ABOUT ME:

I was injured 3 years ago in a rear-end collision while sitting still in traffic on an expressway. I use a rolling walker to get around. I've been sleeping sitting up in a chair for 3 years. Oh, how I'd love to be able to sleep in a bed. But the pain is too bad to lay flat. I recently discovered I have new found gifts of talent I believe is a result of one part of my brain compensating for a non working part. I've become very artistic. I've uploaded some of my work but please keep in mind I'm only using a mechanical pencil and lined paper. Soon I will be getting charcoals, sketch paper and other supplies to work with. I couldn't draw more than stick people before my accident. Meditation helps me control my pain and my mood. I've also received very intuitive information during my meditations. I'm grateful to be alive. Thanks.
