Reporting After the Book Signing!

Hello once again!
Sorry for the delay in writing, but I wanted to make sure I let everyone know how the book signing for "Living to Tell About It, A Pursuit of Normalcy".

It turns out it was a big success! Quite a few ladies came by and I got the opportunity to speak to each person individually before I was formally "introduced."

I found the experience to be very intriguing as some of the women discussed sections of the book, they began to correlate some of the issues and emotions one goes through when traveling through a crisis, whether health related or not. Needless to say, the conversation was fantastic and I felt I had made some new friends.

Also, while I mentioned it in the past, it seems that speaking may be a new avenue for me to explore. The women at the signing gave me such great feedback and I was just hoping for keeping their attention!

Needless to say, a great time was had by all. Pictures forthcoming!
Thanks for your support!

Coming Full Circle

For those of you that have bought my book, "Living to Tell About It, A Pursuit of Normalcy", you will remember my talking about the facility, Thoms Rehab in Asheville, North Carolina. This is where I learned to build my strength and re-learn how to do things for myself.


Well, last week I visited Hendersonville and while I was there, I made a point of visiting Thoms in neighboring Asheville. Walking back into that hospital gave me an eerie sense of coming full circle. All the difficult physical therapy came back to me instantly as I walked the halls effortlessly.

That's me in the center with friends.

I was so pleased to find that one of my old therapists was still working there, a mere 20 years later. Jim, my old physical therapist has since moved on. Last I heard, he was Rehab Director at a hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. I gave the PT department an inservice. I talked with them about what had happened to me as well as show them my old rehab videos. I let them know that I could be available for them if they felt I could be useful to them.



After seeing the dramatic recovery I made since my rehab video they decided that I could be of help by making presentations to families , current patients or whomever would benefit. One of the PT's gave me the number for the person who heads up the Head Injury Association...we've been playing phone tag thus far, but I would really like to get involved in speaking to head injury groups.

Who knew that I would recover so dramatically?

Do YOU know of a group that would be interested in my speaking services?

Also, if anyone who is reading my blog has anyone that they think would be good for me to get in touch with I'd love to hear about it. Please feel free to contact me HERE.
