A Good Reminder

February 27, 2019 in Diabetic Diva - No Comments

One of the best parts of my job is that I get to share my “patient” story with our teams. 
Today, a good friend asked me to speak at his town hall and it couldn’t have come at a better time. 
I needed the reminder. 
The reminder of how much I’ve gone through. 
The reminder of how much I’ve grown. 
The reminder that I’m so much stronger than what this disease can throw at me. 
The reminder that I may get knocked down 7 times but I rise, swinging, 8 times. 
The reminder of how strong James, Callie, and I are. 
The reminder of what warriors we are.
The reminder of gratitude. 
The reminder of perserverance.
The reminder that I have an incredible support system. 
The reminder that no matter what obstacles life has thrown at me or at us, we’ve never given up. 
At the end of the townhall, I was met with a lot of hugs and thank you’s. There were tears (not only mine 😉) and a sense of hope. 
We are fighters. I just needed the reminder.

For the women blooming in unexpected places…..

For the women blooming in unexpected places…..

Hi Y'all

Hi, I’m Jaime — writer, mother, storyteller, and the heart behind The Wildflower Edit. For nearly a decade, I wrote online as The Princess and the Prosthetic, sharing my daughter’s journey with disability and the lessons our family learned along the way. It was a beautiful season — full of advocacy, connection, and community — but as my daughter grew older, I felt a shift. She deserved more autonomy. More privacy. More room to decide how she shows up in the world. And I realized something else: My own story was expanding too. Motherhood was still here. Disability was still here. But so were grief, healing, womanhood, nervous system care, feminine energy, homemaking, identity, softness… the fuller, deeper pieces of life that were ready to be spoken aloud. Whether you come for the cozy routines, the motherhood reflections, the disability advocacy, or the soft life inspiration — thank you for choosing to share this space with me. Pour a warm drink. Settle in. Let’s grow a life that feels like you again.
