We live in a time when advances in technology have improved our communication and allowed us connect with people everywhere. Now, you can FaceTime or Skype your best friend and have an intimate, real-time, face-to-face conversation about important things such as rainbows and unicorns, regardless of where you live in the world. As a kid, […]

A Grasshopper Walks Into A Bar…

July 13, 2014 By: PerkyParkie3 Comments

Each year I put together an event called the Unity BBQ.  This is a way for me to help take the politics out of the Parkinson’s community by offering a day that we can come together and support the cause.  This being our 4th year, I teamed up with National Parkinson’s Foundation-Orange County Chapter to […]

Vanilla Chai and Dust Rhinos

July 8, 2014 By: PerkyParkie6 Comments

  Whenever I have a project to do, such as writing, studying, or even paying bills, I feel it’s required that I clean off my desk prior to starting the task at hand.  Sounds reasonable, right?  That is, unless you are me.  I can spend hours cleaning my desk off, just to realize that I […]

Make A Wish!

June 26, 2014 By: PerkyParkie8 Comments

It’s my birthday today. I have always loved this day, unlike some people who dread it like getting their teeth cleaned. This torment is mostly because of the whole “getting old” part. I mean, some people are so terrified, that they will even lie or quietly omit stating their actual age. But not me, I […]

Am I Funny?

June 12, 2014 By: PerkyParkie6 Comments

I have been told that I have a good sense of humor, but the fact that I laugh at myself on a daily basis, doesn’t necessarily mean that I am funny… I am just a dork. Soon this theory that people have about me, will be put to the test. I have had the honor […]

When Did I Get So Old?

May 28, 2014 By: PerkyParkie8 Comments

I am in complete denial that I am getting older. My brother went to his 20-year high school class reunion this year…. I laughed at him, until I did the math. My 20-year reunion is next year! How is this possible? I used to go days without wearing makeup as a teenager, but now, I […]

Sometimes Love Isn’t Enough

May 14, 2014 By: PerkyParkie14 Comments

  What is a Blog? The definition that makes most sense to me is an online journal. While most people hide their deep inner thoughts and feelings, I write them down and post them for all to see on the web. My blogs are very personal. Most include humor, but all posts come from my […]

The Power Of Sharing Your Story

April 29, 2014 By: PerkyParkie6 Comments

  I have never been on a train before. When you spend the last three decades of your life fighting just to exist, traveling is usually put on the back burner. But here I am, with a glass of wine and looking out the window of the Amtrak going 110 mph. With the beautiful scenery […]

Death. Everyone Is Doing It, But No One Is Talking About It.

April 16, 2014 By: PerkyParkie7 Comments

Enter the big pink elephant smack dab in the middle of your living room. I feel that part of my responsibility, as an assiduous blogger, is to chat about the things that people think about, but don’t necessarily talk about. I was talking to a friend earlier this week, when she told me that her […]

25 Signs That You Might Have Parkinson’s

April 4, 2014 By: PerkyParkie4 Comments

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 […]

Perky Parkie

I am a medical anomaly, advocate for people, freakishly smart, believer of unicorns, self-proclaimed addict of frozen yogurt, secretly a ninja, and personally planning the assassination of Barbie...Oh and I have Parkinson's disease. If I could describe myself in one sentence, I wouldn't be blogging!

Wellness Life Coaching

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 […]
