August 11, 2020, will mark my 53 year anniversary living with the impact of a traumatic brain injury. Over the course of the past 50 years, I discovered that I needed to pursue holistic healing in my recovery process. During the past 33 years, I have been in an ongoing recovery process.
In my experience, I discovered that I needed to involve all of what makes me, me, in my recovery process.
Consequently, I realized that I needed to examine how my mind, body, soul, spirit and emotions were impacted by my traumatic brain injury. I then discovered that I could find solutions that would enhance my recovery process. Enhance my recovery process to make my life work for me.
On February 6, I began writing articles to share what helped me to move forward in my recovery process.
To date there are 1890 articles.
On July 31, 2011, I began creating video presentations of my articles to offer the information in my articles. I began creating video presentations of my articles to offer the information to individuals who learn more effectively through watching and listening.
To date, there are 423 video presentations.
On January 6, 2015, I began publishing eBooks that contain a list of my articles and video presentations. I began publishing different e Books to provide a combined collection of articles and video presentations on a variety of topics and subjects.
To date, there are 12 eBooks.

Neuroplasticity, Small Successes and Learning/Relearning Skills/Skill Sets
The Goal — Being a Work in Progress
The goal has been to improve my ability to mirror the same abilities on both the non-dominant side (left side) of my body with the dominant side (right side) of my body. As in the below demonstrations, I engage both sides of my body (my hands, arms, elbows, legs, knees, and feet).
I engage both sides of my body to improve my gross, fine motor skills and muscle memory. I engage both sides of my body to improve my dexterity, hand-eye coordination, agility, balance, stamina, precision, focus and awareness. I engage both sides of my body to improve my skills and abilities.
I engage both sides of my body to improve and enhance the quality of my life and well-being.
I engage both sides of my body to create.
Create Your Own Program
In the event that you have not begun, I would encourage you to create a program. Create a program that will empower you to create neural pathways and brain reorganization. Brain reorganization through repetitive mirrored movements on your dominant and non-dominant sides of your body. Brain reorganization to improve and enhance your quality of life and well-being.
