Welcome to my blog. I post on this, roughly once a week (it does vary). I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Don't call me names!!!

Hehehe. Hmmmm. This subject might not be about what you fear it be. I have nothing to worry about, but just got irritated the other day, and whilst speaking on the phone, got labelled an 'eco-warrior' by my own mother! I am sorry mum for 'complaining about a conversation with you', online.
 I know that I have a history of working in 'sustainable design', and have preached learnings to friends and family, but in no way do I consider myself an 'Eco-Warrior'. I do obviously try and practice as much of my learnings on the subject, as possible. I made it of great importance, the issue of recycling, not only as I moved to live independently, but also whilst living in the group environment of my rehab home. However, I've always known that although important, 'recycling' is not the only issue. There are an endless amount of other issues regarding the sustainability of our planet and its resources. Basically, it offends me, no, seriously disappoints me that I am seen as an 'eco-warrior', for having what I see as a very basic, important mentality towards future of the planet. If i am seen as an 'eco-warrior', does this mean that, most are not following these vital laws of survival? If so, I am disappointed. Please, please, please ensure that you are not to blame. Thank you.
