SONG: called WHEN THE FOG LIFTS... woohoo!  Just finished it: 

10 YEARS, 20 HITS TO THE HEAD

For those who know me, most know I have had the experience of multiple concussions.  I have not let it stop me but have disappeared in life many times over 10 years, as I endured the fog of brain injury.

Writing book with a clear head can be stressful.  Trying to recall, and write my journey with and without fog has been nothing short of a miracle to this lil country gal.

My whole goal was to lay it all out there, bleeps and blunders, and hopefully shine through with HOPE to anyone who reads it.
 THERE IS A BRAND NEW BOOK INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE all about my book, my journey and fun shots from the farm, THE GARDEN OF MY SOUL aka "Sanctuary" It is a LONG video. Like 50 minutes. But covers a lot of ground about the book and FOG!

Dad's death

While through the years, I would write and think I was getting close to sharing my story, I did not realize that a big part of the experience for me had to include being caregiver to both my dad and mom.  Dad eventually was taken by Dementia and that journey could have been a whole book in  itself.

Dad taught me so much. I researched Alzheimers when I could squeeze in time. Trying to understand this horrible disease. 

Naturally, being a recipient of multiple concussions and the news showing how many multiple injury brains end up with Alzheimers/dementia, I researched this as well.

I found that The Alzheimer's Association website was full of valuable and supportive links, information, lists, caregiver support and of course their continual research to end this disease. www.alz.org

I also found The Concussion Legacy Foundation. Completely loaded with information about multiple injury. Particularly for athletes, Military Veterans and folks like me, who just thump a lot! www.concussionfoundation.org


THE BIGGEST GOAL: BRING HOPE

THIS BOOK IS FOR ANYONE. Whether you are the injured, caregiver, loved one, friend, doctor or counselor, there is a chapter for you.

​
I give a big thank you to the amazing motivational speaker/author and 2020 Presidential candidate, Marianne Williamson. She played a pivotal shift in my healing to lift my fog.   www.marianne.com
I also thank founder/author Jack Canfield of the Chicken Soup for the soul books - for he was the one who I heard say, "If you cannot find a book that you are looking for, then maybe you are meant to write one."  So I did!
This book has a breath and life of its own.   I left it in fairly RAW form to how even one who has come through a great deal of challenges, could write, edit, create, design and upload a book and offer hope through my journey!
So there may be a bleep or blunder in there a time or two, but ya know what, it is authentic!  Isn't that we are trying to do and be in life anyway!  
​ Some funny poems, doodles as well... and tried to make it as if the reader and I were just chattin' in the living room with coffee.
