Michelle Terrill Heath has lived an unconventional life, partly by choice and partly by circumstance. As a teenager, she met the love of her life, Andy, and they have been married for forty-seven years. They are a happy, healthy, and adventurous couple who have discovered how to continue this lifestyle, even through the onslaught of Andy’s Parkinson’s disease.
In Your Wildest Dreams, Heath offers a unique and intimate view into their unconventional choices and ways of living. Through examining their own life experiences, which have included both the exotic and the mundane, strategies emerge for living well in all circumstances. For example, they traveled to India to work at an orphanage where they built a 125-foot suspension bridge. Another time in their life, they sailed a thirty-seven-foot trimaran sailboat across the Gulf of Mexico through a major storm.
When faced with Parkinson’s, lessons from these experiences buoyed them. When their art business began to fail or when the fidelity of their marriage was tested, more approaches emerged. Lessons are learned that translate directly when faced with the reality of living with an incurable disease.
