Dancing with an Elephant

The media could not be loaded.  Dancing With an Elephant is one of the most powerful books I have ever read! The author takes you so close to her that you can only feel incredible caring and understanding for what it is like to overcome a physical affliction. I would like to share something from her website and from inside the book:"Parkinson's Disease is an insidious thief. Dopamine producing cells are dying off for years before the first obvious symptom appears to the patient. By this time, most of these critical cells have been destroyed leaving the patient with a mere 20% that continue to function until, they too, die. It attacks the physical body robbing it of abilities once taken for granted. Crueler yet, it can plant paralyzing fear in the mind.""Without consciously being aware of it, I had allowed fear to put limitations on me. In so doing, I'd quit experiencing so much that life has to offer. I'd built walls around myself, but they were beginning to crack. Fear was consuming me and threatening to take over. I could no longer hide behind it. I wanted my life back."Her website holds more information and has the same name as the title of the book dot com.
