I'm an old lady of 76. An 87 year-old lady I knew, began to take harp lessons. When I found out who was teaching her, I was delighted--two female Presbyterian ministers. Felt that if she could do this at 87, I could, too. This was about 5 years ago. I play mainly for hospice patients as well as patients in a charity hospital in Birmingham, AL and on occasion for blind vets who are in rehab at the Veteran's Hospital. Not a professional; never will be, but this has change my life. I left music 50 years ago. Wonderful to be back. I sang in choirs when I was young. Now I play a Celtic harp. The one I take with me to hospitals and nursing homes is small enough to sit in my lap. The high, short strings are near my shoulder. I have a larger harp that sits on the floor (every harper gets harp fever) that I use when I perform for a large group, such as a funeral or memorial for all the patients who had died during the last six months. I see a lot, so it helps keep me thankful for every day.

Welcome Brenna, my dear. Sometime look up the roots of the word "professional". It has a lot more to do with one's "professed" passions than with getting paid! You love it all with no apologies. Who knows where those passions will lead you. For very sure, they will make your life vibrant and exciting.....Judith in Portland

Hello. I have been an actress/performer as long as I have been a t1 diabetic (since I was 5). I really like that there is a group like this! I used to find it challenging to take care of myself when I was in a show but now have found a good routine for keeping my blood sugars in good control during the months I am performing or having late night rehearsals. I have definitely considered giving up my dreams of performing because of my diabetes- worried about lows on stage, money etc but I have refused to give up a career that gives me so much joy!

hey there pjr---I was a dancer/choreographer/producer for 40 years until fibromyalgia took me out in 1996. I write now. Delighted to meet you! Diabetes sapped my energy and made me apathetic for a long time!.......
