This week is my 4th anniversary since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I was having lunch with a friend when they asked me, “How do you feel about the last 4 years?” I had to think for a moment…. I know, the Perky Parkie speechless… impossible. I remembered how my body felt before the […]
The Life of a Professional Patient
As a child people would ask me, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It was such an exciting question because I could come up with a million of the most splendid ideas for my adultness. First, I wanted to be a princess, all pink and sparkly, with a white horse to […]
Spoiler Alert: This Blog Might Sting A Bit
The title of this post is just a fair warning to the many readers who follow my blog each week, that this will not be the typical humorous, quirky, and witty piece that you are used to. Because with life and love, comes fear and pain. We have to take the good with the bad. […]
Honestly, I Am Not Telling The Truth
Do you ever notice that our lives are filled with avoiding the honest truth? Everyday we partner up for a dance of inaccuracies, fabrications and misrepresentations.

Makali’i Voyaged To My Heart
After enjoying my yummy macadamia nut sticky bun in the Gold Floor lounge, it was time to meet the gang in the lobby for an adventure planned by the Medtronic crew. The day was hot and humid…. Which makes perfect sense seeing as we are on an island that has active volcanoes. It felt […]

When Emotions Get Dropped In The Toilet
It was a long drive to my friend’s house in Palm Desert. Through hours of traffic on the 91 freeway, I had finally made it to my destination, a birthday party for a 3-year-old. Before I could start my friendly hellos, I had to relieve my bladder from the large amounts of delicious lemonade […]
