Following my brain injury at the age of 10 in 1967 and for many years hope was repeatedly stripped away from me. In the process of hope being stripped away from me, I felt as though I had little power. Hope for the future and power to affect my well-being and my quality of life. Little by little my self-acceptance and self-esteem crumbled under disappointment. My sense of hopelessness and lack of power continued until I reached a point in time. A point in time when I could no longer deny the impact of my brain injury. A point in time when I stopped trying to be a person not impacted by a brain injury.

With my awareness, came the realization that I could stop fighting against myself. With my awareness came the realization that I could look at hope in a different way. In a way that I could work in partnership with hope. With the change in the way that I looked at hope, I discovered that I could change the way that I looked at empowerment. With the change in the way that I looked at empowerment, I began to realize that I could own my power. With these realizations, I discovered that I could create a good life for myself while living with the impact of a brain injury.

Several days ago I wrote an article to share what I discovered that helped me to regain hope in my life. To share what I discovered that helped me to realize and own my power after my severe brain injury (open skull fracture) which I sustained in a car accident when I was 10 years old in 1967. I wrote the article to offer a comprehensive way to access links to each of the 1815 articles, 400 video presentations, and 10 eBooks. The articles: Resources for Gaining Hope and Owning Our Power after a Brain Injury.

After writing, creating and publishing the information I wanted to provide a streamlined way to access the information within my articles, video presentations, and eBooks. To do so I created specific pages and a series of links on those pages.
