I have to say I am very lucky life has been good to me! As a child I was either in dance class, discovering the world as an “Army Brat”, or had my nose in a book. Mother always knew where I was! Growing up in the military I had a lack of roots but a wonderful education. Living in Japan from the age of five through seven and on Okinawa from twelve to fourteen I A speech and Drama major, English minor at the university of Maryland I pursued my love of words, both written and spoken, for two years when I chucked it all to experience “Life up on the wicked stage” with The American Light Opera Company in Washington DC. The theater was my passion, and trained me well for a career as a New Home Sales Consultant, for as Shakespear taught us ”All the world is a stage”. A late bloomer, I feel it is never to late to try something new! Still pursuing a love of words I now spend my spare time writing and illustrating “Little Books” for my children and grandchildren. Thoroughly challenging my shaky hand. Amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it! Being diagnosed with Parkinson’s really makes you stop and think. Gone is the security of a lifetime career, the friendships of the work-a-day world, and the life you have previously lived. Once the denial wears off you put things in perspective and focus on what you were always going to do “tomorrow”. So when Greg offered me my first motorcycle adventure, I was off and running. It was then that I was introduced to the motorcycle traveler’s way of life, and it soon became my dream. Once his schedule was slightly shifted it did not take Greg long to come up with a plan that will take us around this great wide world on the ultimate globe ride! Health and finances permitting, the dream becomes reality, as I look forward to yet another new beginning. After all….It’s not over, till the fat lady sings! |
