An Interview on “Crafting a Meaningful Life”

Picture
      On December 11th, 2024, I was interviewed by the lovely Mary Crafts. Mary is the podcast host of “Crafting a Meaningful Life.” She is also a life coach, an inspirational speaker, a consultant, a former CEO of her catering business in Utah, and an all-out dynamic personality.


Picture
On Mary’s show titled, “Finding Strength and Love Through Life's Unexpected Challenges,” Mary and I discussed how life trounces on us and tosses obstacles in our paths and how we react to those barriers and conquer the hurdles. We talked about my unexpected fork in the road when my husband, David, had a traumatic brain injury in 2005 and how David and I are wending our way through the maze of brain injury life. Mary and I also chatted about my book, Prisoners Without Bars: a caregiver’s tale, published by WriteLife Publishing in 2018, and how my honest, heart-wrenching story not only provides readers with an inside view of the debacles and triumphs of brain injury that David and I face, but it also guarantees to make readers Laugh! Cry! And G-A-S-P!

A Birthday Gift that Made Me Cry

Picture
     Prisoners Without Bars: a caregiver’s tale just garnered another amazing Amazon review. I feel honored and humbled that people read my book and take the time to write a review.

     Sherida Stewart did just that and here are her words. And what’s even more special, this review was published on my birthday, December 7th. I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present. Her review made me cry—happy, happy tears!

     Thank you so much, Sherida, for making my day.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling love story…..
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024

     I met this author a couple of years ago, but just recently read her book….an engaging, heartfelt, and honest story of the impact of her husband’s life-changing medical event. The author expressed truthful emotions about their experiences and the perseverance required by both the patient and the caregiver in dealing with the challenges.

     My husband endured an accident which forever altered our “normal.” He had multiple (miracle) surgeries, then weeks in the hospital, followed by months of recovery. I admire this couple who offer hope and inspiration to others facing devastating changes in their lives.

    I am the author of Prisoners without Bars: A Caregiver's Tale. It's the true story of how my husband almost left me--three times.
    He had three brain surgeries in less than two weeks. Those are pretty drastic measures, don't you think? I told him if he didn't come back to me, I would never forgive him. And guess what? It worked. He did!​
