cleveland still rocks… | My return visit to Cleveland Clinic leads to a few more answers.

Hi there…I'm Nikki. I'm fifty-two years-old and I've been married to my husband, Mike, for thirty years. Mike is the Property Manager for a private residence on Lake Charlevoix. And me...I'm a writer and a podcaster and mom to the Lou-Crew; Mason (26), Ellie (24), Mabel (20), and Bram (20). Most days I'm just trying to figure it all out as best I can. Oh yeah…and I also ~~have~~ don't have Parkinson's Disease. Yep...you read that right. Stick around and I'll fill you in on that story. It's a pretty good one. Grab a cup of coffee or cocoa or a glass of wine…no judgment here…and join me on this journey. Buckle up. It tends to get a little bumpy.

Mason is a Certified Athletic Trainer. He graduated from Central Michigan University in December of 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training and a double minor in Substance Abuse Education and Community Health. He is currently living and working in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.
