4 years ago, I had a brain injury.
It took me 3 years to recover.
I had to rebuild from the very basics.
It was the best thing that ever happened.
Here are 10 life-changing lessons Iβve learned.
I saw this quote today and it kept echoing in my head.

Today, for me, it meant choosing to work from my patio. Birds chirping, little bit of traffic, laptop open.
This is enough.

It started with fear.
A talk I over-prepared for. And one drawing I couldn't stop thinking about.

But someone gave me better advice: wait until you have a book burning inside you that you can't not write.
I finally found mine.
