Are You Ready to Be a ‘Silent Angel’ ?
June 24, 2014,2:35 pm
 Fantastic Frank with Angela Leigh Tucker A friend of mine, Angela Leigh Tucker, was recently awarded the “Silent Angel Award” by the Brain Injury Association of NY State (BIANYS). You can find her story, along with mine, in The Chicken Soup for the Soul: Recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury. The Silent Angel award “Recognizes those who make it possible for others to be in the forefront of the association’s activities.” I just love this concept of a “silent angel” and came to find, from searching the internet, that there are many, many “silent angels” out there. I found groups related to animal rescue, real estate, Rett syndrom, etc… the point is that, there is help. A great quote from one of them is: “So why are we silent? Because doing the right thing is all that really matters.” This got me thinking of all the ways that each and every person can be a silent angel to someone else. Don’t be daunted – it doesn’t have to involve raising millions of dollars to charities….. How about a smile? What is it that you can do to uplift another person? No matter what your own circumstance, there is something you can do/share/be. Take my friend Angela Leigh Tucker – she incurred a traumatic brain injury in a car accident that killed her husband. And she found a way to make a difference. Sometimes when we lift others up, it uplifts our own spirits as well. Give it a try. |
Researching The Proper Knowledge Can Save Your Life
June 15, 2014,5:03 pm
This really shouldn’t surprise me, because I encounter it all the time, perhaps even more outside the “differently-abled” community. When someone is “differently-abled” they know on some level, to varying degrees of acceptance, that they need help. How about you? What keeps you up at night? Is there something you need help with, and are afraid to admit it? My life-saving advice to you, is to take the first step, by researching help on the internet. You will be amazed at the wealth of resources available for every kind of challenge. Once you see there are others that share your pain, it will become easier to make the next step, which is to reach out to someone and share your story. Depending on your needs, many organizations and professionals provide confidential services in which you may remain anonymous. The key is to PRESUME THERE IS HELP, and look for it with the EXPECTATION that you WILL FIND IT.

What do George Clooney, Della Reese, Gary Busey, Barbara Mandrell, Bob Woodward, and Fantastic Frank Johnson have in common?
July 19, 2013,2:23 pm
George Clooney, Della Reese, Gary Busey, Barbara Mandrell, Bob Woodward, and Fantastic Frank Johnson have all had some form of a brain injury.
Della Reese, had a hemorrhagic stroke in the middle of singing Pieces of Dreams on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show in 1979. An aneurysm burst in her brain, bringing her to her kneed and then unconscious on stage. Gary Busey, had a serious head injury in 1988 during a motorcycle accident. He was not wearing a helmet. A friend saved his life by pressing on a hole in his head until help arrived. After a critical operation that night, couldn’t talk, walk, or swallow. Barbara Mandrell, suffered a head injury during a 1984 car accident in which her two children were told at the scene that she was dead. The 19 year old driver of the other car died. She wrote of her survival in her autobiography Get to the Heart: My Story. Bob Woodward, suffered severe head injuries in 2006 from a roadside bomb, despite wearing a helmet. He was traveling with the Iraqi Army unit as a reporter. Fantastic Frank Johnson suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was trapped in a fire. My point is that any one.. that is ANY ONE can become a member of the largest group of minorities in the United States at any time, which is people with disabilities. It does not have to be a brain injury, I just chose these celebrities because I can identify with every one of them!
