If you made it this far into my website, then let me start by saying WELCOME! 

I want to tell you a little about me. First, my name is Michelle Cary.  I’m an author, artist, and renal failure patient.  I’m also a wife to an amazing husband and a mother to two awesome (now adult) children. Yes, I brag, but that’s what mothers do. 

I’ve spent years being an introvert and avoiding placing the spotlight on myself in any way, shape, or form. Hiding behind a keyboard and using a pen name allowed me to put myself out there for the world to see without having to show myself. At first, it was a way to protect my children from the evil the internet can generate. Later, I remained hidden behind the keyboard and pen name due to my insecurities and lack of confidence.

Between the simple act of growing older and a recent health scare, I decided to change my attitude. Life is too short for me to care what others think of me.  It’s none of my business anyway.

Why this website?

Like every person on this planet, I have a story to share. I hope that, just maybe, some part of my story will help others.  So, that is why this website was formed. In the few months since I set up the website, I’ve taken some time to figure out how to utilize it best. At that time, I decided to take charge of my health by changing my diet. This is an ongoing process. However, in the last two months, my husband and I have suffered losses of close friends.

In the weeks since their passing, I’ve spent time processing their loss, reflecting on their lives and how I can honor them going forward. The more I thought about it, the clearer my mission became. I need to spread awareness and teach what I’ve learned about food and nutrition, both to renal patients and the general public. Our diets are killing us and neither the food industry nor the pharmaceutical or medical fields are excited to help us make vital changes. Therefore, in addition to my plan listed below, I’ll be focusing my time on sharing my knowledge on how making small changes in our diets can lead to big results in our health.

I’m excited about this new path and hope you’ll join me for this adventure.

My plan for this website is as follows:

~ To educate people on Chronic Kidney Disease, renal failure, dialysis, and Transplant. 

~Offer book reviews on romance novels (old and new).

~Share my limited knowledge of art and writing.

~ Generate conversations on art, writing, and anything else that may strike my fancy.

Please feel free to snoop around on my website to learn more and don’t forget to follow me on my social media.  What I have planned will hopefully be fun and informative.
