12 years ago, an accident left me with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). I now live with lingering effects of post-concussion syndrome, which has limited my ability to do many things. I do mindfulness meditation and cognitive training daily to manage my symptoms.
About 5 yrs ago I watched a YouTube video of a chainsaw carving and wanted to try it myself. My first carvings weren’t very good but I knew almost immediately that I had found I enjoy working outside and being creative. I try to improve my skills with each carving.
Chainsaw carving has given me a purpose in life and I am enjoying the journey.
