I'm an artist who fights on the side of LIFE! I'm 66, have ALS, and fight to overcome my limitations with the support of a loving husband, a warm and wonderful family, awesome friends, faith and always, humor. Just because I had to put my cape and tights in storage doesn't mean I can't fly!

Before the onset of ALS I kayaked rivers and the ocean, hiked the Green mts. of VT and was moderately successful as an artist. I can no longer use the pastels, colored pencils and papers I so loved and now paint with the help of my computer to express the musings of my mind. Every day is a fight to hold my disease in check, but each day is also a gift. I fight my battle with the help of my wonderful family and friends, and my husband who sticks by me with love, help with the things I can't do on my own, and humor.

I could use some old soul chat right about now. Glad to know there's some more of us out there.
WHat a Mind Trip! You may be disabled, but you are definitely NOT a disabled artist. You are able in every sense of the word!
You do great art in two mediums.
You are so creative, Pam. I wish you could "join the ancient rite" for real...but I know you do so in spirit and it makes me soar with you.
Very erotic and spiritual! I love this piece but then I like everything you do ;)
Check out a fellow blogger that has been expanding her art to the computer.

love the energy and design in this piece!
That is simply amazing.
Your imagination is full of fire, fluidity, wind, Pam. Your spirit is free to dance. You are an inspiration to me, always. I dedicated a post to you and Tammy here ... it's a song I really love that made me think of both of you and your perserverance and courage.
Pam, I wanted to email you after reading your comment on that song post today, but can't find your email. Mine is maureenshaughnessy (at) gmail.com in case you want to write to me directly ... and I'll answer.

Hi Pam,
This is such an engaging poem. I love the movement and energy that it creates.
Thanks for your comment about burrito and knee. I somehow suspected that you, too, would have a burrito. It gave me great strength today as I walked with my newly-acquired cane to think of several of my friends (including you) for whom movement is a challenge.
