Shelagh Brennand
I had a heart attack and stroke and am living with aphasia and low vision. I had to relearn how to write and read again. I started writing poems and wondered if anyone else wrote poems after their stroke. I was so happy to find A Stroke of Poetry. I felt understood and connected, from Pennsylvania to Australia. Shelagh Brennand is a stroke advocate and an aphasia advocate and make a friend and ally. - Mark Harder (Poems in Speech)

A new road is only ever found if you keep searching.
Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a multitude of animals inside and outside it seemed they were just an extension of myself. I love them all from the furry, to feathers and even the scaly. In every occupation I have had, I dedicated myself to either taking care of animals, protecting them or the environment in one way or another. https://eclipsepetportraits.wordpress.com
