INTRODUCTION

21 Years ago, I was in a terrible car accident. I was driving and slid on ice, covered up with snow. It was the day after Christmas. I was flown to Suburban Hospital and sunk into a coma. When I awoke, I was unaware that the right side of my body was paralyzed. My lungs had collapsed and a couple of ribs were broken. Hey, but other than that- I was fine. I didn’t have a scratch on me and by everyone’s accounts, my hair and nails still looked good.
I learned to walk, talk and write again. And I learned how to use other parts of my brain to improve my memory, which I lost temporarily.
11 years ago I wrote a book about what I learned from my experience. I wrote about observations on life and human nature and how I got inspired from my accident and recovery…
It was over 250 pages and it. wasn’t. very. good. It was never published (surprise!).
It was overwritten.

I put my manuscript in a drawer and left it there over the past decade.

Recently, I edited that 252 page book. I turned 40 and decided that I’m just doing what I love from now on, for the rest of my life.

So, I just took out the good stuff-

a sentence here, a thought there, a story here, a lesson there.

And Here It Is!

It’s the BananaBlueberry Bits Book!

All the chapters are short… it’s a good read…

Believe In Yourself.

That’s What It All Comes Down To.

CHAPTER 1 – The Beginning

CHAPTER 2 – A View Out A Window

CHAPTER 3 – Peeing, The Moment that Really Changed My Life
