Claire

I'm a 52 year old woman who woke up one day to find out "body snatchers" came overnight and replaced my 24 year old body with some 52 year old woman's body, and I'm not too happy about it. Still my enthusiasm and zest for life hasn't diminished. I'm a wife, a mother of three talented and beautiful adults, a retired pediatric nurse, and a full-time writer. I write romance, "twilight zone" type stories, thriller stories and of course life essays. My sense of humor is my strong point. For example, I have created weekly answering machine messages (for years) which initiate strange people calling me up just to hear my recordings. They have embarassed my children when they were younger and amused their friends. I adore nature's scenery, can watch sunsets and wildlife for hours, getting such a thrill from them as if it's the first time I've seen them. A keen love for music stirs my soul like nothing else and I attempt to incorporate a theme centered around music when I can in my writings. I love to talk and people watch, because my imagination and curiousity is still as pure as a young childs. As an adult I've experienced a lot of turmoil and tragedy in my lifetime, but have managed to rise above it all. I abhor liars, and attempt to live my life with honesty because of my past experiences. I do believe in God and have empathy for people, sometimes too much when I view the world and the terrors some people have to endure. As I mentioned before some body snatcher's stolen my physical youthfulness but forgot to steal my mind. In my dreams I soar across a stage, dancing and singing my heart out to my fans. In life, I hope to leave a warm impression on everyone who crosses my path. Share the romance of my life!

My Elegant First Vampire Paperback - 1993

"Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S. As more is learned about the disorder, more resources for patients and caregivers are being developed. One of these resources is a new anthology, Voices of Autism: The Healing Companion: Stories for Courage, Comfort and Strength, which chronicles the stories of more than 40 families living with autism including, Claire Luna-Pinsker, a local resident of Tobyhanna, PA.
Each contributor shares a poignant, heartfelt and often inspiring true account of experiences with autism spectrum disorders, from the frustration of an autistic teenager unable to speak, yet knowing he is being left out of conversations in “The Price of Talk,” to the sadness and fear of a mother as her son becomes a man in “Postpartum Blues Plus Twenty.”"
"Voices of Autism" and all of the Voices Of books are available at bookstores everywhere and online at "The Healing Project" website, The Healing Project.org or at www.amazon.com

MY SHORT WRITINGS
So Lovely
Each day I arise to another day and start the daily drive.I go down the mountain and up a rise and sigh, "Oh so lovely."Whoever wrote purple mountains majesty had to be sitting where I am today.I view the mountainline, the shifting designer clouds, and the brilliant color skyand cry, "Oh so lovely!"And my son growls and complains, "Keep your eyes on the road."He mutters, "You saw this yesterday and the day before."I ignore him and struggle at a light to capture the morning sky.I greet my daughter with a morning photo of the clouds dancingin the sky and text, "Isn't this lovely?"She texts back, "It's clouds, keep your eyes on the road."I text back, "The beauty I see today, I will never see again in time."My son growls, "The lights green, go!"My daughter texts back, "You're so nuts, drive!"And so I drive, but still I sigh, "Oh it's so lovely!"

Mom's Love For An Asperger's Syndrome Child
At night when the house is silent and calm, I sigh with relief and gasp, "I love him, I love him, Lord knows I love Him."My motherly love is sorely stretched at times and I find myself asking, "Can I really go on?"A day of literal confrontations and one physical tantrum may cause me to scream out, "Why me? Why him?"After he's resting I can sit back and laugh, "Well the puppy survived though his whiskers did not."This Asperger's a wise one gifting my son with a high I.Q. and I ponder, "Whose smarter my son or am I?"His impulses and energy sap mine all the time as I explain for the fifth time, "You can't punch holes when you're mad."Each day is a fresh start when he bounds from his room at six and I turn to the clock and growl, "Please, I just closed my eyes."I watch him eat his meal with his hands and offer an idea, "Why not use your spoon?"The fork goes flying, the bowl crashes to the floor and I grit my teeth and say, "What a wonderful start to this day."Later at school when I'm called to assist, he runs to me smiling when I reprimand, "The teacher knows her duties. You can't dismiss the class."I watch him when he stands alone on the side and I find myself crying, "Please just someone say hello and be his friend."The doctors, the medicine, the therapies, the time, and I question, "Can Asperger's ever be cured?"I am his mother so my well of love refills but I keep praying, "Lord, I'll do my best with my Asperger son as long as you keep filling up the well."

After going through several serious illnesses, I realized that today is your moment. Today, because tomorrow's never promised. So don't be afraid to shine, reach out and enjoy the beautiful moments of today. I hope this video inspires you to go for it, reach for your dream. I dedicate this video to all your loved ones who lost their lives before they had a chance to shine.
