 About Me
hi - it says "1 YR" but my speech first started slurring in July 2006, so it feels like longer. My speech is almost completely gone, but I'm still able-bodied and plan to take advantage of that while I can. My spiritual beliefs and understanding - largely Buddhist - make all this a LOT more managable in terms of accepting and understanding this difficult portion of the path in this lifetime. Not preaching - just sharing. There are many wonderful books on this out there that would help. Wisdom and peace to us all on this journey. Sam Tosha
