A Letter PD on our 7th Anniversary

March 16, 2017 By: PerkyParkie12 Comments

This Saturday is my 7-year anniversary of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I wonder what Parkinson’s will give me to celebrate 7 years of having a committed relationship with it? Whoa… to think back to all the memorable moments that we have spent together… Priceless. I felt that the best way to celebrate our courtship […]

Dreaming about Parkinson’s

March 2, 2017 By: PerkyParkie6 Comments

It was a bright sunny day as I pull up to the curb of a grassy park. The sky was bright blue with an occasional fluffy cloud leisurely drifting by. I feel the warmth of the sun beaming down on my face as I slowly get out of my car. I pull a yoga mat, […]

When you have Parkinson’s disease, it’s easy to focus on what you’ve lost. You feel as if Parkinson’s has stripped away a part of who you are and you will never be able get that back.  This can be overwhelming and seemingly hopeless. But knowing I always look for the brighter side of things, I […]

Things I learned at “Moving with Apple”

January 26, 2017 By: PerkyParkie6 Comments

It was Saturday morning and I was on an adventure to the Apple store in Irvine, California. For the last 6 months, I have been working with the Apple team to coordinate workshops specifically designed for people with movement disorders.

After the great success of our first “Moving with Apple” workshop last August, I was super-duper excited when the team at the Apple store in Irvine, California contacted me to help with creating a second event for people with movement disorders.  This workshop will focus on mind, body and voice… starting the New Year off […]

Adventures At The Pharmacy

January 13, 2017 By: PerkyParkie10 Comments

It was a rainy day in California and I was on my way to the local pharmacy. A trip that I make quiet often, seeing as my life rotates around a carousel of pills.   I walk toward the counter where the pharmacist makes eye contact with me, but shows no sign of recognition.   It’s kind […]

Wellness Life Coaching

January 9, 2017 By: PerkyParkie2 Comments

What are your goals for the upcoming year? One of my intentions for 2017 was to expand my reach in the community, but seeing as there is only one of me, (thank goodness, one of me is enough) I had to come up with creative ways I could help people who were slightly out of […]

December 25, 2016 By: PerkyParkie2 Comments

What is my family like you ask?  If my past two blogs in which I detailed how my family transforms into the Griswold Family from the National Lampoons Christmas Vacation didn’t give you a clear enough answer….well here they are as I introduce my family while playing the Photo Booth Eggnog Game.  Enjoy!  

Retribution Was Harsh And Swift

December 16, 2016 By: PerkyParkie10 Comments

I mentioned in my last blog, that as we get closer to Christmas, my family transforms into the Griswold family from “National Lampoons Christmas Vacation”.  Now it is time to present more evidence to support my argument…. Exhibit B. Christmas 2007: My mom has a mouth that can make a sailor blush.  My Dad always […]

Meet My Family…. The Griswold’s

My Griswold Family

My family tends to be pretty normal during most of the year, but getting closer to Christmas time, I see a transformation.  Now I am not talking about the fact that during the holiday season, everyone is a little bit nicer to each other, or that maybe we slow down just enough to be grateful […]

25 Signs That You Might Have Parkinson’s

Now readers, before I get started, I want to remind you that my blog is strictly for entertainment purposes and is not meant to diagnosis or treat any medical illness.  I am not a doctor, and although I am freakishly smart, you should probably follow-up with someone a little more serious than myself. 1.  Being […]
