Lisa's Story

Hello Anyone who knew/knows me. A little of my story. I moved from Queens New York to San Francisco, CA on Nov. 14, 1973. Have been here ever since. During this time (and it sure has been 'time') I've been up to many things (and MANY things.) I was very involved with the arts singing, dancing ballet, tap and jazz and more, playing guitar, writing songs, writing poetry, and performing all the above. Even sang Opera for four years. Taught dance at a studio. Taught voice at home. Got my dream piano in the 70's. Sometimes playing it sometimes more like playing with it. Then got into drawing and painting. Started practicing Buddhism two weeks after moving here (25 years). And taking Aikido. Had a five month period of time where I never knew where I was going to live. A few weeks here a few weeks there. My belongings in one place. Me in another. At one time my cat in another home but me seeing him every day and still taking care of him. Living in the same apartment since Aug.29, 1976. Rent control you know. My birthday by the way 8/29 - the same as Michael Jackson I love to tell people....Expand for more
Then got sick at the end of 1995 right after taking part in a month long art exhibit (we were on channel 7 News for three days). Starting out as a photography workshop I also displayed photos I took including in a moving slide show, my poetry, paintings and drawings and some photos of me dressed up as the Goddess "Quan Yin." Beginning January 1996 I stopped doing just about everything due to being too ill. Still taking it one day at a time. I have autoimmune disease first diagnosed in 1965. Lupus/Scleroderma. Diabetes, heart disease after a heart attack 3/10/2007. So now stuck with CAD coronary artery disease. Hmm... don't really like the word "stuck." I have a good spirit though and speaking of spirit(s), I practice spirituality (and happiness) in a number of different ways but it's very important to me. Have always been into Metaphysics. That's probably enough for now. Would love to read a story of anyone else who is reading this. Since it's Valentines Day the day I am writing this just want to say: "Happy Valentine's Day!" May everyone feel loved and be loving! For now, Lisa :^)
