Welcome to The Giggler!
👋 Howdy! My name is Alexa. I initially started this newsletter as a place to share my original zany absurdist fiction with fellow goofballs, starting with my serialized adventure novel Over the Top Secret. Then my husband was diagnosed with ALS just before our wedding and our entire world turned upside down. Though we accepted the diagnosis from “experts,” we did not accept their advice to get our affairs in order. We immediately set out to save Kealoha’s life. This newsletter is now a documentation of our adventures in our mission to save Kealoha from ALS.
We moved to Maui, Hawaii to be close to family and immersed in nature’s healing energy. We purged all toxic products, foods, and habits from our home and have overhauled every aspect of our lives in service of preserving Kealoha’s strength, constitution, spirit, and faith. Kealoha already has the strongest foundation imaginable— he hadn’t once gotten sick in the six years I’d known him before his diagnosis, he heals from injuries like Wolverine, and he has absolutely astounding mental fortitude. Plus, his faith has grown even stronger than mine. If ANYONE can beat this “terminal” disease, it’s Kealoha.
Why “The Giggler?”
Though the content of this newsletter has changed considerably from what it was at the start, I’ve kept the name, The Giggler, because that’s me! THE original Giggler. The OG. Ha. I’ve grown and changed tremendously on this journey, but I’m still a fun-loving goofball. It’s just that now I’m navigating the perilous waters of my husband’s “terminal” diagnosis alongside him. Just imagine Luffy and Zoro from one piece and you get a pretty accurate snapshot of our dynamic.
But seriously. I live my life with the wide-eyed curiosity and enthusiasm of an animated character. I’m a voice actress and writer. My inner child is very much alive. Since these updates are coming to you through my unique perspective, you can expect a healthy dose of optimism, gratitude and transparency in my updates from the front lines of this war.
