About Me

Hello and Welcome to Parry Peach

I'm Jackie. 

For ten long years, I was a caregiver for my beloved husband who was afflicted with a rare brain condition called Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). It was challenging and everything I did for those ten years was all about him and his needs, Who I am got lost in all my responsibilities.

Now, like a high school graduate deciding on what to do next with their life, I am overwhelmed by possibilities and choices. So much freedom I have now and not a clue what to do with it. 

So, I will start here.  My blog.  I regard myself as a "recovering" caregiver and have much to share with others.  So many tears, years of frustration and fear, and the many, many challenges I endured have given me insights and lessons I am happy to share with others. 

And as part of my journey back to who I am, I have taken up oil painting again.  Decades ago, I was an oil painter, and I am thrilled to be picking up my brushes, dipping into my paints, and engaging in the world of art once again.  Soon, I intend to sign-up for the Milan Art Institute Mastery Program to learn and be part of an active artist community!

I invite you to join me and share any caregiver insights or art ideas you might have with me and others.   

So, once again, welcome to Parry Peach and be sure to subscribe to my email list so you don't miss out on any fun or helpful information I have to share.
