Talk about ways we can get out the prison we find ourselves in, our-self. We need to learn how this new self ticks and communicate and enjoy all that life has to offer. Sometimes life just seems to be in slow motion and we are stuck behind a glass room where we cannot get out or anyone get in. And we just watch life pass us by. It is time to break these walls down and live again.

For the rest of us our journey is to rebuild our new lives and forgiving those who tore our soul at its core. Isolation is very common among us survivors; sometime we feel like we don’t fit in anywhere, sometimes we just need a break. But prolonged isolation leads to major depressive disorders and even death. We are going to have a wide Varity of guests to share their journey and experiences. I believe this is more far of a common occurrence than people would like to admit. How do we stop the cycle and begin to live our lives.
9 NOV. 2010 · Wish I Would Have Died After are traumatic incidents and the people we used to love have abandoned us, for many of us we wonder why couldn't we just have died, what purpose does this serve. Through the pain and hurt, and not to mention the struggle to get back what we lost, poverty and loneliness take their toll on our souls. We will talk about the dark undertones of death and this life we have been forced to live and what purpose can it serve to have total loss of ones self.
23 NOV. 2010 · As the holidays approach this becomes a very difficult time for many of us. Weather we are dealing with this new self and trying to embrace and discover who the heck we are. Or we are remembering who we once were, the feeling that we no longer belong in this life that we are living. For many of us we remember the things we once valued and how that change has affected our lives. How in the world did we get here but more importantly how and the world do we get out. We need to be heard and appreciate who we now are, or are becoming. We are not alone there are many of us. But how can we turn that into purpose and a sense of belonging again.
7 DIC. 2010 · After a brain injury many times we lose what once was, and we can be left living a life that seems meaningless. Life is meant to be lived with purpose and passion. Often we need to find or reinvent purpose in our live. It is not an easy journey in the face of so much loss. But like it or not it becomes a time to rebuild. It’s a time to reestablish our lives, to learn to love and appreciate this new person we have become. I believe if we let it we can find a greater purpose that before, one with passion and meaning. What makes things interesting at least for me the thing I once valued or believed look very much different to this new me. I have to be honest there are times I just want to give up, and pity myself and ponder on the losses. But as a post a fellow advocate once posted, “Joe Martin” made me think one day it could be worse. So as I move forward I know I don’t want it to be worse but I could possible make it that way. So lets share how we find purpose and embrace what we can do rather than what we can’t, because face it many people can’t do things. But we need to focus on what we can not what we used to be able to do but what we can. And as we accept the purpose based on what we can do, all the amazing and wonderful things that are possible.

Lets get the ideas out there let us change our tomorrow into something we can want. As overwhelming as it can be to have to change everything, it can be done. It has been done and people have reached their full potential and found satisfying lives once again.
18 ENE. 2011 · MLK set the way for so many of us trying to achieve civil equality, after a disability such as brain injuries our rights and participation in our own lives is taken away or sometimes abandoned in the confusion. People begin to believe we do not matter as much as we once did because of our disability, but it is that very disability that makes us who we now are. As we become strong as a community we can begin to strive for equality learning from others. To this day there is no standard of care from state to state or city to city for that matter. We are tossed into a system that’s backlogged up to 6 months or more. Meanwhile most often we are drugged up until they can deal with us. The path of destruction that the delayed treatment causes in the lives of those affected by Brain Injury is usually non-reparable and takes the very lives and souls of those surviving for years and sometimes a life time.
