    Author

    Cannie J McNamara

    In 2002, Cannie was changed due to brain trauma. Believing, always, she would resume her life as a journeyman electrician, she underwent multiple therapies. Ten months later she was made aware her life would never be the same again. She was told more than once through the years to accept her limitations and give up the fight to become more. To this day she continues to push the envelope of life. She has written and illustrated many children's books inspired by her grandchildren and friends. She has also complied three books that are collections of her brand of poetry and writings giving an insight into her head trauma. Encouraged by others to share these works, she is striving to finish the final details of these books so they will also be made available to the public. Everything she has written has rolled around in her head until she realized it was never going away. The only way to let it free from her thoughts were to write it down. One message she would like to convey to the universe is: Brain trauma does not make people less intelligent. We process information with a greater challenge. Our intelligence does not diminish due to our trauma. We, many times, are forced to find new ways to employ this intelligence. To make it work in our behalf. We may forget, not understand clearly, or be trapped in our own minds and struggle to communicate with others. Depending on how far we push our brains at any given time can determine how intelligent we may appear to others. However, if you take the time to know us, you will see we are very much like you. We have dreams, insights, aspirations and fears like everyone else.

      About the Author

      Book 1 of 3

      Introduction

      My life has taken many different paths since my head injury November 2002.

      This book is a compilation mostly of words I have written in the last few years. A few of the works precede my worst head injury by years. Some of the works were written within a few years after my head injury.

      These works were a small way for me to record some of the thoughts that ramble around in my head. It can be difficult to make the connection orally to speak these words. If not written the words are forgotten and replaced in a heartbeat. Even as I pull out pen and paper, the original words are forgotten; the feelings remain and are replaced by new words. My one regret is the original words are always lost.

      Encouraged by others to share my works, I offer them up to anyone who would like to read them. They are a collection of experiences throughout all the changes in my life. Some are focused around living and coping with my head injury. Some with the people I have met. Some with the experiences I have shared. Some with the loss of loved ones I and others have endured.

      As you will see throughout my works, some were inspired by events that happened to others although the feelings put forth always pour from my very soul. If any of these works touch your heart, make you feel you are not so alone in your feelings, or just invoke something deep inside of you, I am glad that I could share them with
