Hello,

My name is Evelyn,

I'm happy you are here!

For years I maintained a full time job, while supplementing my income with a p/t home-based word processing business; simply known as Evelyn's Typing Service (DBA EMprints - Named by using my initials).

My clientele list included authors, business executives, college students, engineers, lawyers, professors, restaurants...  I had keys to businesses located in the city to let myself in to pick up work in the evening and to drop it off when done along with an invoice.  Others would have an appointment and come to my home.  Living in the state capital and having my own word processing equipment were definite assets back then.

One notable event took place late in the evening after I received a call from my office supply sales rep requesting me to do some work for the city.  He said that there was a situation at the power plant, it was urgent and at that late hour they didn't know whom to call when my name came to mind.  Reluctantly, I agreed.

On our local television late night news a reporter stated that the city was working on a solution proposal and would have it ready by morning.  What she didn't say was that the work was taking place in my house as she spoke.

April 21, 1987 at the annual John George Nicolay Secretary Appreciation Seminar held in Springfield, Illinois, I received a scholarship from The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce as recognition. (a prestigious award in our community at the time)

That was the Good Old Days!

All that changed on Easter Sunday 1994 when my husband Rick experienced a SEVERE base of the brain stroke at the age of 44. It left his entire right side along with his concentration, memory, cognitive skills and personality traits impaired. 

Due to therapy, exercise and medications he has shown significant improvement along with his ability to walk. However, our lives changed dramatically!

I gave up my personal business to be with him.  He needed physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.  In rehab he was given children's computer games to play.   As he progressed, with the help of others I created the CSC website for him to copy and paste emails sent to us by friends.

On Aug. 17, 2008 he experienced a severe heart attack with 99.5% blockage.  Several months later he fell breaking his nose and almost bled to death possibly due to his heart stopping and being on multiple blood thinners.  He was diagnosed with an irregular heart beat that may be causing him to pass out.

It's been quite a ride!

This website was created on Jan 26, 2000 as my home business DBA.  Since then it has evolved into something entirely different.  EMprints.com is now the flagship domain that I use for helping my husband Rick since his injury.

I have gained a considerable amount of knowledge concerning mental and physical health issues including heart problems, strokes, diet, exercise, therapy, rehabilitation, anxiety, depression, attitude, faith, God, hope, patience...

If there's anything that I've learned, it's to NEVER give up, God Works in Strange Ways and that, He helps those that help themselves!

  1. I later revised the website ChristianSoldiersCross to use as a therapy tool for Rick to exercise his brain and fingers from home. 

  2. I wrote the short, easy, fun to read book Quiet Angels, in an effort to do my part in giving hope to others living with severe depression.  It's a TRUE story about my husband Rick's Near Death Experience, our dog that saved his life and years of recovery that is humorous and inspirational.

  3. I help with RicksPlace4Pooch.

"Most of us have been told Angels have wings.  Some of us have learned they have paws."

Quiet Angels

"Dogs are Quiet Angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly" 

For Anyone Who Has Ever Loved a Dog....  An amazing dog story that I couldn't at first figure out was real or not because the writing is captivating and the life story of this dog and those he loves and who love him back is sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, and always heartfelt...
10 Stars!!!!!!! - This story is about a man and his dog - and so much more!!! It brought tears of laughter, tears of sadness, and has given me a new-found hope for my life!!  As a reader who does not know this family, I ask that you PLEASE read this book!!! It can't help but impact your life!!!
Never Give Up Hope - Beautiful story of a man and his family facing a terrible medical crisis and surviving it against all odds. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are an animal lover like me.
