There's an entire chapter about this coinciding collision of fate being grabbed by all parties involved, but a condensed version is necessary for this site considering how valuable I view The Cab as artists and, most importantly, friends. Story I found The Cab by accident when I overheard a lyric from a Howie Day song that led me to a Google search, which then ended with I'll Run on my ipod. That song not only turned into one of the perfect additions to a mix CD for my then girlfriend, but also was on my Boston running playlist. I qualified for the Boston Marathon and won the mobility impaired division the year I'll Run was released. See, I not only ran a marathon, I have overcome a ruptured brain aneurysm and stroke. Doctors thought I may never walk again, but my parents had more than a little faith in me, pushed me harder than they ever could...and I'll Run forever now. 24 years later and nobody can tell that I live with a permanent physical and neurological disability. The boys heard about this, brought me up on stage when they played in Baltimore and dedicated I'll Run to me, telling the entire audience my story. I filmed the entire thing on my phone. Now, my now ex-girlfriend made me a mix CD first. Instead of putting song titles inside the sleeve, she wrote phrases about how the song related to us and our relationship. When it came to I’ll Run, the phrase I put on her CD was "You’re three times the lady I’ll ever have" naturally. That same girlfriend, I gave her a promise ring before she went back to school. Get this--it was a 25 cent plastic ring that I got at the grocery store (shop) down the street--I swear it. I knew it was cheap, not like gold in her dreams, but not only did she wear it...she never took it off. She never took it off...and it eventually stained her finger green! (The ink may stain my skin...) I wasn't perfect, but I always swore that I was perfect for her. I have gotten over her, and now it's a memory I will now Endlessly cherish because of The Cab. Singer, Marshall, Joey, Brock and everyone else that has been part of The Cab have left a permanent mark on my life, have given me the faith to ask another woman to Take My Hand when the time comes, but most importantly have become true friends. And to think, it all started from a small error of not recognizing a song on the radio. And let it be known that none of this would have happened if Brock did not promise to introduce me to the boys after the first time I saw them in concert last year. I was kind of shocked at how genuinely and truly he grasped my story. Brock introduced me to Marshall. The rest is history that is still being made with these guys, but had to give a major shout out to Brock for being the man. #cantstopwontstop baby!

Hey everyone! Wow, I'm a horrible person for being away this long, but I have some amazing news. I am in the last chapter of my book. I have been working my butt off on all the prep work to pitch and market the memoir...and I have a surprise for you. While working on the book outline section of the proposal, I perfected the premise of my book that I have spent the last 14 months writing. Ready for it? Here it is. Premise Disabilities are devastating impairments. Whether natural or acquired somewhere in life, they dictate how you are perceived by others. This is my story about overcoming my own disability. It has made me who I am and, knowing what my family has done, nothing will reaffirm how far we have overcome than by helping others the way my family has been there for me. Continually reaching towards the unwavering light in my life, I have overcome my disability and, even though it still exists, I now find beauty in its lasting, relinquishing presence. It's so close...and there's going to be plenty of updates coming up VERY soon. Big year coming now that the prep work is almost completed!
