It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

One Last Ride

One last ride with Donna. For almost two years, I have been driving Donna to Stanford every other week for treatment. Our trips lasted two days each and were so very special to me. Taking Donna to Stanford was the first important thing I was trusted with after my injury and it marked a significant turning point for me. I was finally beginning to accept that while there was MUCH I COULD NOT DO, THERE WERE STILL IMPORTANT THINGS I COULD DO... AND I COULD TRUST GOD TO SHOW THEM TO ME. (Caps intended).

Today, for one last time, I will pick up Donna and we will ride west, but not to visit clinics or have treatments. Today, we are tourist of a sort. As Richard and our granddaughter Chani take a load of furniture to our daughter in Monterey in the little red Ford Ranger and a rented trailer, Donna and I will drive out to meet the others in Monterey.

It will be a short visit. Just overnight, and we'll head back tomorrow morning, but I am looking forward to seeing Stephanie and her new apartment, to enjoying the wonders of Monterey and maybe visiting a great coffee house owned by a friends daughter See below)... and one last ride with Donna.
