#TBIthursday: Talk like a duck

Not all my #TBIthursday memories will be about me. This one is about a duck named Dad!

Book Review: “Born a Crime” by Trevor Noah

My monthly book review is of comedian Trevor Noah’s autobiography “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood.”

I evaluate if my new blog feature #TBIthursday is helping me generate new content for my brain injury memoir.

Instead of “Christmas in July” I am giving thanks in my own “Thanksgiving in July.”

In this week's installment of #TBIthursday, I look back on some good advice given to me while I was recovering that I still use today.

I launch a new feature that I am calling Traumatic Brain Injury Thursday where I focus on writing more about my TBI.

An extra monthly essay where I talk about the very important dogs in my life in an essay I’m calling “The Important Puppy.”

A writing update on my memoir. I discuss how much I have written, how much more I have to write, and techniques I will use to finish my memoir.

I reflect on balancing the somewhat selfish act of memoir writing with being a responsible citizen of this very chaotic world.

I reveal several books I’ve read recently to keep my mind off the chaos of the world.
