Julia

Summer was rough. It was mostly medical appointments and health focused. And it shook me. However, the little moments. The glimpses of light got me through. 👋 see ya summer, hello fall! 🍎

Alt Text: Slide 1, Summer Recap. Hard Days, But still sweet memories. Just Keep Swimming. This summer tested me. It was one of the hardest times in my life and boi I’ve had some hard times. But there were beautiful moments and I’m holding onto those. Photos of Julia and her husband at the pool. Photo of a Lake.
Slide 2, Way too many tests. The medical trauma is so real. I had more tests than I can count with follow-ups, hour long calls, and massive amounts of blood tests. So, developing medical anxiety was just going to happen. Sigh! Three different photos of Julia in a medical office wearing different colored medical gowns.
Slide 3, Doing cool shit. Writing a script and taking photos. I was fortunate to write a script for Blair Imani’s Smarter in Seconds on Non-Apparent Disabilities and appear in it and I also took professional photos for EmpowHer. Photo of Julia smiling from her video for Smarter in Seconds. Two photos of Julia smiling from the location of the photoshoot.
Slide 4, Time with Family and Friends, I got to spend time with family and friends I haven’t seen in years; Go swimming, play, see animals, be in nature, and meet my new nephew! Collage of photos include Julia smiling while holding a newborn whose face is covered by a photo of a flower. Two children running toward a barn and two children playing with trucks No faces shown. Julia and her friend smile in the kitchen.
Slide 5, Summer sucked and that’s ok. Cheers to fall. If your summer kind of sucked too, you’re not alone. But life is about the little moments that make it worth it.....The tiny sparks, the feeling of water against your skin, the warmth of the sun, giggles, and fresh air. Three varying photos include a family photo with a flower over the child’s face. A photo of a lake, and a photo Julia on a hospital bed with gown and cap on.
