Since acquiring your TBI, how many different directions have you discovered or developed? Are you still doing what you did before your brain injury or have you developed a new talent or skill? Has your employment opportunities changed? Have you discovered so many, you still haven't found your 'niche'? Join us tonight as we discuss some of the various changes a Brain Injury has not only on the recipient but the Family and Friends and how Together Everyone Achieves Miracles.

THIS WEEK:  Breaking All The Rules Labels are defined as a small piece of paper, fabric, plastic, or similar material attached to an object and giving information about it. So what part of "Traumatic Brain Injury" could possibly provide information to those ignorant of them? When I first acquired a TBI (w/personality changes) I had a family member who was a Registered Nurse, implore me not to share that information with anyone, as it would preclude me from acquiring employement. Did I just get an incurable contagious disease? What was this thing called  "TBI"? What was so TRAUMATIC about this Brain Injury was not how I acquired it, but the crap that followed. I was medically retired from the Marine Corps, unable to gain traditional employement due to this "TBI" and even had to get Professional Couseling just so the VA would pay for VocRehab. My home life sucked, for both my spouse and daughter, as I often lashed out at them for 'no reason'. Had I become what I abhored? Was I destined to a LIFE of labels and misperceptions of not just me, but what a Traumatic Brain Injury was about? Not anymore! Join us tonight and our Special Guest, Joe Litke, who will share his journey of how he's "Breaking All The Rules" despite the multiple brain injuries he sustained since birth and Learn how a few key changes anyone can make, but only few are aware of, to help you define your own Rules today.

THIS WEEK:  Draft Day 2015 Ever notice, the day before our LIVES change forever, feels like an ordinary day?

No matter what we do, there are two kinds of peole in this World, Those of us with Brain Injuries and those who haven't gotten them yet. You could be drafted next...(or again) Driving down the road, riding your bicycle, hiking, skiing, skating, or any one of a thousand different things Mankind has adopted into society.
