My TBI Move forward with Hope is an account of my coming to life again after experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an automobile wreck. When the wreck happened there were other-worldly presences that I immediately came in contact with. What followed and is still coming forward is my emergence as a person more openly aware of what surrounds us all.

My background talent is an artist. I was a teacher K-12, director of an infant toddler pre-school, licensed guardian of adults, and challenged individuals. Following the wreck, as if an infant, it was necessary for me to again learn to breath, smell, hear, feel, see, touch or move anything, think, speak, eat, read, follow with my eyes, and function again as an individual. It has all been and still is a challenge.

This is my account of what a person with a TBI experiences. I give credit and love to all that are there for me, and ones who are going through similar things and need HOPE and understanding. Look around you when you read this.

OF MEN. FORBID THAT I JUDGE
