Jim Moss - Personal Life

Personal Life

Jim has been married to his wife Jen since July 9th, 2005. The couple has one son, Wyatt, a daughter, Olivia, and are expecting their third child in July, 2013.

In September, 2009, Jim Moss contracted Guillane-Barre Syndrome. Currently, this diagnosis has been rescinded, leaving his diagnosis as an undefined neuro-muscular disease. The Auto-immune disease stands to end Jim's professional sports career and he has been recording events about the recovery at his blog site. After keeping a private gratitude journal in the hospital and while he learned to walk again, he began to share this publicly which garnered much support. By simply writing what made him smile or that he was grateful for on a piece of paper above an image of a smile, his current project, The Smile Epidemic, was born.

    “Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    “Persecution was at least a sign of personal interest. Tolerance is composed of nine parts of apathy to one of brotherly love.”
    —Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)

    “In the country, without any interference from the law, the agricultural life favors the permanence of families.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
