A battle wages within - a silent predator - The thief of my mind, memory, and me.I am a voice that needs to be heard - A mind that needs to be understood - A disease that needs explanation ~ a cure! 'Dancing is Life' states Tony Dovolani - 'This is a quote that is a direct parallel to life. It rejuvenates us, keeps us sound, keeps us creating, instead of dying.' - quote - Tony Dovolani of Dancing with the Stars ~ World Rhythm ChampionTraveling through the Valley of the Shadow of Death - When you hear you are dying, you feel yourself disappearing - just fading away - 'There is a Time to Dance!' 'God Changed My Mourning into Dancing!' Ballroom Dancing - the Missing Link in My Rehabilitation. 'They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength -they shall mount up with wings as eagles' 'When You See a Single Bird Soar in Flight - Remember Me!' Living in My Shadow records my personal journals, celebrating my real life with Alzheimer’s Disease from 1999 to the present. I want my writings to reflect the Hope I have in my Heavenly Father’s plans for me, reflecting His sustaining companionship on this my journey living with Alzheimer’s. 3
