@maddistrokeofluck and @tawnietheneuromermaid chat about building strong habits on our weekly Survivor Sunday chat. Tawnie is stepping outside her comfort zone by taking cold morning showers and iam continuing to increase my daily activity. I had a fun time taking the ferry out to bainbridge island to see @gregrunsfar and do my first @parkrunusa 5k. Set a personal record walking the 5k in 55'47 so now I have a benchmark for the next 5k endeavor. * I'm motivated to get moving as often as I can! Hope everyone has a great week and let us know what habits you're building these days. Onward! P

"I'd rather be vulnerable with the world than suffer in silence."-Ty Hawkins @maddistrokeofluck and Tawnietheneuromermaid chat with @twothet2.0 about his remarkable stroke recovery, mental health journey, disability advocacy, passion for basketball, and his book, Becoming the Light. Really inspiring conversation, thank you Ty for the incredible insights around prioritizing mental health after experiencing trauma and putting in the hard work for recovery. Thank you Ty also for emphasizing that there is always more to a person's story than what meets the eye, and for talking about life with an invisible disability. Looking forward to seeing what exciting things you have planned for the new year. Onward! ?? Check out Ty's book: https:// tymiakhawkins.com/
