Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! Although the main focus of this blog is Traumatic Brian Injury (TBI), and I am hopeful that I will meet like-minded (pun intended) people who are thankful for what remains. I welcome all those who have faced the unspoken question, "Get better or get bitter?" and have wholeheartedly answered, "Get better!" I am learning that all of us qualify as the "walking wounded." All of us are facing something in our lives. This blog is a place of rest and healing. I appreciate any comment and will honor any requests for prayer. Consider me your personal prayer warrior!

Today I attended a meeting at the Carrollton Creative Writers' Club (CCWC).  I haven't attended a meeting in almost a year and I only knew a few of the many in attendance.  This is the one constant in life--that life is always changing.  Many members have published books and moved on to other challenges. New members are working on projects and reading their work for the group to critique. I suppose I was expecting time to freeze for this year. I was expecting everyone to stay the same as I took a year off from the group.

Thank goodness no one did.  I like the fact that life is fluid.  I want life to continue to be interesting, inviting, and invigorating.  Who wants vanilla ice cream over, and over, and over.  I guess I was expecting vanilla ice cream today at the CCWC.  Instead I got rainbow sherbert. You gotta love it! Life is good.

Finishing the Book

My seven-year project is finally complete. Today, I dropped off my book, Head Lights for Dark Roads: Packing Humor and Hope for the Unexpected Trip through Traumatic Brain Injury, to my able editor, Zan Marie Steadham.

I'm just starting the blog, so bear with me as I explore this new world of blogging.
