Welcome

I never imagined I’d be starting a blog like this. But over the past months, the phrase “grace in a beautiful mess” has kept rising up in me. It feels like the truest way I can describe my life right now — full of challenges I never asked for, but also full of unexpected beauty.

Writing has always been a way for me to process, to make sense of what feels overwhelming. And now, more than ever, I feel drawn to put words to the things that are both tender and real.

One of those realities is Parkinson’s. It’s a part of my story, though it doesn’t define all of me. Living with it has shaped how I move through the world, how I notice small moments of grace, and how I’m learning to let go of what I can’t control. Parkinson’s may not be the subject of every post here, but it will be woven through many of them, because it is woven through my life.

But this space isn’t only about Parkinson’s. It’s about finding beauty in ordinary days, strength in unlikely places, and meaning in moments that might otherwise slip by unnoticed. It’s about honesty, vulnerability, and connection.

This blog will not be a place for medical advice. I’m still working in a professional role where I need to hold clear boundaries there. Instead, this is a personal space — for me to write as myself, and hopefully, for you to feel less alone as you walk through your own mess and your own grace.

If you’re living with Parkinson’s, or loving someone who is, I hope these words feel like a companion for you. And if you’re simply someone searching for hope and beauty in the midst of life’s unpredictable turns, I welcome you here too.

We all have our messes. We all have our moments of grace. My hope is that by writing mine, I’ll find a little more of both — and that you might, too.
