While trying to add a picture to this blog, I accidently deleted two of the top paragraphs. I was almost sick to my stomach…almost. Things like this happen. We can either side-step and move on, or we can wallow in self-pity! Or another option, is both. I needed to do some wallowing for a few … More LIKE PETER!
When you see me now at the age of fifty-six, turning fifty-seven in October, you do not see a woman who is injured and suffering the effects of Traumatic Brain Injury. You do not see the invisible struggles. Instead, you see a woman that is strong. Yet, you do not know that the left side … More THROUGH THE EYES OF SUMMER RAY!
Our Fiscal Sponsor Carole Dean of (From the Heart Productions), has such an amazing team.
