OT
18 Year Cycles. 25 Years as OT. Ending 2021 and On to 2022
Friday, December 24, 2021, 9:05 am, by Mardy Ross
I am composing this, initially, on Christmas Eve (2021). 
I'm reflective at this time of year, always, but moreso this than ever before. The winter solstice has long been a time when I want to have solitude in the evenings at the very least. New Years Eve as well, increasingly, since I was underway in my 30s, working to become an OT. read more »

What IS Occupational Therapy? Defining "Occupation" First Would be Grate!
For those of you who are new to all of this, you might be wondering... what IS Occupational Therapy? And, why do I keep telling you to seek out an occupational therapist?

Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 8:52 pm, by Mardy Ross
I'm glad we had so many people at least become aware of the resources available on Lumigrate.com related to fibromyalgia with Awareness Day last Wednesday. This past week I've been 'switching it up' to find some new FUNctional information for people to have access to at Lumigrate. I like to say that fibromyalgia is a bad case of what a lot of other people have going on, so any information appropriate for fibro is likely of interest to MANY others. When you look at 'what ails us', 20% of the US population is 'on the continuum for fibromyalgia' (per Dr. read more »

Hi I'm Petie - an OT Friend and Colleague of Mardy's
