As a child I was an avid reader and I loved writing stories and poems. Then I grew up, became a primary school teacher and forgot all about it. In 2017 I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and all of a sudden I discovered that I had a lot more stories, poems and writing inside of my head that needed to get out. Now I am an active member of ‘Poets with Parkinson’s’ and I enjoy all kinds of writing.
