Hi, my name is Sara and I live in my own home with my one year old son, two cantankerous cats, a dog, and a pony in Central Vermont. On October 12th, 2000 I was scalped by an auger at the wood veneer paneling plant and ended up a quadriplegic. As accidents go it wasn’t bad. Really, it was over before I even knew what happened. Since then my life had run the gamut of experiences such as:

Mental Health Issues:

Adjusting to life in the chair

Dealing with the pain and stigma of being a 20 year old woman with no hair

Adjusting to life at home

Health:

Surgeries

Rehab

Recently having my son naturally

Logistical Issues:

Relationships

Difficulties with dating

Travel

Getting the right equipment

Dealing with insurance companies

Building my own home

Hiring and managing caregivers

Personal Growth:

Going to College and completing my associates degree

Finding my way back to horses and successfully competing against able-bodied competitors

Doing nonprofit work in order to give back

Becoming a budding author

Navigating through the world of self publishing

Entering the blogging scene

Each of the above has taught me a ton and provided me with a unique prospective and candid voice that I hope you will enjoy reading.
