Look at that sunset; to me it looks like a soaring eagle.
ALOHA!!!
We are in Wailea on the island of Maui, where we have been many times before. Why? After my Graceland pratfall, I was terrified of traveling. Mr. Twitchy offered it as a bribe, but on the condition that, THIS TIME, we would plan to do NOTHING. No kayaking. No snorkeling. No anything. Just sit at the pool, watch the humpback whales (from the shore!), eat, read, nap, be massage whores and rest. And nap some more.
We arrived on Monday and as I write this it is Wednesday evening and so far, so good. In fact, so far, so great. Lots of pool time. The first massage. Great meals. NO FALLS (or anything even close). And even slightly better than mediocre sleep. (Except for the whales! Where the hell are they???) We might — might — schedule a whale watching cruise, but we only have two days left and massages come first, so we’ll see.
A meditation for you
For those of you stuck in the snow, I am sending you the healing vibes of Maui. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Feel the gentle breezes of the trade winds and listen to the birdsong and the crashing of the waves. Breathe out, repeat. Continue for at least 5 minutes to forget about the mountains of snow at your front door.
Two Webinars from Last Week
Last week, I was fortunate to host 2 great guests on my webinars.
First was Dr.Michael Okun, one of the top Parkinson’s experts in the world. Rather than give a talk about PD, he answered our questions. From vitamins to constipation to DBS, Dr. Okun gave clear and concise answers.
Watch the recording here:
Second, was Julie Fitzgerald, author of a children’s book about DBS, “The Secret Switch,” that she wrote with her granddaughter. She talked about the book, living with YOPD, being single with PD, and more. It became a great conversation between Julie and those who attended.

Sorry about the delay getting this to you, but Maui beckoned……….
Next on Sunday Morning with Twitchy Woman
I am excited to announce that the next Sunday Morning speaker will be Sara Whittingham, MD. Sara was featured in Michael Okun and Ray Dorsey’s book “Ending Parkinson’s Disease” and recently published her own memoir about Parkinson’s titled “Oh Crap: It’s Parkinson’s”. Currently, the book is only available as an ebook. Hard copy and audio editions will be coming soon. Join us on March 8 at 1 PM ET, 10 AM PT. You can register here
Have a great week
Sharon
