ABOUT
Location Maryland
Born 1948
Gender Female
Member Standard
Joined June 2022

Interests
painting, writing, traveling,
I am a painter, a writer, and dreamer of dreams. Because these are solitary activities, it is nice to be a part of a community of like-minded people - allowing us to share, grow, and support one another in our writing journeys. I am new to poetry, but have written and published memoirs and travel articles. I have been married for 51 years, have three daughters and 5 grandchildren. Originally from Maryland, I have lived in Germany, Italy, and Egypt.

The NaPoWriMo Challenge 2023 has been a wonderful way to expand my learning as a new poet. I have chosen a subject that evokes an avalanche of mixed emotions, the expression of which is a challenge in and of itself. PSP and Parkinson's come in as many forms as does poetry, so why not use poetry to tell their story ? in all its phases and its colors. Not only did I choose to do this for myself as a means to process how my husband?s diagnosis of PSP has impacted our life, but in doing so, I hope to give voice and comfort to others, so that they know that they are not alone. This collection, by no means complete, is only the beginning. I want to give voice to this journey for those who suffer its devastation and for their care-givers. Through these poems I hope to enlighten others to the challenges and heartache they do not see.
