Yesterday I took what, for me, was a big step. For all my life I was taught to hide my palsy. And I do it well. (as I am sure many of us do) I was tired of a feeling of shame that hiding has also tacked onto it....So, I told...my entire Sunday school class. I was shaking, very scared, but I told. This shame will no longer be a part of my life.

It is weird to stop hiding it, but what a relief also.

Maybe if we all start talking everyone will realize that it isn't some weird rare thing...that it happens all the time...everyday.

That is a big step but one you will be glad you took. It is so much more comfortable not to hide it.
