Hello! Thanks for stopping by! My name is Veronica Lee and I am at stage 4 in my COPD Journeys.
I'll share more about my COPD throughout this website, but right now, I want to get a little personal!
My Family
The most interesting thing about our love, now, is that we know it's absolutely real. We married 30 years ago when we were so young. It wasn't the right time for us and we parted ways. He and I both went on to have families separately. A few years ago, we found our way back to each other. He is literally my rock.
My Former Career
For many years I was a graphic artist and photographer. I enjoyed a career as an Assistant District Manager with Olan Mills Portrait Studios and helped oversee the training and production of eleven studios in the South Florida region. I've also had the pleasure of using my skills as a graphic artist at American Express.
My Hobbies
I was diagnosed with COPD in October of 2016. It's been a battle that I have learned to fight every day. Before this disease struck, I enjoyed activities as most do. Hiking, cooking, writing, running and spending time in nature, were my favorite past times.
I've been creative all my life. It's one of the ways I clear my mind. Making art is as relaxing to me as meditating. I still draw when I'm able to and post my art on Instagram. I also find a lot of fun playing with this website. Tomorrow, you might visit and the look could totally change. It occupies my mind when all I can do is sit and rest... and breath.
The Future
Twenty years ago, I wrote a few stories for my children. I am happy to announce that the first story I ever wrote for them is in the works for a rewrite and will soon be published! As I am also an artist, I will be illustrating the book myself!My Motivation.
I created this blog for 4 reasons.
1. To leave my thoughts behind for my family.
2. To offer help to others living with this disease.
3. To do my part to help bring awareness to COPD.
4. To let the things in my head out before they explode!
