April 29,2020 Ihave been sheltering in place for over a month. Sad to have had all my book signings and events canceled. Hope that some of you are buying my book and finding it entertaining in these trying times. I keep thinking of the time I caught the measles from a patient and I almost died (it's in my book!). Scary times for every one, especialy health care on the front line. I know everyone has been adversely affected by this virus if not their health then in the health of a loved one or friend or at least economically. Be safe out there and send me a message. I check frequently! Hopefully we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. X0X0

6/1/2020 Such disturbing times. Best wishes go out to everyone. I just wanted to let you know that several days ago I created a video about my book and posted it on youtube.It can be found at "Dancing with Chaos youtube". I am hoping to post a short video each week, chapter by chapter. If you watch my video and like it please press "like". Hang in there "one world" peace out.
Quote by voltaire: "Life is thickly sewn with thorns and I know of no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us."
I wanted to take this generic picture of the road out but then decided to leave it in knowing that the road and travel is actually a major theme in my book and has been an essential part of the joy of living.
Dancing with Chaos by INDIGO is a memoir. The themes center around the trials and tribulations of the mentally ill and their families...around medicine and travel and the life of a single mother. I hope you will find it an interesting read and helpful in some way. It is available on Amazon books and other sites as well.
