Living with Parkinson’s has brought daily challenges — tremors, fatigue, and brain fog often get in the way. But when I could no longer work, I decided to finally chase a dream I’d carried inside me for over 20 years: to write a book.

This year, I did it. 📖

I published The Good God Guide — a surreal, comic adventure inspired by Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and a pinch of Monty Python. It was written entirely on my Android phone, with a little help from ChatGPT to polish and expand my words when Parkinson’s made writing tough.

I’m a very private person, but I want to share this because I hope it encourages others — with or without Parkinson’s — to go after the dream that’s been sitting quietly in the back of their mind.

Sometimes, the impossible is just waiting for you to take the first step.

Just a short and sweet little poem of the thoughts in my head. #Anxiety #lonely #wisdom #Inspiration #solitude #Depression #MentalHealth #MightyTogether

From Low to Rise

In the depths, I felt so small,
Drowning in darkness, ready to fall.
But a spark ignited deep inside,
A whisper of hope, my heart’s guide.

With each small step, I found my way,
Rising from shadows into the day.
Though scars remain, I stand tall and free,
A journey of strength, reclaiming me.
In the depths, I felt so small,
Drowning in darkness, ready to fall.
But a spark ignited deep inside,
A whisper of hope, my heart’s guide.

With each small step, I found my way,
Rising from shadows into the day.
Though scars remain, I stand tall and free,
A journey of strength, reclaiming me.

"Fate only minds you if you let it. Your thoughts, your choices, your actions shape your destiny. Don't let external circumstances define your path. Take control, rise above, and conquer your mind.

You are the architect of your life. Build a foundation of resilience, courage, and determination.

Remember:

Your mind is powerful. Use it wisely.
Your choices shape your future. Choose wisely.
Your strength lies within. Tap into it.

Break free from the chains of doubt and fear. Rise above the noise. You got this!
