I have had a stroke in early November and have aphasia - language is jumbled up in speaking or writing. You'll note my podcasts will sound differently, but it stills me!)
My name is Tara and I’m coming to you from somewhere near the Rocky Mountains. I like to see myself as middle aged but my chances of ever becoming a centenarian are very, very remote, so I’ve accepted that I have many more yesterdays than I do tomorrows. And I’m OK with that. I’m a collector of stories, both my own and those of others. Some are amusing, some are downright funny. Some are moving and hopefully, they all inspire you in some way. It is, after all, where our stories meet that compassion and community take place. When I’m asked to share a little about myself I say, I met my husband at a nudist park, it turns out he was a rock star and then I decided to become a priest! And people say you should write a book, I’m much too lazy to write a book. So. Welcome to You Should Write a Book ~ the Podcast.
You Should Write a Book ~ The Podcast
You Are Known
I have aphasia. I am privileged because I can speak even though it is difficult sometimes, but I can get my message out. Imagine that you have your mouth is covered and you can only making intelligible sounds or even no sounds at all. And imagine that maybe you can't write or draw a picture. How do you let people know what you need? Or want? How do you let people know that you are in there? How do you let people know who you am? Do you love the indoors? Do you like comedy or fantasy movies? Do you like opera or Rush? Do you like coffee or tea, do you watch the news routinely or do you love a good potiical debate? Do you go to a church or a synagogue or do you align with the teachings of Budda?
You are in there. I see you. And you are known, I promise.
