Tell us about your experience with/connection to TBI

“On the night of August 11, 1967 my dad, mom, brother and myself were in an automobile accident that forever changed our lives. Per my injuries, when the Cadillac hit our Volkswagen Beetle I was catapulted from the back seat. In the process of being thrown forward I fractured my left femur (thigh bone)...”

    For Twitter it's https://twitter.com/angelar70

    As for writing, I. will have a story in Stroke Connections Magazine.

    With pictures, I recommend editing before you download here.  Your computer probably already has a photo editor.  If not, you can buy one (office supply, computer store, Walmart, etc).

    Hi Angela,

    Thank you for writing. I hope you are doing well today. I do have a web site, Second Chance to Live, http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/. I have a Site Map http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/site-map/ that lists the articles that I have written and published for Second Chance to Live. Currently I have 439 titles listed with in my Site Map. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, I believe you will be able to identify with the information that I share with in each of my articles Angela.

    Thank you for telling me about your groups Angela. You are doing a marvelous job.I have read through several of your articles. You are a talented writer my friend and you are blessing many people with the information that you share with in your articles. I am proud of you my friend. Keep up the good work. 

    Per your question, Valerie never got back to me. I do not know if she has an active role with We Are TBI, as Stephen suggested below my friend. I would like to have heard back from Valerie. I wonder if she is a TBI survivor herself? Because I never heard back from her I decided to delete the picture from my photo's Angela.

    Does anyone know what Valerie's role is beyond her being a "Sensei" or manager of the We Are TBI web site. Is she emotionally invested in interacting with and helping TBI survivors? I would love to hear from her.

    I will say so long for now. Have a pleasant evening and God bless you and your family Angela.

    Welcome to the site.  I see you have a site.  On here, I have 3 groups (go to communities).  I'm also on MySpace and have a group there (my profile here has the address).  I have a few other things.  Did you ever get your pic problem resolved?

    Wow Craig, this is outstanding info!  May I ask how old you were when you were injured?  About 10 or so? 

    Take Care,

    Hi Stephen, Thank you so very much for your note. You are a blessing to me. I would love to be of service to anyone who is part of the community. I have sent a comment to Valerie introducing myself. I figured out that she was the leader of the tribe -- so to say -- because she had Sensei in her picture. I was going to test for my black belt in mixed martial arts in October 2009 -- as I have been a brown belt for over 2 years and my Sensei invited me into a 10 month long black belt cycle process. While training at the martial arts school this past February I hurt my right knee -- meniscus tears -- so I made a prudent decision to bow out of the 10 month long process. 

    Several questions;

    Where can I get a Wordpress widget to add to my journal section?

    Secondly, what are your thoughts per collaborating to get extra exposure to Second Chance to Live -- to encourage, motivate and empower individuals to thrive rather than merely survive?

    In my Site Map http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/site-map/ I currently have 432 articles and hope to post 2 more later today.

    Thank you again for reaching out to me Sir. Have a great day and God bless you Stephan.

    Craig thanks for your comments! A warm welcome from the whole family here @ WeAreTBI.org. I also had a look at your site - a great resource, always great to connect with active members in the community. If you think there is anyway we might be able to collaborate please let me know, to get extra exposure to your blog, you could add the Wordpress widget to your Journal section in your profile - I am certain people on here would love to read your stuff. Valerie Chavez, our Community Manager, manages the everyday running of the site and she will be able to help out with any questions you might have. Also, message me anytime on here if you need to reach me! Once again, welcome, I look forward to speaking with you more..
