Davis Phinney’s quote “Living Well with Parkinson’s” is more than an inspirational mantra to me and my family. It has become a daily goal and keeps me reminded of my purpose and my “spot” in life. With long happy years spent in a busy, demanding Kindergarten classroom, I had a secure “spot” in my life, my purpose and my future. But, because of Parkinson’s Disease I felt deeply the loss of my career. I struggled getting used to my new, unpredictable symptoms and looking for the new “spot” in my own life. With the support of the Davis Phinney Foundation, I am re-adjusting my focus and settling into living WELL daily with Parkinson’s.
My “family” has grown to include an AMAZING group of others with Parkinson’s and we exercise, dance and box multiple times in a week! Give me a call and you will find me exercising, boxing or practicing Krav Maga (!!), or hanging out in my backyard with my husband, our two German Shepherds, a fire in the fire pit and Face Timing our 6 grandchildren!
I’m finding my purpose, loving my “spot” and enjoying Moments of Victory. Today, I’m living well with Parkinson’s.
