My Life Right Now

It has been a while since my last post and a lot has happened.

   I've still been staying very busy with my public speaking, although it has died down with schools being out for summer, but I still present to a driving school every two weeks and I have presented to nursing students over at Children's Hospital once for the summer semester.

    I am also volunteering in the Family Resource Center at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati, which is allowing me to give back to the hospital where I woke up from a coma and began to rebuild my life from nothing.  I would have liked to have been on patient floors where I could interact with kids because, having been in a similar situation myself, I felt like I could relate, but they already had a bunch of Nursing students volunteering to do things like that. 

   I am still making a difference, though, and families (and kids) seem to get a lot out of just seeing me trying to live life to the fullest.

   I've also decided that I'm going to try to be pro-active in traveling and at least email schools in Southern Kentucky to see if they'd like to have me down to present.  The only problem is, as I've mentioned before, that schools have no money so they're afraid to ask me to come present, which kills me because money's not an issue for me and I'm not looking to break the bank.  I would like to cover expenses if I need to travel, but even that's not important.

    I'm also writing a book called A Life Lost, A Life Found, but I've been stuck at the point of the wreck for a week because how do I describe waking up in the hospital and having no clue where I am or what happened to me?

   Things are going well and hopefully good things will continue to happen!
