooniesisters #wherethetiredgirlsare #invisibleillness #butyoudontlooksick #autoimmunedisease #autoimmuneproblems #autoimmunewarrior (at Terrace Heights, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B07Mdiwhcka/?igshid=9f7ojuvrgbpo

Accountability

That term has been thrown at me quite a bit lately. I have to admit, I’ve ignored it. I have some responsibilities that I have let slip out of my grasp. Ive also haven’t been taking note of how my prescence or lack thereof could have a lasting imprint on important relationships. And it’s time I pull myself from under my rock of solitary confinement. Yes, I put myself in prison. One of my friends…
