Couldn’t wait to share my news with you! In the last few years, I’ve been focused on making sure that I was keeping in the game, investing in my recovery, trying not to get old and stale…
A lot of times with brain injury, we forget that, while healing might dwindle after days and weeks and months, recovering can continue throughout our lifetimes.
We just have to keep feeding the recovery!
For me, recovering has been about daring myself out of my comfort zone. It’s so easy to rely on our brain injuries to keep us from anything new. Often we fall into our safe places and we stay there and, slowly, we become afraid. Afraid of things.
It’s like the person who doesn’t drive on the freeway for a while. After too long, it becomes a scary thing to do and it’s too easy to just keep safe and slow on the backroads.
I knew that, for me, it was time to buckle up and hit the road again!
I’m so proud and excited to release my newest book, “Every Star You Can See Is A Star You Can Be!”
The book is geared toward young people just starting to think about who they might be and how they might identify their particular skills, talents, gifts and potential. It’s a fun, interactive book that helps them to begin to find the perfect match of what they are good at with what they enjoy most.
I wanted to share it with you guys because you are always a part of my journey. All these years later and I take you everywhere with me. 🙂
Maybe the book connects with me because, for those of us with brain injury, we have to restart again and we have to rediscover our talents and gifts and match them with, often, new things we like and are able to do.
We’re coming into a New Year and God Bless all of us, we are still here. Stumbling some, maybe. But fighting on. Rallying. Achieving. Creating new lives from the ruins of those that no longer fit like they did.
I hope you’ll join me in embracing the idea that, Every Star You Can See Is A Star You Can Be! I believe that with every best bit of me. I believe that in every one of you.
Happy New Year, all. I love you guys. May you reach out from your comfort zones and dare new dreams this new year. You are already stronger than you imagine and stronger than any I’ve met. Treat yourself to a great new year.
Go Be Amazing!!!!
