Have you ever, or do you want to, publish a book about your story?

I haven’t published a book yet, but I’ve been sharing my story piece by piece through articles and reflections. You can find many of my health-related insights and personal takes on advocacy on my blog.

My biggest tip for anyone wanting to start writing is: don’t wait for a “perfect” moment or structure. Start with a single thought, an experience, or even a question. Let it grow naturally. Write like you’re talking to a friend who truly needs to hear what you have to say. The polish can come later — the heart should come first.

Thank you

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

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.
