I am both exhausted and energized as I sit in my Jet Blue Airplane, waiting for take off. I have had the amazing opportunity of spending the weekend in New York City; one that I will never forget. I felt like Carrie Bradshaw from the television show, “Sex and the City”. Just like Carrie, […]
Parkinson’s And The Zombie Apocalypse
I have to admit my guilty pleasure is the television series, “Walking Dead”. For those of you that have not had the pleasure of seeing the show, here is a quick synopsis compliments of Wikipedia and AMC, “The series begins following a sheriff’s deputy who awakens from a coma to find himself in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by […]
80% Threshold In Parkinson’s Disease
If you have been living under a rock, you might not know that April is Parkinson’s awareness month. This means I should make you aware of something related to Parkinson’s disease. So I could throw out standard definitions or statistics that you might have already heard. But I prefer the other option, which is shocking […]
True Religion Designer Jeans or Generic Jeans?
I have always loved “True Religion” jeans. The way they form to my body and accentuate all the right curves, while minimizing my fluffy parts…. yes, every girl has parts they would like to hide. These slacks are God’s gift to women. Just see the picture to the right of my derriere with those sexy jeans […]
The Easter Bunny Missed My House Today
Today is Easter, but it doesn’t feel like it. As a little girl, I remember Easter being full of colorful baskets, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and fake grass. Each year my mom would buy me an adorable Easter dress to wear to church, including the white leather shoes to match. On that morning, I […]
My long night with a monster named Dystonia.

It is a neurological disorder who likes to ride with Parkinson’s disease,m in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures (compliments of Wikipedia). Why do I consider it to be a monster? Well as you can see by the video, it makes my foot contract into an […]
No, I am not wearing only a bra and yes, that is my dirty laundry
I felt that making a response to my diagnosis video of Parkinson’s disease was in order. Many of you were impacted by the video showing how bad my symptoms had gotten without medication. I had gotten many questions from people who were curious how I was doing today, 3 years after my young onset diagnosis. Not […]
What do you get for your 3rd anniversary?
I was given a copy of the video that was created when I got the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) at age 32. Seeing as the is no definitive test to determine if you have PD, you are left with trial and error of various medications. If the medications work, that most likely means that […]
I hate Barbie, the bitch has everything!
After a nice weekend last November, I was in Denver, Colorado for the Davis Phinney’s Victory Summit, and I got to visit an old friend. As we sat down for breakfast to catch up, I was happy to hear that we both have had a great year of good health. The only catch is that […]
Hello. Do you believe in unicorns?
I ‘m in line at Trader Joe’s, which sells the best, reasonably priced, mostly healthy……well except for their mini mint mouthful ice cream sandwiches, which are in my opinion made by chubby angels and then float down on little fluffy clouds……sorry, I am digressing. So I approach the cash register to see a smiling woman […]
