Good morning and welcome back to Second Chance to Live. I am glad you decided to stop by and visit with me. During the past week I have been searching for specific answers to some questions. In my quest to find answers to these questions I experienced some frustration. Because I sincerely believe that I am an empowered being with infinite resources at my disposal, I began looking for the resources that could help answer my questions. Although I was initially anxious about the situation that led to my questions, I was able to make contact with the appropriate resources and in the process gain some resolution.
When I find solutions to my frustrations I find a new source of courage and I am empowered.
Questions provide wonderful opportunities to explore and learn. Questions provide the motivation to find answers that empower our process. Questions become the portal to a new world of understanding. With that understanding we gain wisdom, which in turn equips us to find solutions. Solutions empower and equip us to live the life that we have imagined in spite of our circumstances. When we are empowered we find the determination to succeed beyond our questions. Consequently, our circumstances no longer need to dictate to you and me, because we take full advantage of living life on life’s terms.
My friend, you may have many questions. You may believe that you have been forsaken by life itself. You may believe — at the present time — that no answer could possibly exist. You may believe that you are stuck because of a roadside bomb or a drunk driver. You may have convinced yourself that nothing good could come from your injuries. You may have considered giving up on yourself and on your process. Based on my own experience as a traumatic brain injury survivor, I have good news for you my friend.
Rise Again! You best days are yet to come.
Believe in your process, in a loving God and in yourself. More will be revealed with each new day. The answers to your questions will become apparent. You will find solutions to empower and equip your process. Take courage my friend. You are not alone in your struggle. Therefore, commit yourself to asking questions and passionately pursuing the answers to those questions. Reach out to those individuals who can provide the resources to answer your questions and thus provide you with solutions. The answers to your questions will empower you to live the life you have imagined. With time, you will realize that you are not limited because of your limitations, deficits or disability.
Dream Again!

Good morning Craig. I thought this posting came at the perfect time. Kylah was hit in the head with a volleyball at practice last Tuesday and we spent most of the evening in the ER. She had more brain swelling and lost most use of her legs, so that she needed a walker to get around. She only missed one day of school and was determined to be back and active on Thursday. Her friends have been wonderful. They are amazed at how much she smiles and makes others laugh even though she is going through such a rough time. Kylah breaks down with us at times, but I am so proud of her courage and strength while she is trying to find her answers.
Knowing that someone else understands keep my hopes and spirits alive. I appreciate all that you do.
