On Being the Same

May 24, 2020 by Leah Stodden and Lindsay Clarke 1 Comment

Boy do we miss going to the movies.  Late last year, Leah and I discovered $5 movie night at the movie theater closest to her house on Tuesday nights. Every week (pre-COVID), I would drive from Kansas City to Omaha from Tuesday-Thursday to work with Leah. This was perfect. I looked up movie times before … [Read more…]

On Seeing People First

April 18, 2020 by Leah Stodden and Lindsay Clarke Leave a Comment

A few months back, I was Leah’s transportation to classes she was taking each week in Omaha. The drive would take about 30 minutes each way. Oh how I enjoyed our designated car time.  This was a confined space where just the two of us could catch up on the latest guests that Ellen had … [Read more…]

On Meeting Mr. Bridges

April 8, 2020 by Leah Stodden and Lindsay Clarke Leave a Comment

When most people hear the name Bridges associated with Hollywood, the name Jeff precedes it. You know, “The Dude” from The Big Lebowski…that Jeff Bridges. This is not the case for Leah.

Forever Love: The Beginning

March 11, 2020 by Leah Stodden and Lindsay Clarke 2 Comments

Before we launch our Forever Love series, we want to take a moment to embrace Women’s History Month. This past Sunday, the world experienced an outpouring of support for women. The lifting up was being held and propelled by a melting pot of humans: friends, husbands, daughters, business owners, and beyond. To me, International Women’s … [Read more…]

The Journey To My Own Apartment: The Now

February 1, 2018 by Leah Stodden and Lindsay Clarke 3 Comments

It’s here. It’s now. I gaze past my computer at the field outside the living room window. My sister’s living room window. A moment I had always rooted for but was never certain would be possible. I was soaking it all in, preparing to write about the magnitude of the moment, when I realized that … [Read more…]
