A quick share for you today. This was a great meeting with Steven Hail who talked about his experience as a captain in the Army, as well as sharing a new “Warrior Creed” (As my friend Michelle – stroke_mom says). Steven actually started it as an acronym that embodies all Stroke Warriors! He has some […]

Today, I wanted to talk a bit about faith. Let’s talk first about the emotional distress, along with the physical distress of stroke. The #’s actually say that 33% of people with stroke have a depressed feeling after stroke. I am here to tell you that over 85% of the people that I talk to,

This morning, I’m thinking about my own attitude. I’ve had a busy few weeks, as I’m sure you have as well, and I have to remember to keep my own attitude in check. There are times, especially as a stroke warrior, when we must remind ourselves not to allow quick responses to whatever presents itself

I, like everyone else, can find myself getting a bit negative and frustrated at times. It’s been busy and a little challenging these past few weeks. I let myself worry about things that have no real meaning. In the past two weeks, we have lost two people who have been important in our lives. Although
At times we think about how hard this change is that we are experiencing. I know, it can really be an uphill battle, especially at first. Being kind to yourself as you continue to grow and regain your own strength and motivations can be a hard thing. We need grace and, believe it or not,

Have you ever noticed that you feel great when you are around the right people? Those who are optimistic and treat you like you want to be treated? No matter what kind of mood you may be in, it’s these times when you feel that extra bit of energy that we all need at times.

I’ve been thinking about accountability and support this morning. Yesterday, we had a Stroke Warrior Meeting, and on the call I had Becca Switzer with Neuro Base Camp join in and discuss “Persistent Pain”. It was a good session, but in that meeting I started thinking about our own accountabilities within. You can watch the

This is a bit different for me, but today I thought I’d share a bit about my own story. The reason I thought to do this is because the question does come up…and there is encouragement that may help you in your post-stroke journey. I hope you know that this is to serve you. These
As I sit here this morning, I’m thinking about my priorities. As we go through this life that we are living, no matter what we have been given, we have a lot of decisions to make. These decisions are made every day…every hour…every minute really. We are constantly making choices about our day. I think

This past week we had a new person that is going to lead our Caregiver Group join us. What a great meeting we had. Feel free to watch it here https://youtu.be/CaeCEmuBW8M As I was thinking about this meeting and preparing for it, it made me re-think about the importance of our own caregivers. Maybe you

Thought I’d send out a unique blog post today. I am a believer in goal setting. Actually, I have been this way for quite some time. If you aren’t this type of person, I understand. However, I believe it is a huge key in making progress before or after having a negative thing happen. When

As we move into this last month of the year, I think about setting up a new commitment to myself. Not only to myself, but for my family as well. Yes! I did have a stroke. Yes! I have changed from what I used to do and be. But, it doesn’t mean it is time

“Be consistent in your motivation.” These were the words that I had written on a note to talk about this week; but in all honesty, it’s an absolute load of b.s. Truth is we live a life of unpredictable variables that are constantly finding ways to seep under our skin. Tragic life events, loss of friends, employers who

I’m having a conversation with my friend Ben this morning, and he reminds me about the internal conversations we all have.
