About the book:
This book is based on my notes in my journals that I have kept over the last six years. I have always had a strong belief in God.
My book is a combination of journal entries, personal quotes, and bible verses. (This Certificate issued under the seal of the Copyright Office in accordance with title 17, United States Code, #TXu 1-713-281)
I wrote this book because many individuals who have had a stroke do not find the motivation they need during recovery. Many family members often times do not know what to do to encourage and inspire them through recovery. I thought about how I was motivated during my recovery, and decided to put it in a book, as an encouragement for others.
I have a new motto which helps me live with a Aphasia: To walk on the water, you've got to get out of the boat!

I was thinking about my own experiences and the source(s) of my motivation during my recovery. Here are some quotes that have inspired me:
"Contemplation is the way of the thinker."
"You can't expect what you don't know."
"In a man's heart is the power to be or not to be."
"When I dwell upon my intuition I stand in the presence of God Revealing Light."
"I am conscious of the thinker behind my thinking when I contemplate...will enter into the temple of my thoughts to worship."
