Survivng a major TBI, coma, and relearning LIFE again at 21...

[Rodney Barnes]

Hello everyone:

I just wanted to share some amazing information with you. After having this accident, major TBI, coma, and then eventually relearn everything over again at 21 I was able to move forward with my life (like a normal human-being... THAT is not easy, but w/ hard work ANYTHING is possible. YEARS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I wrote and published a book called, "MY MIRACLE" that talks about before, during, after, and up to this point if my life. You can visit http://SharingMiracles.net, Authorhouse.com and other websites and see and read about the book. It has amazing photos of before, during (rehab), and after. People have told me the book has opened their eyes to a whole new world and has even helped them with their problems, accidents, and life... Please, if you are going through some kind of change in your life read about my life because I have lived through SOME MAJOR CHANGES and this book just might help you in yours... I hope and pray that you have a wonderful day/evening. Your friend, Rodney

its more than relearning it is about discovering who we are now, or who we would like to be it could be looked at like a new chance to re invent ourselves into something incredible if we let it, it is a hard road but what does not kill us makes us stronger so they say

Hi Katarzyna:

Any insightful words I can give you is never give up! I don't really know what else to say, just keep moving in the right direction that will improve your future... I had to do that, be positive for my future, use help from others (rehab centers, etc), improve my well-being, go to college (for the 1st time and get 2 degrees, and use the love, caring, and positive reaction to move forward from family, friends, and staff members that are helping you move forward. When I sat down to write and publish the book, "My Miracle" almost everything came back to me (thanks to God)... When I hear from people that tell me how much the book has changed their lives or gave them hope, inspiration, and understanding that is what makes me so happy! That is what I set out to do... Please, take care and God bless you. Rodney

Thank You, Rodney. I think I've gone through a very similar ordeal. Thank you for the HOPE your book puts out.

Hello Elyse:

After years of having this experience adding in my mind, I had to let out the pressure that was builting up. I realized how blessed I was and had to tell the world about my miracle (which turned out to be miracles). I hope and pray that your life has turned out to be a miracle (I can see that you emailed me so I am guessing it turned out very good). I do hope that people like us can share their life experiences and miracles by going to http://SharingMiracles.net. I hope and pray even more can read my book because its changing lives, around the world... And that is what I was trying to do, help in understanding, give hope and care and love, and allow people to see "MY MIRACLE" (TBI, coma, relearning everything, and so on ) from my eyes. Take great care of yourself! God bless you, Rodney
