I am very honored by Lee-Lee’s goal of raising money for the MS Society by doing a MS bike ride. She mentions me on her web site. If you are interested in donating money to the MS cause, please take a look at her page.
Welcome to the Right Now Is Perfect website! I hope spending a few minutes here will lead you to feeling that right now is perfect. It's the perfect time to do the best you can with whatever you have.
Right Now Is Perfect is available from all online retailers.

A Cloak of Invisability
I went to a local restaurant last night after my first talk about Sailing and my book. The waiter turned to my companion and ask “What is the matter with her” nodding to me. I responded that I’m in a power chair due to MS. This was the first time anyone has been that rude
