Hi, I’m Leesha.

I’m 30, flirty, and thriving. Just kidding. That’s a nod to one of my favorite movies, 13 Going on 30.
I am 30, though. Flirty, but only with my husband, Davo (which is a nickname from when I met him, coincidentally at 13). And thriving, but definitely not by this world’s standards.
(2024 Update: I’m now 31, but there’s no cute movie reference for that.)

I’ve spent the past 11 years battling chronic pain. And if these 11 years have taught me anything, it’s that humans connect to emotions and struggles even if the circumstances aren’t the same. So, I hope you won’t discount me, or yourself for that matter if our situations differ somewhat or even drastically. Because we’re capable of offering each other grace, understanding, and kindness no matter how different or similar we are.

A picture seemed like a good idea so you could see whose words you’re reading - I’m the one with long hair, in case it was hard to tell. I used a picture of my husband and me, mainly because I love him, but also because I have literally no pictures without him.
