    Disenabled Life with Craig & Cheryl
    2016/08/02
    Disenabled Life – Learning to live creatively With Craig & Cheryl It is one thing to struggle, and keep making mistakes and over all feeling like a failure, but it is another thing to not even try. To say I can never be life magic Johnson or Abraham Lincoln so you don’t even try to do something like play a sport or get into politics. During the last year and over many many events I have been people watching, and I have noticed that people who were born with a disability are fighting for the right to do somethings but many who acquirers disability just plan don’t try, have no hope somehow believe the best of them are behind themselves. I say no way to that way of thinking, looking back on how miserable my life and supports just feel apart it really was a good thing. I would not be doing what I do now if I just gave up let people do everything for me and what they didn’t do no one would. Life the simple things cleaning up after myself, paying my bills or buying food just plan taking care of me. I had no choice with my injury I had to do for myself or die literally. I decided to do. What kind of life is it when you already give up before you ever start? I may joke around with my injury and throw it out as a crotch but I don’t use it, if I say I am going to do something I do it, I don’t call in the brain card. Being accountable is important to success. When you lose that you already lost success.. see full discription here Tonight well talk about camp, movies coming out, walks and pride parades I hope to talk to some other doers out there, show me that they still exists or have they all just gave up. Hear you tonight

  • Healing Through Creativity with Cheryl Green & Craig Sicilia

    Healing Through Creativity with Cheryl Green & Craig Sicilia
    2016/05/03
    Healing Through Creativity Hosted by Cheryl Green and Craig Sicilia Creativity and time can heal all things. Even though it’s been almost 10 years, the first 3 or 4 being the darkest of all. Creativity kept me alive, kept me from letting the darkness of loss because of my disability after sustaining a brain injury. It gave me purpose, strength and carried me through many days and months and years. There are many forms of creativity, and hope to have many share their arts, but some that I have worked with and all were an amazing benefit, but I had to explore many different types. And some of them worked at different times in my journey to today. Some of the ones I have used, have been, writing in the beginning I have written thousands of pages of material, and hope to come out with a book one day, I have 2 ready to go. But the books will change my life and how people think of me. Writing them not only helped me deal with the darkness I was going through but also the extreme darkness before my injury. Then it was on to writing music, forming a band, and then performing. And as suddenly as the music came several years later it left just as quickly. Then banner design through graphics, writing lessons and developing curriculum for schools, support groups and many others. Other creative things like public service project, events like brain injury camp, hoopfest teams, gaming events all of which gave me purpose. Other forms of creativity are painting, sewing, pottery, yoga, movie making, crafts like jewelry making, poems, needle work, building things, destroying things. All help us deal with things and heal. All give us purpose. Love to hear what folks are doing out there, call in and share 424-243-9540

    WHO I am - with Cheryl and Craig
    2016/04/05
    WHO I am with Cheryl and Craig Now that’s a tough question to answer, I guess it depends on any given day. For many survivors it’s not about who but more about why. Is there a purpose and what the purpose is. You may ask yourself what did I do to deserve this or you may have the same thoughts from a grateful place and ask yourself what did I do to deserve this! The grateful heart will make all the difference in the world In an ever ending world that is being torn apart by the sinisterism that is brain injury. A mind rattled with the random thoughts and perplexities of a world that is moving too fast for our minds to process just what the hell is going on. Tonight we will discuss that, brain storm it. As well I want to chat about Cheryl’s new movie coming out Who Am I to Stop It. Check out the trailer it is incredible. Check it out take a look https://vimeo.com/155924543

    2015/06/02
    Finding your New Abilities Recognizing little alone discovering who we are after a brain injury takes time. It is a long lonely road at times, one of the keys is reaching out to others, finding those we have common ground with a common interest. It is not really fair that we have these memories of things we once loved to do and were good at, and now we have little to no interest in some of these things. It becomes important to explore new things, new ideas and find new people who will become part of our lives. As hard as all this is, it is the path to finding a life that is worth living. Something that inspires passion with in the depths of our soul. We will explore some of the ways we have seen people find this meaning.
