Gratitude Week was inspired by
my
scary July 4 head-on collision into glass. After my frightening
experience, I'm overcome with a profound feeling of thankfulness that I'm alive and that I scraped by with only headaches, dizziness and minor cognitive confusion, which my doctor dubbed post-concussive
syndrome (post concussion syndrome. I'm also grateful that my nasty bump on the head has inspired me and given me great ideas while I'm writing my next book, the follow-up to Sugar Shock, which will be published by Hay House.
