About Me

How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here?

I was a plasterer, a contractor and an apprenticeship teacher. I wrote grants and chapters in the plastering books for the Operative Plasterers’ and Cement Masons’ International Association. I was hired for the first Plastering Coordinator in the USA. I started on June 5, 2017 and I almost died on February 1, 2018.

I had a heart attack and a stroke and I am struggling with aphasia and low vision.

What Am I Doing?

How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here?

Writing, reading, speaking and listening are still hard. I never wrote poems before my stroke but now it is like therapy for me.   I wrote my first poem on February 1, 2020. In August 2020, I invited friends from Facebook, virtual aphasia support groups, and other organizations to share their poems as they read the aloud. Our first Zoom Session was on September 1, 2020 and continued every Monday night at 5:00 PM ET. In February 2021, the poetry sessions changed to the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at the same time, 5:00 PM ET. Of course, there will be exceptions and I appreciation your patience. 

Where Am I Going?

How Did I Get Here?

Where Am I Going?

I am going to recover but it is a slow process.  I want to embrace the changes and challenges of life while I write poems. I am still healing.
