Move Light. Live Bright.

One week ago, Brad and I got married. ❤️ We kept it quiet on purpose. Just family, close friends, and the people who truly matter to us. This day didn’t belong to social media. It belonged to us.

When I look at this photo, I don’t see a wheelchair. I don’t see lupus. I don’t see pain. I see my husband’s hand in mine. I see trust. I see love. And I see two people who survived some very difficult storms to get here.

A year ago, I was sitting beside Brad’s hospital bed, holding his hand and praying that he would live. Today, I get to call him my husband. That still takes my breath away.

People told me to leave. To walk away. To give up. But I saw the man behind the disease. Just like lupus does not define who I am, alcoholism does not define who he is. Our illnesses are part of our story. They are not our identity.

Something else many people don’t know: on our wedding day, I walked down the aisle without my cane. Not because I wasn’t in pain. Not because I was suddenly healthy. But because for a few precious moments, love was bigger than the pain.

I couldn’t have a traditional first dance with my husband. And you know what? Nothing was missing. Because love isn’t measured by how long you can dance. Love is measured by who still holds your hand when you can’t.

This isn’t my first marriage. But with a certainty I’ve never felt before, I know it will be my last. Because never in my life have I felt so seen, so safe, and so accepted. With all my scars. All my flaws. And everything life has shaped me into.

And maybe that’s exactly what makes this the greatest love story of my life. ❤️

I can hardly believe it, but this is my first time back at the park after an entire year.

For the past year, between everything life has thrown my way, I rarely had the chance to just get out and move around freely like this. Feeling the sun on my face, catching the breeze in my hair, and taking in the familiar sights of the trees and the river—it’s a feeling I’ve missed so much, and it honestly feels incredible.

My "partner in crime" for today’s outing is the OAS Air Ultra. I used to worry so much about the logistics of getting out and about, but with this chair, I’ve realized that getting back to nature doesn't have to be complicated. It’s so intuitive and easy to control, guiding me smoothly along the paths and letting me enjoy the melting ice by the river. That sense of independence and being in control of my own journey means the world to me.

I get asked a lot about how I choose my gear, and my answer is always the same: go with what makes you feel comfortable and gives you the confidence to get out there and explore.

If you’re looking for a way to get out more, or if you’ve been searching for a reliable companion for your own adventures, I can’t recommend the OAS Air Ultra enough. It’s truly made a huge difference in my daily life. If you decide to pick one up for yourself, you can use my code "KEELIE" to save some money! 💰

Life always finds a way to spring back to life. I hope we all get to find our own sense of freedom and discover a little more of ourselves along the way. ✨

My life has seen many unpredictable moments. Due to paralysis and the health challenges that come with it, I often feel overwhelmed. A manual wheelchair was once an essential part of my life, but on days when my health dips, the physical toll it takes leaves me feeling limited—and sometimes, things I love feel out of reach.

Everything changed the moment I discovered the OAS Air Ultra.

It’s more than just a piece of equipment; it’s the key to my independence. Even on days when I’m feeling weak and unable to use a manual chair, the Air Ultra lets me head out with confidence. Whether it’s hitting the shops, soaking up the sun at the park, or taking my pup for a walk—things that once felt "impossible" during health flares are now effortless.

The chair is incredibly lightweight, weighing in at only 36 lbs. What really gives me peace of mind is their 7-day at-home trial policy: if it’s not the perfect fit for you, they cover the return costs, which speaks volumes about how much they stand by their product.

I’m sharing my story because I want anyone dealing with physical limitations to know that you still have the right to explore this world. With the right tool, you can truly expand your horizons.

OAS is currently running their Brand Month event, which is the best price they offer all year. If you’ve been looking for a way to improve your mobility, don’t miss out. Make sure to use my code "BELLA" at checkout to get $35 off orders over $200!

I hope you all find your own way to freedom. ✨
