I'm a small town, southern gal born in raised in what I refer to as "God's Country"... South Carolina! I travel often for work but there is no other place I would want to call home.

My job in sales requires travel, to be productive and execution. This disease is just a bump in my road (or at least for now anyway). Some days it's a fall! But I'm determined to get right back up, continue traveling, selling, meeting new friends, being a FUN aunt to my nieces and nephew, going to concerts, hiking, essentially...loving and living life! Despite my circumstances, I couldn't be more blessed. Meniere's Disease has certainly impacted my quality of life. But it's also allowed me a new found perspective. I'm finding my strong and refuse
