This was a saying in my family growing up. Sounds far less pretentious than aiming to be a lifetime legend. I have started interviewing some professional people for my podcast and they have valuable information to provide on ‘legal things’ like Wills and Enduring Powr of Attorney or Age Concern services and Elder abuse –Continue reading “Be a legend in your own lunchtime! – Podcast”

Anyone happy to be interviewed for my new podcast?
Hi, this is especially for those of my followers who have been with me on my journey with this blog and we have shared a lot together. That doesn’t preclude any new people. I have very few followers at the moment on the podcast, but hoping if I can get some good interviews that willContinue reading “Anyone happy to be interviewed for my new podcast?”
I’m a hugger, is this a Parkies thing?
I have always been a hugger for those I am close to, like my husband, my children and my grandchildren. I may have become even more so with the advent of Parkinson’s in my life. I wonder if those of you listening to this podcast have noticed an increased tendency to hug? I hope youContinue reading “I’m a hugger, is this a Parkies thing?”
I love my husband – A poem not about Parkinson’s
Just because life is not all about Parkinson’s, I like to write and share the odd poem and this is an odd poem! I hope you like it.
A hidden issue – how can I be seen?
I’ve written before in this blog about hidden disabilities and how challenging it can be to not only live with them, but for others to understand. I often use the analogy of a person in a wheelchair at the bottom of some steps. No reasonable person would expect them to be able to get upContinue reading “A hidden issue – how can I be seen?”
There are no experts in Parkinson’s – Oh, yes there are – A Podcast
As a follow on from the previous blog post, I thought I would add the podcast in case you might like to listen to it. I always say that we are the ones who are experts and I firmly believe that. No two Parkinson’s presentations are the same. Your Parkinson’s will be different from everybodyContinue reading “There are no experts in Parkinson’s – Oh, yes there are – A Podcast”
Acts of service – love in a fruitcake
I wrote a blog about this topic many years ago. It came out of a brief counselling session my now husband and I had right at the beginning of our trying to get to know and understand each other. What can I say? It’s a work in progress… Acts of service are the way someContinue reading “Acts of service – love in a fruitcake”
Why I think I’m qualified to talk about Parkinson’s
I am the third person in the family to have Parkinsons. Both my Mum and Dad had Parkinsons and I supported them in their journeys. Now, I have Parkinsons and was Diagnosed on 15/12/20. In addition, I have 20 years of experience in working with people with various health issues, including health issues relevant toContinue reading “Why I think I’m qualified to talk about Parkinson’s”
Discussing the future – Podcast
The is an important topic and one which is never going to be easy. However, the way I wanted to handle it was to initiate the discussion early so that I could fully participate. My husband was reluctant to discuss at first as he felt it was far too early to do so. I originallyContinue reading “Discussing the future – Podcast”
Maybe I’ve been a bit harsh!
A few days ago I wrote a post about culling my Facebook friend list. After a discussion with someone whose opinion I value, I realised that maybe I had been a bit harsh. There may be many reasons why we don’t keep in contact with people and some of those reasons we don’t necessarily shareContinue reading “Maybe I’ve been a bit harsh!”
