My first blog was a political one. Hope in the form of writing fuelled it. I titled it “talk talk talk” because, despite my brain injury putting dampers on my thoughts and talking, I like to talk, debate, engage. Maybe that’s why my first followers thought I was male then most bailed once I outed […]
Amazon 5-star reviews are like gold. Amazon has very strict guidelines on who can review your book like my memoir Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating the Neurons and Me. It’s rather confusing, but the fundamental principle of you can’t tell them what to write is one I abide by anyway because what’s the point of […]
After a drought of online reviews, I’m blessed with a third five-star review! No words just a heart of thanks to the reviewers who saw my book in their email subscriptions, bought it, read it, and reviewed it. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/B075XJK767/R22S0XV2PUIHUF

Stars?! Holy —-, stars! Five of them!! […]

BIST (@BrainInjuryTO) 2019-07-08, 9:45 AM “Every day is like Ground Hog Day,” From her home in Ireland, Brain Girl shares the story about […]
Ever since my CCAC therapist left, the one provided by community care under medicare, at about the same time my parents left the city, I haven’t succeeded at Camp NaNoWriMo. It was difficult as it was. I worked hard to ramp up to doing both Camps in April and July, in addition to NaNoWriMo in […]
Watching the Raptors ascend to the NBA Finals and, after a heart-fluttering and TV-remote-power-button-workout Game Six, the championship, I began to reconnect to faint traces of my old self.
