6-13-09 UPDATE!
Hi all my wonderful friends and subscribers. It's been a really tough road but I am slowly getting a little stronger every day. I just started watching videos again when I can. It will be awhile before I can make one for you but I'm going to try. I can't believe how very sick I've been. Home Health is still coming here and now I'm strong enough to start Physical Therapy. YAY! I love each of you and I thank you so much for your support!
Have a wonderful day, in a wonderful way!
(((Hugs))) to you & yours...
Paula

I first came to YouTube because I wanted to do video's about Mental Health issues. I have Major Depressive Disorder, and suffered for some time with agoraphobia. They were severly affecting my life. I'm on disability for Intractable Epilepsy, however, I felt that sometimes, (most of the time), my depression and problems associated with it, were harder to bear than the epilepsy. I attend therapy (weekly) and after YEARS of trial and error I finally got on the right medication for my mental health issues. Things were looking bright for me again.

Before I became disabled, due to seizures, I was a professional singer. When I was younger, I could have made it in the Country
Music Industry. Yes, I was given that chance. I have made two CDs, and if you do a search for "Paula James", on the internet, you'll find my voice for sale somewhere.

Last December (2006), when things were finally looking up for me, I started becoming physically ill. That brings you pretty much up to speed. Now, I'm going to the Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Florida and praying for a miracle, as I sit in this bed, in the dark, hearing the sounds of machines, but listening to the sounds of my Richie breathing as he sleeps next to me in the roll out bed they brought for him.

I'm a Christian and proud of it. I don't tolerate people who are homophobic. I don't tolerate people who are racist, no matter who the racism is aimed at. I LOVE ALL PEOPLE, regardless of their religion. I have nothing against anyone, unless they crap on my lawn (my YouTube lawn, that is). I'm married to an incredible man. His name's Richie. His YouTube name is rmt131. He is the most wonderful, kind, loving, caring soul in the world. I know God was watching over me, by sending me my Prince. Since I've been so very physically ill, I have found myself spending more & more time on YouTube. I do have support. I have my sweet Richie, his sisters, and my wonderful step-mom. I also have my sweet and caring sister Debbie who lives up North. I feel so much love, from so many wonderful people here, that it makes my heart smile. I'm blessed. So blessed to have gotten to know so many wonderful people here on YouTube. I hope I get to meet many more.
Sending love & smiles from afar!
