"The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other's welcome and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was yourself. Give wine, Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life. Whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart."

I have Stiff Person Syndrome.  I live with it, not for it.  SPS is not my identity.  This section is about me...the ordinary person behind a rare disorder.  These pages are glimpses into the beauty of my world and food for my soul.

I am a woman with a woman's heart.  Recently remarried, I am rediscovering the miracle of loving and being loved...as me.  I am richly blessed to be a mother and grandmother...always in my heart.

I am an earthy girl - barefoot in the grass, picnics, a gentle breeze caressing my face, and  sunset.  I love thunderstorms.  Curious, I am an avid student of life.  People are my passion, especially the individually unique.  

Words are magic.  I love to read and write.  Expressions of music and art touch my soul.  My tastes in food, entertainment, and music are diverse and eclectic, dependent on craving and mood.  

Cursed or blessed, (depends on the individual and circumstance); I have an ornery, quirky sense of humor, creating loads of fun, chaos, or trouble?

While I enjoy social interaction, I cherish solitude, thrive on it.  A deep thinker, I submerge in thought.  

My comfort and strength come from my personal faith and relationship in my Savior, Jesus Christ.  Life is full and rewarding, filled with promise...in spite of.

DON'T QUIT
