I could not paint after a Traumatic Brain Injury / Concussion from a car accident. I was heartbroken I couldn't paint or read anymore. Creativity was a slow process. I prayed, didn't give up, imagined it, and believed, "I got this!"

I focused on the things I could do, like pray, take short walks, take baths, meditate through the pain, imagine, laugh, cry, and be patient with slow recovery. A brain injury didn't stop me from relearning to read, creating Artsy Paint, making memories, and spreading hope.
