I am a poet, author and psychiatric rehabilitation counselor in Lancaster, Pa. I enjoy all things creative, but my passions are writing, music (listening, singing, playing guitar) and art. I am very involved in the local pagan community and much of my inspiration and how I live is inspired by my faith. I have another story, that of a 32 year old bisexual pagan with Tourette's Syndrome and OCD who was physically, emotionally and sexually abused for most of her childhood. But that's not the story I want to tell, so I usually focus on all of the blessings in my life.

I'm 32 years old & first showed symptoms of TS when I was 9 or so. My symptoms coincided with a somewhat traumatic move away from all of my family; for years I thought the tics were a symptom of some childhood PTSD-type thing happening. I didn't figure it out until late in college. I have run the gammut of tics, and it doesn't really seem to be getting all that better with age. I have made peace with my TS, however. It is just a little piece of who I am, and I really do like who I am.
So many thoughts, so little space...
