What I do
We survivors are culpable for defining what recovery looks like. No one else.
The onus falls completely on us, as the survivors, to get up the spunk and the strength, to fight for our recoveries each day.

I survived a stroke on 20 February 2019. I was young. I was a wife to a gregarious Dutch guy, a mother to three young children, a writer, and an aspiring artist. But I was also, unfortunately, oblivious. Oblivious to the signs of stroke. To the agony that it wreaks on its survivors and their carers. And to its possibilities.
I firmly believe that each day we wake with a choice. Whatever circumstances surround that choice, you still get to decide: How do you want to live today?
And that's when I learned that what I do is actually unique and special.

I firmly believe that each day we wake with a choice. Whatever circumstances surround that choice, you still get to decide:
change!
