    About Me

    I am a 47 year old Christian woman, diagnosed with PD at 44, most probably having it more at the age of 31, however misdiagnosed. Three children, all grown, and a wonderful husband of 27 years. I am a writer who loves to garden, to draw and paint, sing and laugh, take pictures and enjoy the ocean on a stormy or a sunny day. I have a new website to encourage PD people: www.parkinsonsjourney.com. It is just beginning - stop by and feel free to contribute!

    Interests

    I love to write - children's books, devotionals, journals, and am working on my first novel. I love to paint and draw and take pictures. I love to be outside in my garden even if it means being stiff!!! I love to spend time with my husband and my kids. I love to sing and drive in the country, watch a sunset and sunrise, hear the waves crash against the cliffs, imagine the smell (!) of fresh cut grass and just...life! It becomes more precious each day. Some days are hard, but it could always be worse and I am trying to live each day as if it's the last. Someday I want to jump out of a plane - with a working parachute, of course.
