I'm trying to write the introduction to my book,1

I promise my late husband I word write this book. What Are You Worth maybe, Wake UP America. We all do not have an even playing field. For those that are not on an even playing end feels frustration and feeling of isolation. fI want this book to come from a head injury point of view. That maybe we can create a bridge between worlds. I not fancy at words or grammar. It takes longer for me to learn. I need to write it done on a notebook before I learn it. My programs say I learn to slow. It grieves me that many people that I talk too are afraid for me to write their stories for fear that it may come back on them.2

I too share their fears. I want to point out the pro and cons of both sides. I have over two hundred pages wrote out. I journal my feeling down so I can remember what I need to do. Some times it works depending on what condition's I face. Some my triggers are too much stress, my body shuts done I sleep for 24 hours or longer. This is frustrating because I forget what needs to be done. There days I feel like I live on another plant.3

I took time to read and research issues of other disabilities and how it relate to us by the media. When they cover these issues it not wrote about rights or wrong. Its like the word says how I feel or others feel. I wrote so call Senators no one seems to want to talk about these issues. I feel that I am the right person to write about it. 4

I have had a had injury and other disabilities some time it feel like I am treated like a child then adult or they see my high functioning side do not understand the lower functioning side. They think it can be changed. It take money and people who truly want to help. Did anyone ask someone who has had a head injury or did they live their life for day. 5

Many agencies tell those who have disabilities to live in their world. Some of us can not fit in idea of their box. It like trying to shove a square peg in a round hole. It does not work. I have thought of three books wrote is several different ways.I have some college. When I tried to go to college if I could not do it their way. They saw at being treated special. All I wanted was a chance to do something that would help improve the world.6

These are just some thoughts trying to unblock my fear of writing about it and what others will say about me.

    Oh dear sweet sister my heart goes out to you. I too worry about what the world thinks of me and that is not right, we should be able to be who we are and be proud of it no matter what. I know what you mean about having a disability so many are so closeminded about certain disabilties, mental for one, I had such a hard time fighting Social Security for my benefits they kept saying that my mental problems did not qualify I then had to get a lawyer and finally after 3 years won.

    I hope you will continue to keep writing don't let others in take this away from you. I love you so much and am so proud to call you my sister, hugs Theresa

    P.S. I will be praying for you as always.
