Dear Carole and others:
It is my firm belief that whenever a door is slammed shut a window
is thrown open; my entire experience w/ this disease is based on that
belief.
As each of my social skills fall by the wayside (make up, vanity, long
hair, voice, storytelling skills, jokes, eating in public, my girlish
figure), I must seek other outlets for expression & I believe this to be
the case with most PWP's...thus the need and opportunity for the book we
are putting together.
The Book, entitled "Voices From The Parking Lot-Parkinson's Stories" &
dedicated to the one & only Don McKinley, is a wonderful, powerful, sad,
happy, angry yet above all else a celebration of life after the
diagnosis of PD. We have over 30 authors whose works have been included,
many from this list-it contains prose, short stories, poetry & art-all
by PWP's or the people who love them. We hope to have further updates on
this work soon, but I wanted to jump on this chance to put in a plug for
it-as your comments seemed to warrant!! Coming Soon...so everyone say a
little prayer for our success. We feel that this will be a remarkable
tool for Parkinson's Awareness
