Once upon a life, I made gravity nervous—
Headlining at Ballys, tossing clubs with a grin.
Seven of them. A world record—
Because physics loves a good insult. 😄
Then came the truck—the coma.
     
Thirty-seven silent days offstage.
And here I am now—not juggling clubs.
But throwing purpose, grit, and joy.
Balancing healing, catching courage.
Tossing hope sky-high. 🤹‍♂️

The mission grew bigger than applause.
Now I lift humans. I write to stay connected.
I write because it’s how I breathe.
If these words help you, too?
That’s magic catching air. 🎉
     
What’s next on Kit’s journey through life?
Back to juggling? Back to life?
Stay with Kit and find out.
Life can get better.
Life will get better. ✨

========================

Part 1)  THE BEGINNINGS 

As I woke this morning, the sickness didn’t knock politely—it kicked the door clean off the hinges. Every cough thundered through me like a drum solo in a metal can, rattling bones, nerves, and patience alike.
   
And somewhere between breaths, I caught myself wondering… I’m already in a hospital—so why does it feel like I’m still standing in line, ticket in hand, waiting to be called?
   
And yet—on cue, like a stubborn old alarm clock—my body chimed in at 3 a.m.: “Up we go!” No snooze, no negotiation. The hallways stretched out in silence, quiet as a held breath. Just me, the stillness, and this scrappy, determined body trying to piece itself together one inhale at a time.
HEY–ARE THOSE MY LUNGS? 
 
They’ve been watching my oxygen/blood levels, tracking the numbers like a scoreboard. And today, they’ve dipped—just a little—but enough to matter.
   
My lungs aren’t dancing; they’re shuffling, doing their best with what they’ve got. Last night, a nurse suggested a transfer. I waved it off with a brave little “no thanks.” This morning? The head nurse took one look and said, “Not so fast.” Now the ride may be on its way after all.
   
So here I sit—a slightly worn, slightly wobbly Kit—waiting for the next move. I usually hover around 9.4 on the blood/oxygen level; now I’m at 9.1. Small numbers. Big message. Funny how life works like that—the tiniest shifts can carry the loudest truths.
   
But here’s the thing—I’ve lived through bigger drops than this. I’ve missed catches, stumbled hard, hit the ground… and still found a way to get back into rhythm. This moment? Just another toss into the air. And I’ve still got my eyes on it. I’m still in the game. 🎯
   
This afternoon—Sunday—I saw a doctor.
No grand speech, no dramatic verdict.
The X-ray machine wasn’t working.
     
But she treated me for pneumonia anyway.
And there it is—the question hanging in the air like a high throw:
Will I live… or will I die?
       
I actually paused after typing that.
Not out of fear—but curiosity.
Even that word—pneumonia—starts with a silent letter.
   
Ahh, the sneaky “p”—just sitting there like it owns the place and refuses to make a sound. 😄
Here’s the story:
The word “pneumonia” comes from the ancient Greek word pneumon, which means “lung.” In Greek, that “pn” combination at the beginning was actually pronounced—something like puh-NOO-monia.
          
But English? Oh, English looked at that and said, “Yeah… we’re not doing that.” 😄
So over time, we kept the spelling (because English loves tradition)… but dropped the “p” sound when speaking.
   
👉 Same thing happens with other words:
psychology (silent “p”)
pterodactyl (silent “p”)
pneumatic (silent “p”)

Can you imagine my name with a silent “P”? 
💡 Think of the “p” as a historical souvenir—
a little linguistic fossil reminding us where the word came from.
     
So the “p” isn’t useless… It’s just quietly honoring its Greek roots while letting the “n” do all the talking. Kind of like a backup juggler who never gets thrown into the act—but still helped build the show. 🤹‍♂️
     
Today I got a ride from Logan to the doctor.
Logan is a good guy, and I was glad to be with him.
Now I wonder if the doc helped.
     
I taught another person to juggle today!
I must have taught at least 35 people here to juggle 3.
That makes me happy, as he was happy with his new skill.
=============================  

PART 2)  THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK

Kit’s Daily Delights — Inspiration, Freshly Served. Every week, I sit down to map my week—and every time, it begins the same way: a blank canvas. Nothing there. It still surprises me. That quiet moment, just before I fill it in… when the whole week is wide open, waiting for me to decide what it becomes. And here’s the beautiful truth—you’ve got that same wide-open canvas, too. Start now and make the life YOU want!   

>>>>>April 18

Of course—it’s Saturday. Everything has slowed to a near standstill… the kind of quiet that almost echoes. Time stretches out in a strange way here—unbelievably slow, like the world hit a pause button and forgot to press play again. You can almost hear the minutes ticking by, one at a time, asking, “Now what?”
   
And in that quiet stillness. I’ve found myself thinking… really thinking. And here’s what keeps rising to the surface: there’s a quiet kind of power in a life lived solo. Not lonely—no, not even close—but deeply self-owned. Clean. Uncluttered. Yours from edge to edge.
   
It’s a life where your thoughts don’t have to compete for space. It’s where your direction isn’t pulled off course by noise or expectation—just you at the wheel—steady hands, clear road, open sky. There’s a strength in that kind of simplicity, a confidence that builds when every choice is yours to make and every step is yours to take.
   
A life where your choices are yours. Your rhythm is yours, your direction isn’t negotiated—it’s declared. There’s a kind of freedom in that, a quiet strength. No need to explain your path, no need to wait for agreement—just you, moving forward, fully in your own lane.
     
That doesn’t mean connection isn’t beautiful—it absolutely is. But there’s something deeply grounding about knowing you can stand strong on your own two feet, build your own days, and still find meaning, purpose, and even joy without depending on anyone else to supply it.
   
It’s like juggling solo—you feel every toss in your fingertips, every catch in your bones, every tiny correction in real time. There’s no autopilot, no hiding—just you, fully present, fully alive, dancing with the moment as it unfolds. 
     
So yes… a single life can be better—if it’s lived with intention. If it’s filled with growth, curiosity, and a willingness to stay engaged with the world rather than shrink away from it. The magic isn’t in being alone—it’s in being awake in your own life.
     
Are you… her? It’s a simple question, but not a small one.
It carries a pause, a curiosity.
Maybe even a quiet hope tucked between the words.
So I’ll ask it again—clearly, honestly, and without disguise:
Are you “her”? If you are, please let me know.
   
No guessing games. No circling it. Just a straight line from one human to another, reaching out for clarity. Because sometimes, the smallest questions hold the biggest meaning—and getting a real answer matters.
   
And who knows? Sometimes the strongest, most centered individuals—the ones who’ve learned how to stand alone—are the very ones who, later on, choose connection not out of need… but out of abundance. That’s a powerful place to live from.
   
At 10:44, a meal arrived—mysterious in its identity. Breakfast? Lunch? A surprise plot twist? I wasn’t hungry, so that “whatever-it-was” made a quick exit to the trash. 🎭
   
Then came round two. At 3:33, Octavio showed up with dinner—early enough to qualify as a sneak preview. I asked him to bring it back at actual dinnertime, when my appetite might be ready to make an appearance.
     
Somewhere between breakfast, lunch, and dinner… we’ve invented a new meal: confusion. 😄 A little clearer training for the meal staff could turn this into a smooth, well-timed performance—because even in a simple routine like eating, timing is everything.
     
As dinnertime approached, Octavio brought my meal at 3:33—well before I was ready to eat. I let him know it was too early and asked that it be brought back at an appropriate time, hopefully still warm. It left me wondering—were meals intentionally moved earlier because I raised concerns? If so, that solution misses the mark.

When the meal arrived, it also included medication in a small cup, and I was told it needed to be taken immediately while he watched. That added to the sense that timing and coordination are off track. Consistency matters—not just for comfort, but for dignity and routine.

There may be a need for better training and communication among the meal staff. Delivering meals at the proper times, ensuring food quality, and coordinating respectfully with medication schedules should be standard practice. With the right guidance and systems in place, this could run smoothly for everyone.

>>>> April 19

Awake around 3, I lingered there for a while—caught between rest and the quiet hum of a waking mind—until I finally stepped out of bed at five. Sometimes you just need a starting point… and once I gave myself that, my mind clicked on like a light in a dark room.
   
For a brief, beautiful moment, I felt clear. My nose opened up, my body felt lighter, and I had a clear head, no headache. And I thought, Ahh… maybe this is the turn. Maybe I am back to life once again. But then, as my mind was turning on—plot twist—the sickness came rolling back in like an uninvited encore. Body aches, a pounding head, that all-over ugh feeling settling in again.
   
The head of nursing, Winsom, was with me this morning.
   
And yet… here we are. Sunday. A church day. A day that still belongs to me—aches, doubts, and all. Often, around me, some lean into prayer, who find their footing in hope. I see it. I respect it. But that path isn’t mine. My faith, if I have one, lives somewhere else—maybe in showing up when it’s hard, in breathing through the pain, in choosing to stand in my own truth even when it shakes a little.
   
No choir needed. No script required. Just me—still here, still in the game, still claiming the day as my own. If you believe, think carefully about your choices; you may change your perspective. Maybe no higher power swoops in to fix everything. Maybe that was never the assignment. Maybe the miracle isn’t rescue… maybe it’s resilience—the quiet, stubborn act of showing up anyway.

I’ll admit it—I’ve always questioned the whole idea of a higher being. Where is she, after all? Hiding? LoganxWaiting? Or maybe… living in the small, defiant moments when I rise, even when I don’t feel like it. Or maybe not there at all. 

Because here’s what I know for sure:
I’m still here.
Still standing.
Still in the game.
And on a Sunday like this, that feels like something worth believing in.
     
Because even on a rough morning like this, something steady remains. I’m here. I’m breathing. I’m still stepping onto the field of my own life. And that, in its own quiet way, is powerful. Not perfect—but present. Not healed—but in motion. Still showing up… still in the game.
     
Today I got a ride from Logan to see the doc. Their results were weak, and I wonder if they helped at all. And, I got to teach Key to juggle! He did well and did great with his new skill.

>>>>>April 20

I’m starting to feel like this blog isn’t just something I do… It’s something I’ve been called to do. Like the world tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Hey, Kit—get in the game. Your story matters.” And if there’s one thing I’ve learned—from stages, from setbacks, from hospital beds and hard roads—it’s this: when life calls your name, you answer. Even if your voice is a little scratchy that day.
   
I’ve lived a few lifetimes in one body. From juggling on stages across the world… to lying still in a coma, not even able to speak. From building a business… to rebuilding a life. From getting knocked down—twice, literally—to getting back up again, again, and again. So no, I don’t write to pass the time. I write to honor it. Because every moment I’m still here? That’s a catch worth celebrating. 🤹‍♂️
     
Now, speaking of timing—my schedule rolled in today at 9:40. Fashionably late, like it had somewhere better to be first. Usually, it shows up at 8, ready to greet the day like a punctual little soldier. Today? More like a confused tourist.
   
And what’s on the big agenda? Cornhole at 10 a.m. I passed.
   
Not because I’m against fun—but because I’m wired a little differently. I’ve juggled five clubs in front of crowds. I’ve built things from scratch. I’ve fought my way back from places most people never even see. So tossing one beanbag back and forth? It feels like trying to fly with one wing.
     
Some people love it—and that’s great. Truly. But me? I’m still reaching for that next level. That next stretch. That next spark. 🔥
   
Meanwhile, my body has decided to audition for the role of
“Miserable Human, Part 2.”
The coughing? Loud.
The congestion? Stubborn.
The overall feeling?
Let’s just say if misery had a mascot,
I’d be wearing the costume today.
And yet… here I am.
Still thinking. Still observing. Still writing.
   
Because even on the slow days—especially on the slow days—something is brewing beneath the surface. That’s where growth hides. That’s where ideas stretch their legs and say, “We’re not done yet.”
   
I drifted into YouTube land for a bit and found The Center Seat—a look at 55 years of Star Trek. Fifty-five years! That hit me right in the memory bank. Suddenly I wasn’t here—I was there. Younger. Watching. Dreaming. Back when the future felt wide open and just waiting for me to step into it.
   
And here’s a beautiful twist—Lucille Ball, of all people, helped make Star Trek happen. A comedian backed a sci-fi gamble when others hesitated. She saw something. She believed early. I love that.
   
Because that’s the story, isn’t it? The real magic often starts with someone saying “yes” before it makes sense. Before it’s proven. Before it’s safe.
     
That’s been my whole life. Say yes. Step forward. Figure it out mid-air. 🤹‍♂️
Now, on the practical side of things… I saw the doctor yesterday.
Prescription called in. I made sure people here knew.
And so far? Silence. No updates. No movement.
And I’ll be honest—that part’s frustrating.
   
Not because I expect perfection—but because when you’re already feeling low, the little things matter even more. Timing matters. Care matters. Follow-through matters.
     
But here’s what I know—deep in my bones:
I’ve been through worse than delays.
I’ve come back from deeper valleys than this.
And I’m still here… still writing… still reaching.
   
So no dramatic exits today. Not this guy. This is just another chapter.
A slower one, sure—but even slow chapters move the story forward.
And you?
   
Are you coasting today…
Or are you tossing something new into the air and daring yourself to catch it? 🎯

>>>>> April 21

Today, I woke at 1:33 a.m.—not to an alarm, but to a mind already in motion. Thoughts about a past dental procedure were lining up, one after another, to be written down. So I’ll put those words together and reach out. I’ll keep you posted on how it unfolds. 
       
I returned to bed for a short rest, but no sleep, though. It is 7 am now. I put together a good letter for the dentist. If you would like to see the letter, let me know, and I will send you a copy. The letter clearly states my wants and needs.
     
Just got my schedule from Maryann. All I have today is I teach juggling at 2 pm for half an hour. Looks like I will need to “make” some things happen for myself today. I will let you know. All the staff have given up on me, thinking that I no longer want to advance or something. That hurts.
     
A doctor came through just and said I definitely had pneumonia (such a strange spelling for this word.) He ordered a higher dose of the antibiotic to help me. Night and day, I am feeling terrible.
     
2:00 time for juggling for a half-hour. One therapist, me, and 3 brain injury folk. A couple is starting to get the idea of the throw-and-catch. The therapist is having trouble throwing her left-hand ball away from her, a common problem for people learning to throw. At one point, she got 3 good throws off and felt the pattern, which was great!

So close, they are building across the street, new condos. Often, they start a project, and nothing is done for a long time. These are going up fast.

>>>>> April 22

So quiet at 4 am, yet here I am.
8 am now. Usually breakfast is here by now, and the schedule. NOTHING.
I would like to go out and run, but with the pneumonia, I can’t.
And, with their rules–that would be a no.
   
At 9:33, it was time to clean. It’s been a couple of days, so, yes, there was stuff. I get so sick of people throwing the putts out as they smoke.
     
At 10 am, there was an Exercise Group. Feeling the way I do, I stayed out for that. Now my only therapy today will be speech with Dino at 2.
     
Looking through YouTube, bored and trying.

        >>>>> April 23

Up early—with a smile already winning the day. 😄
I’m not waiting to see what the day brings…
I’m stepping out to shape it.
That’s the deal: life doesn’t just offer—you create.
Toss the first ball, and the rhythm follows.
   
Every day, I head out to the garden and patio—my own little stage—and do a cleanup. Fifty cigarette butts? Easy. Add in some stray trash, and it’s a full performance. I do it because it feels right, because I like the space better when it’s cared for. The bonus? People notice (?) A thank you here, a smile there. Turns out, when you raise the standard, the world quietly rises with you.
     
And here’s what’s next on the horizon:
https://www.legacypreservetampa.com/
April and Jasmine are working toward getting me in here.
     
This could be the next chapter—and it looks like a good one. Clean lines, fresh start, new energy. I can see myself there… building, growing, living fully. Because no matter where you land, the magic isn’t the place—it’s the person showing up inside it.
   
So maybe today isn’t a “they’re done with me” day…
Maybe it’s a “hold your ground, stay steady… something new is quietly lining itself up” kind of day.

I feel the pull to get outside and run—to move, to fly, to feel that rhythm again…
But today, my lungs are waving a small white flag—
“Easy there, champ… the full show isn’t on stage just yet.”
My mind is laced up and ready to run.
My body’s leaning forward, eager to go.

But my lungs? They’re the wise old coach on the sideline, arms crossed, saying,
“Not today. Heal first—then fly.” 🕊️
And maybe that’s not a setback…
Maybe it’s a setup for a stronger comeback.
   
Alright then. No sprint today.
But this isn’t stopping—it’s strategic pacing.
Because even when the body slows…

The spirit can still stretch, sharpen, and prepare.
And when those lungs say “go” again?
Ohhh… watch out, world. 🏃‍♂️💥

>>>>> April 24

As I woke, I had to laugh a little—is it Friday already… again?
Time isn’t walking these days; it’s juggling flaming torches and sprinting.
The blog? Already built. All that’s left is this final toss—the words you’re reading right now.
   
Today was cardiologist day. Over the past month, I’ve made a handful of visits, and this was the moment when all the pieces came together. The big question: what’s going on with the swelling in my feet?
   
The early word? Heart and veins are looking good. That’s a win. A solid, breathe-easier kind of win. The full results are coming by email, but for now, I’ll take that small victory and tuck it in my pocket. Progress doesn’t always arrive with fireworks—sometimes it whispers, “You’re okay… keep going.”
   
A friend drove me to the appointment, and afterward we celebrated in the most heroic way possible—IHOP (Do you hop?) This is written with Olympic-level pancake enthusiasm. Good food, good company, good conversation. Sometimes that’s the real therapy.
   
Now, the official schedule rolls in:
Game Group at 10 a.m. (we’ll see…)
“Hot Potato” in the therapy gym at 2 p.m. (also… we’ll see…)
Here’s the honest truth—my brain is craving more than reruns and simple games. I’m ready for a challenge, for growth, for something that stretches me. Toss me three balls, not one. Let’s build skill, not just pass time.
   
Because after being here for months, I’m noticing a pattern—too much of the same. And while I truly respect that many therapists care deeply (you can feel that, and it matters), the system itself feels stuck in neutral. I’m just not seeing enough challenges presented for people to climb.
   
For something this important—and yes, this expensive—it should be shifting, adapting, evolving. These are people’s lives, which have been set back by a brain injury. Too often, it leans toward babysitting rather than rebuilding.
   
And that’s the heart of it. People aren’t being challenged to rise—they’re being kept at a level that doesn’t match who they are. These are grown adults, full of potential, yet they’re too often treated as if that maturity hasn’t been earned.
   
Raise the bar, and watch what happens. People don’t just meet expectations—they stretch, they grow, they surprise you. Give them real challenge, real responsibility… and suddenly, you’re not managing people—you’re unlocking them.
   
Lunchtime has started to wear on me. I see many therapists head into the therapy room and lock the door behind them. I understand the need for a break—we all need a moment to reset—but it feels like it sometimes goes too far.
   
At the heart of this place are the patients and their progress. That should always come first. Even small moments of connection, presence, or availability can make a real difference. Right now, it feels like those moments are being missed—and that’s tough to watch.
   
I believe my time at NeuroRestorative is nearing its final chapter. I’ve been treated kindly, and I’m grateful for that—but there are too many limits placed on people who are trying to reclaim their independence.
   
I’ve talked with others here—patients and staff—and the same theme keeps popping up: too many unnecessary restrictions. When a grown adult can’t simply step outside for a walk alone… something’s off.
     
This isn’t about rebellion—it’s about dignity.
It’s about growth.
It’s about being trusted to live again, not just managed.
     
I’ve seen moments of real help here, yes. But I’ve also seen adults handed children’s games, over and over, as if that’s the ceiling. And I’ve seen doors closed—literally—when they should be open. People are here to improve, to rebuild, to rise again. That mission deserves energy, creativity, and bold thinking—not routine and retreat.
     
But here’s the twist—and you knew it was coming…
Even in a place that feels limiting, I’m not limited.
Even in a system that feels stuck, I’m still moving forward.
     
Because the real work? That’s happening inside me.
Every thought, every decision, every refusal to settle.
🎯 The next chapter is warming up backstage.
And when that curtain rises… I’ll be ready.
Stay tuned. This story’s not slowing down—it’s just getting interesting.
===============================

PART 3)–BLOG 374–WHEN PASSION MEETS PURPOSE   

⚡ When Passion Meets Purpose… BOOM ⚡
When passion meets purpose, something inside you doesn’t just click—it ignites. You stop pushing your life uphill like a stubborn wheel… and suddenly, life starts pulling you forward, not by force—but by alignment.
     
🪄🎩Where passion meets purpose is the magical crossroads where what you love aligns with what truly matters. It’s the moment when your energy and the world’s needs meet and say, “Let’s do something great.” In that space, life feels different. You’re not just going through the motions—you’re fully in it, with a sense of fulfillment, authenticity, and a quiet confidence that says, this is exactly where I’m meant to be.

👨‍🏭When passion meets purpose, work stops feeling like work and becomes a form of expression—your voice, your story, your impact all rolled into one. What once felt like effort starts to feel like flow. This is your “sweet spot,” where your inner fire meets a meaningful “why,” turning ordinary days into something powerful… where you don’t just do things—you become them. 🔥🤹 
   
📦You’re no longer just checking boxes—you’re building something that matters. The ordinary begins to glow. The small moments carry weight. And the work you once had to do transforms into something you get to live.
   
💥 It’s the beautiful collision of what lights you up (passion) and why you’re here (purpose). That’s where effort turns into energy. Where joy sneaks into the grind, where your days stop feeling random—and start stacking into something meaningful.
   
📖And here’s where it gets real…
Because I didn’t learn this from a book.
I learned it on the road.
On stages.
On sidewalks.
On hospital beds.
     
🤹 I’ve stood in front of crowds juggling fire and dreams… and I’ve also lain still, unable to move, learning how to speak and walk again. I’ve gone from world-class performer to starting over—more than once, from building a salsa business with my own hands… to rebuilding myself from the ground up.
   
📘And here’s the truth those chapters taught me:
Passion alone won’t carry you through the storms. But purpose will.
You must find your passion and purpose to have a better life.
   
🔥When passion meets purpose, something electric jumps the wire. Suddenly, work isn’t a chore—it’s a stage. You’re not dragging your feet… you’re stepping into the spotlight. Effort becomes fuel. Routine becomes rhythm. And somewhere in the middle of it all—you come alive again.
   
🙄Even when life knocks you flat…
Even when the balls hit the ground…
You don’t quit the act.
You pick them back up—and this time, you juggle with meaning.
   
🔥 What Happens When Passion and Purpose High-Five Each Other?
Your world will explode with joy.
     
🎯 Elevated Performance
When your heart is in it and your “why” is locked in, everything sharpens.
This isn’t about grinding harder—it’s about flowing stronger. You stop forcing excellence… and start embodying it.
   
💪 Greater Resilience
I’ve had life knock me down—hard. Twice over. But purpose? Purpose is the quiet voice that says, “Get up. There’s more in you.” It turns pain into momentum. Setbacks into setups. Drops into the next throw.
     
🌟 Enhanced Meaning
Work stops being a to-do list and becomes a reflection of who you are. Your voice shows up. Your story shows up. And suddenly, what you create carries weight—not just for you… But for everyone it touches.
   
🎪 And here’s the grand finale…
When what lights you up lines up with what calls you forward—watch out. That’s not just productivity… that’s poetry in motion. That’s a life fully engaged. That’s you juggling passion and purpose in the same airspace—and even when you drop one?
     
😀You smile…
You scoop it up…
And you keep the show going.
     
👷This isn’t just work anymore.
This is a comeback story in motion.
This is a life rebuilt with intention.
This is you—on fire in the best possible way.
     
And trust me…
🔥 The world needs that version of you.  🔥
=============================

🌟 PART 7) FINAL THOUGHTS 🌟
Because the best is always still ahead.
So juggle joy like it’s the air you breathe.
The horizon holds more than you can yet imagine.
Your present moment is not the finish line—it’s your starting block.
Chase sunsets as if they’re secret treasures waiting just for you.
Laugh so loudly that tomorrow leans in to listen.

Live as though you’ve only just begun—
BECAUSE YOU TRULY HAVE!
