| I hope you enjoy the time you spend looking through my creation. I will try to offer help for those who are living with Cystic Fibrosis, their family and friends. Please know that my web site is divided into three parts. "Ask James" is dedicated to Cystic Fibrosis information and resources online. "About James" includes my personal experiences, CF resources and artwork. "Living with CF" provides awareness logos, survival tips, affects of CF, and my personal faith. The Ask James Drop Down Menu is an index for the entire site. There are currently 57 pages in my web site with 36 pages devoted to CF and over 400 CF related links. If you want a quick way to know what section you are in, look at the logo in the top left hand corner of each page. The little "home" button will always take you back to the main entry page. Please take a moment to visit the "Tribute" page in honor of my cousin. In the last year my health has been in decline and I was evaluated for a lung transplant. I am now waiting for the miracle of new lungs and have devoted much of my time and energy on keeping myself strong to endure the journey ahead. I am encouraged in knowing that I am in the best place to receive the care for my specific health needs and God is in control of today, tomorrow, and my future. If you would like to read more about my life and journey for getting new lungs, you can visit my Lungs for James transplant website. I hope you find some part of my efforts helpful. Thank you for stopping by and feel free to come back again anytime. The Art Gallery includes photos of my artwork in previous exhibits and also offers a print gallery section. My photo above was taken on 07/07/2004. It is difficult to believe that I am 34 years old and still living with CF. I wasn't expected to live beyond my early teenage years... and my journey continues. I have experience working in fast food... two years of college, worked at a florist, office supply, delivery driver, lawn and garden, sold cars for Honda, sold bedroom furniture, I have been a picture framer for 10 years, and set ceramic tile for a while. I am an Artist and have held exhibits since 1993. I have selected a few paintings to share with you in the print gallery section so be sure to check them out. I choose mix media, but mostly watercolor, pigment pens, and Prisma Color pens. I have been married... divorced, owned a home, filed bankruptcy, lost a home, traveled across the states so much that I could set off on a road trip without a map. Currently I enjoy working on my computer, watching and collecting movies, creating art as I feel inspired to do so, working with graphic design and I working on poetry. |
| Award Graphic and Mission Statement... I have created an Award for web sites created by individuals with Cystic Fibrosis, or created for someone with CF. They can be dedicated to Cystic Fibrosis information, or contain personalized content about themselves. Dedication sites and Tribute sites are also included. If you would like to apply for my award for a web site that does not contain CF information I will consider your request if you link the image back to my web site to promote awareness of this disease. I have designed the following Peacock Awards in three categories: Excellence, Gold, and Bronze. Winning one is EASY!! But the categories are graded. Based on Good Simple Design, Family Friendly and Basic Upkeep. So how do you get one? Just send me an EMAIL and include your URL (link) I will then visit your site and email you with the appropriate award. | |  |
