| Greetings, Who am I? I am a wife, a Mum and a Granny. I am a friend. I am a writer and a photographer. I use my computer to create combinations of images and words. I call my computer my silent friend. I have Parkinson's Disease... "So my soul is sad, damn it, at times, depressed... More than I should, I express what I would, It's healthy for me...Fear not, my spirit breathes passion, fiery like a dragon, to think, to love, to laugh, to write and to make a difference, And cough from my craw this crab of self-righteous self-pity...Unlike a shed shell." I have devloped my own little creed which makes sense to me...Life is a one-act play, not an earthly rehearsal. I don't have or need a relationship with an all-knowing God. Instead I have a chorus of inner angels, ones without wings, who are the feedback loop between my external being and my conscience. My wingless angels are the memories of people whose guidance I have trusted and whose love I have felt. They are the tidbits of wisdom, humor and common sense that have been imparted to me over the years. It is up to me to make the time to listen and to make decisions based on all the information I have at the time... Personal accountability is the basis for my value system. So this is she and she is me: a woman who lives passionately, takes risks, loves words, and finds beauty where many do not look. Most of all a woman thankful for a loving family and a multitude of friends. |
Before retiring early with Parkinson's, I was a nurse, a hospital administrator, a healthcare technology and managment consultant and a human resouces director. Now I write, take photos and spend time with friends and family ---not a bad twist of fate! My roots are English, my branches are American and my leaves reflect the joy and despair of the world. |
