Part of my brain is dead because I had a stroke. I suffer daily from headaches and often from migraines. I work 40hrs/week. I write and draw at every opportunity. I sleep often because the pain in my head is physically exhausting. I panic that I’m a burden on others. I freeze when the attention is on me. Customer Service can be turmoil, and making calls is something I have to work up the courage for.

And I know that I am not alone in any of this. We’re all struggling. Not with something, but with many things.

It’s so important to be patient with each other as much as with ourselves. We’re doing freaking great! Not every day. Not every moment. But every time we try, we are doing great.

When someone takes the time to learn a little about my struggle, it feels really good. Heartwarming! But even more touching, is when someone trusts me enough to share their struggles.

For all of us fighting, and for everyone building up the courage, I’ve been inspired to write Tomorrow’s Dawn. It’s a WIP that is coming soon in 2024. As the artwork begins and the story comes together, you’ll keep getting teasers and tidbits. May you see yourself in the journey as it unfolds.

Cheers and Blessings, because I know you got this!
