If you have not gone to Scratch you have missed a fantastic, different, intimate and delicious food made from Scratch. I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful evening with three of my closest….Bronwyn, Jen and Liz.
It could also be the reason why I am up at 12.53am walking the house, stretching on the stairs hoping to get some dopamine flowing into this sporadic moving body. As I looked at each of these beautiful ladies I suddenly felt a wave of panic and loneliness…..they are ALWAYS close by, they make me laugh, angry, sentimental, powerful and encourage me no matter what. In 6 days I leave to challenge Parkinson’s to step aside while I summit Kilimanjaro.
So, here I am wandering around the house missing everyone, missing all my safe spots in my house. My heart beats fast, my mind wanders to unpleasant thoughts, am I doing the right thing? I think about my dad and his adventures in the wilds of Africa, my mother and her fight and loss to brain cancer at 42yrs old. I think back to my conversation with Roger and his life changing experience on Kilimanjaro, Tonya a young mother, powerful professional, two deep brain implants and continues to be active while fighting Parkinson’s. Shame on me for whining……look at all I have, so much to look forward to. After Kilimanjaro I have a half marathon to run and co-hosting with JohnnyMagic on 106.7.
Where do I go to get out of this funk….. Yep,…headphones and some Maroon5 and Pitbull will always do it for me. Parkinson’s who? We are going to find a cure so GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!!
