From watching my own mind deteriorate circuit by circuit, I learned that every ability I have, from wiggling my finger to creating language, is dependent on a group of cells inside of my brain functioning in a healthy, happy way. I realized in order to get well I had to make the cells that performed those functions well again. It gave me an entirely different way to look at myself as an individual and at all of us as people.

If I can choose who I am in the moment, then I can choose to come in as my left brain personality and all of the skill sets that goes with that.

Just like children, emotions heal when they are heard and validated.

I am always in quest of being open to what the universe will bring me.

In the course of four hours, I watched my brain completely deteriorate in its ability to process all information. On the morning of the hemorrhage, I could not walk, talk, read, write or recall any of my life. I essentially became an infant in a woman's body.

My stroke of insight would be: peace is only a thought away, and all we have to do to access it is silence the voice of our dominating left mind.

I can choose to come into the world as my right brain personality, which is more compassionate, more open, more loving, and more right here, right now available.
