My Trip To Summer Camp
It’s 6:40am and I am standing at the corner of Delores and 18th street in San Francisco waiting for a bus to take me to summer camp. With a duffel bag in tow, I say my name to a woman wearing bright colors, who is way too cheerful for that time of day. That would […]
Time For My Digital Detox
Well folks, the time has come for me to pack my duffel bag (with enough sassy outfits to cloth a small country), grab my bug spray, and stash my Sinemet. I am going off the grid! My flight to San Francisco leaves tomorrow, where I will be meeting other campers from around the world to […]
Perky Parkie’s Pet Peeves
Perky Parkie’s Pet Peeves… now that is a mouthful! Try to say it 10 times fast… you can’t, it’s impossible. But what isn’t impossible is creating a list detailing some of the things that drive me bonkers! Just because I am the Perky Parkie doesn’t imply that I am Pollyanna all the time. I have […]

Or should I try to exercise when my symptoms are bad, because then I challenge my body to push through the struggle?” Well seeing as I teach fitness classes for those with movement disorders, and I […]
Shhhh… Don’t Say The P-Word!
It feels like I might be missing something in life. It can’t be a mid-life crisis. I am too young for that. Maybe it’s because I am not married, or because I don’t have children… Ok, a furry four-legged child… sorry Crash! It’s like that feeling when you hold a baby (which is very rare […]
In Loving Memory of Ray
One of the difficult things of being in the Parkinson’s community is that many of my friends are older than I am. And while I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be apart of their lives, when they pass, it really hurts. I haven’t had many people close to me die, which can […]
My PD Wolfpack
I apologize for the long delay in my blog posts, but this chicky has been traveling! First stop was Las Vegas for The Davis Phinney Victory Summit. Part of my duties of being an Ambassador for The World Parkinson’s Coalition is to attend PD conferences and talk to people about the upcoming WPC 2016 being […]
