Default Hello from Seattle

Hello all

My name is Maureen - but most people call me "Mo". I am a native New Englander, born in Rhode Island - lived a good part of my life on Cape Cod in Falmouth, MA. I was diagnosed with MS in 2001 - am now Primary Progressive MS. My husband and I moved out to Seattle 5 years ago - believe it or not - for the weather. The heat really aggravates my MS - and the Pacific Northwest has a great year-round temperate climate. We now live happily with our two cats at Alki Beach.

I no longer work - am on Social Security. Prior to MS, I was a news editor for 8 years and a high school teacher for 10 years.

Thankfully I still get around with a cane inside my house, but for anything more than a couple of blocks outside - I need my scooter or powerchair.

Photography is my passion. Also am a news-aholic, love travel, cooking, genealogy and reading.

Glad to have found this community and look forward to getting to know you all

Thanks
Mo
