Why not do both (laugh and cry) at the same time! It’s interesting to watch people do that. Feels pretty good too.

Congratulations at being back to work after the long recovery period. I remember when I first called you the same day you were released, you were in a fog and asked me to call back “later.” I called a week or two later and you were well on your way to recovery and now look at you. Cool! It’s good to have you back to “normal” (whatever that means).

Oh yes, your TBI issues touched a lot of people. It’s amazing how inspirational that can be, especially for those who either have it or are dealing with others who have it. Keep sharing!

The truth is that Stephen is a great interviewer and becoming a dearest friend, so it was so easy to talk to him. We have had the best time since we met.

I’m so glad that my issues with TBI have touched so many. I’ve worked so hard to hide it from the world, as many do, that it was difficult to bring it out into the open, but Stephen made it easy. It’s how we respond to the adversity in our lives that makes the difference, not what actually happened to us. We all have stories. Some more dramatic than others, but we each carry the chapters of our lives around with us. What we do with those lessons defines who we are.

Thanks to everyone. What a great welcome back!

Thanks for stopping by - she was a hoot, wasn’t she? Gave you and everyone else a chance to learn morea bout her.

We have two more parts coming!

It’s great to meet some of Lorelle’s fans here! Thanks for coming by and taking a moment to share your thoughts here.

I’m glad to see the interview helping people get to know here more. We have two more parts coming!

I enjoyed the first part of the interview, and after reading the second part, it justs keeps getting better and better.

I’ve admired Lorelle since I started blogging 15 months ago. It’s her blog I often turned to for answers as well as guidance. Being a female blogger, I felt an instant connection with her.

Now, after reading your interview, I can understand what’s behind those words, and why they resonate with so many.

I do love her saying “get over it”. Those that learn that early in life are miles ahead of the others.

I’m glad you thought Lorelle was a cool cat with a great story. Isn’t it interesting how ALL of us have a story to tell? If all of us would just listen, we’d find a treasure trove of stories form others, often learning something in the process.

I’d watch the movie about her life too!

Her life would make a great book or movie. I’d watch it!

Thanks for doing this interview Stephen.

I know that Lorelle will eventually come back here before the next interview and leave some comments in response to yours and others but I’d like to chip in and say she’s definitely the storyteller. You’ve already met her in person so you already know how captivating she can be.

I can only hope the rest of the world, especially everyone else here at AU, will have a chance to meet her - it’ll be an experience they’ll never forget!

I’ve never even met anyone with TBI - I guess Lorelle would be the first to expose me to something like it but until she shared her story, I never knew anything about it.

You certainly had your job cut out for you when assisting your roommate with TBI. I would agree that it was a great experience for you - not easy but full of lessons.
