  1. Resilient Heart – TBI x3, that's me! If you had a Traumatic Brain Injury (or Injuries!) and knew you might not remember dates, events, people, etc., would you live each day differently? Would you give more, forgive more, heal more? I am. The statistics for me developing Dementia or Alzheimer's is a high possibility - one, because of the TBIs, and two - because I'm genetically predisposed. Come with me as this present moment is all we know we have... Wishing you all the best - today & always. Blessings, Love & Peace, RH

    Awesome!

    I like how it includes other types of addiction than drug and/or alcohol abuse. It’s my belief most everyone has an addiction of one kind or another, some are easily seen from the outside, some are not.

    I’d never seen this before, it’s inspiring. Reminds me of the three A’s: Awareness, Acceptance, Action.

    Thanks so much for sharing this and inspiring us.

    Blessings, Love & Peace,

  4. teeceecounsel – Nigeria – Who am I really? Can that be defined yet? Probably by the time I'm long gone and all the pieces of my activities are compiled and analysed then you can know what you want to know about me. Meanwhile, I write. Not because I love writing but because I love people. I love to care and love to share. I'm a deep thinker and I love to believe in the impossible. The ideal is attainable and a shot at it must be given. Don't say 'It won't work' rather ask 'how will it work? Nobody is ever doomed unless they made the choice. To resist good and to adopt evil is already doom. To loose hope is to choose doom but to believe that every step is a passing phase leading towards your hope is to choose progress. I may go on and on but my posts say it all. I don't force you to agree, I only say enjoy!

  5. Step On a Crack – I am a proud Mother, a Reader, a Poet, A Seeker. I have worked as a community organizer for most of my adult life. I continue to be fascinated and horrified by politics and am most concerned with poverty and human rights in the United States. I was the primary caregiver in my family for my mother who was a life long alcoholic and a physically abusive mother. My mother died a chronic alcoholic. She lived the last years of her life in a haze of alcoholics dementia; Wernicke Korsakoff. I will return to the streets once my son has flown the nest. I will NOT follow in my mothers footsteps.

    I am deeply touched by this! The genetic predispostion to addiction is a HUGE problem and it needs to be addressed by families. Period.

    Thank you very much for posting this

    I am going to reblog this ASAP!

    Peace, Jen

    1. Glad it spoke to you Jen – I read your blog and identified strongly so followed some of your links and found this site. It’s a really strong message – I normally have the attention span of a knat so thought eight minutes was too long but I was fascinated. It was me captured in a cartoon!!

        Isabella!

        YES! I usually can’t stick it through a ‘long’ video. This one was worth every second and I coulc not tear myself away. I am going to be addressing the Genetic piece of addiction soon and this video is perfect!

        Peace, Jen
