Why Burnt Scrambled Eggs?

I get asked about the title all the time.

People try to figure it out, and when they can’t, they ask me what in the world it means.

Here’s my egg metaphor:

So, even if life looks perfect, like a sunny-side-up egg, in an instant, the yolk can break and scramble the egg. Make sense?

And that’s what inspired the egg image on the cover.

Before my stroke, I was settling into life in my hometown after many years. I was renovating my family home, and I thought I knew where I was headed.

But in July 2019, I had a stroke, and my whole world changed.

Having a stroke impacts so much more than just physical appearance or cognitive skills; it can affect your independence, confidence, relationships, and even your sense of yourself.

Some days, I just felt totally burnt out; exhausted, frustrated, and really overwhelmed.

Nothing looked at all the way it did before. Not even close.

All my “plans” had gone out the window.

And that’s where this blog begins.
