I have been writing Concussion Talk for over four years. During that time I have written copious posts and an ebook, Detour. I enjoy writing and getting my ideas on paper, or on a screen as the case may be. That being said, beginning in January 2015, I would like to do more public speaking about brain ...

By Thursday, November 13, 2014 0 No tags Permalink

As with last week, this second Sunday went well, albeit with fewer particpants. I've been tired this week, and I was out with friends on Saturday night, but it still felt good to get up on Sunday morning and go to the Pilates studio. As is so often the case with any exercise, I felt better ...

Getting back to where you were

By Wednesday, September 24, 2014 0 No tags Permalink

Huh? That seems counterproductive. I've always understood life and time as concepts that move forward, but commonly, after a very difficult injury that changes the way one sees and interacts with the world and society, people say that instead of moving forward, one should 'get back to the way you were'. Granted, I thought this way ...
