Networks of Support
Here I am, midway (almost!) through the Masters in Social Work, and so much of what we learned this first year resonates so strongly with me. It's not that I think that I am special, for I know that many of my classmates w/o TBI have stared down issues as serious as TBI has been for me (and, likely, you, gentle reader!)
Sometimes, I hafta stop and think and remind myself how fortunate I truly am. This often happens when I am swamped by the difficulties in charting my life that spring… Continue

Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live. I am happy to see that you decided to stop by to visit with me. Thank you my friend. Several years ago I wrote an article that was widely read at the time. Over the past several days I have felt impressed to revisit that article.
I will revisit that article below and add to its original content.
Isn’t it great to be alive today! Springtime is in the air. The days are… Continue

I am HIGHIF!
August 7, 2009
I am HIGHIF!
What the Hell is that supposed to mean? More New Age spirituality cum relativism? Code embedded for sleeper cells?
No, sir. It is is my attempt to take ownership of who I am and who I have been, and to shape who I will become.
A little context is necessary. I suffered my TBI in 1986, just prior to my senior year of High School. I was the oldest of three children being raised by a single mother and an elite scholar with… Continue
