About me
PROFILE:
I have been writing poetry and stories since I was a child, and a love of reading was instilled in me from an early age. I am passionate about writing, and hope you enjoy the books I have written. Whilst most of you sleep soundly in your beds, like many Parkinson’s patients, insomnia dictates, so during those hours that sleep eludes me, the house is tranquil and quiet, an atmosphere perfect to immerse myself in writing. My life has been a series of strange events, which have without doubt contributed to my creativity. To publish anything is to bear one’s soul to the world. It is to stand naked and let everyone see who you really are. I have poured my heart and soul out on paper and I hope to share this journey, immersing you in a story, capturing your attention and firing the imagination. Through my writing and public speaking I hope to bring greater awareness to the general public about living with chronic disease.

It's a wonderful life
The film "It's a Wonderful Life", a much loved favourite
starring James Stewart, is often watched at this time of year during the Holiday
season. If Clarence (an angel in the film) were to magically appear, revealing
what life would have been like, had you never been born; would you end up
embracing the life you have, even if like myself, you suffer from ill health? James
Stewart who plays the leading role of George, understands at the end the film,
that however insignificant we might feel, the small role we may have been
assigned in life, and sometimes plans go awry, this is the life
we were supposed to lead. We may play some small part in the bigger picture,
but had we not been here at all, things might have been very different. I like to
believe that we can all make a difference - the impact may not seem monumental,
or earth shattering, but like a domino effect, every action, each word spoken or written, may have changed or touched someone at a crucial
point. I am sure that most people have done something during their lives,
possibly that they are unaware of, that has made a significant impact on
others. For those who are celebrating the Holidays I wish you seasonal
greetings and a truly wonderful life!
