I received a few messages asking, "What the heck is that on your head?"

Well it is a Native American Porcupine Roach. It is a scalp lock that we used to wear into battle so if someone tried to grab you by your hair they got a hand full of Porcupine hair.

I dance men’s traditional on the Florida Pow Wow circuit. I have the energy to dance at Pow Wows now. And I make almost all of my regalia and do the majority of my own beadwork and porcupine quill work.

Life is good.

Yes that is true. I have four books published and just submitted my latest to my publisher. I am also working on 6, 7, and 8.

Back when first diagnosed I never in a million years thought I would feel well enough let along the brain fog lifting letting me return to a somewhat normal life.

Jan kids me once in a while that she misses the hyper me that could clean, iron, mop, vacume and build things all at once because I was hyper. Now I do what I can and what I can’t we hire to have done. But then again I am 12 years older and getting ready for retirement. I have earned the rite to hire someone to do something I don’t want to any more…

For those of you newly diagnosed and those not yet regulated. You will get better. Just remember you did not get sick overnight. You will not get better overnight. But day by day you will get better. We are here for you. Ask any questions, we are only a click away.

I have Graves’ disease and life is good.
