  1. I am in the process of getting a children's book submitted to publishing should be out in July.

    1. Yes, I want to write... a book, a blog, a newsletter, about Invisible Disabilities, and living well with chronic, progressive, and terminal illnesses. To be succinct, I am newly retired after a career in health & human services, as an advocate for elders and disabled inndivuals, and those in long term care. Diagnosed with IBS, Osteoarthritis, with one knee replacement done, and Trigeminal Neuralgia, I have Depression and Anxiety, both managed pretty well, and am a Survivor of Domestic Abuse, with PTSD.

      1. , have you started researching outlets for your story? You have a lot to speak to, and I'm sure your story would be a life raft for many. Please let us know how you decide to pursue sharing your story. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

      2. - I am dreaming blog, podcast, substack, then a book

    2. Hello everyone. Yes, I have written a number of books about living with certain conditions such as double vision, leg length discrepancy, total knee replacement, and fractured jaw. I am currently updating my website and revamping my laptop, so no links yet. Plus, I am writing another book about living in a body cast for two years. Writing books is time consuming, but well worth it. Thanks for reading. 😀

      1. Thank you Racquel. I can’t wait to check out your link.
        I would like some guidance when it’s time. Just to get me started in the right direction.
