DID YOU KNOW THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN BY A STROKE SURVIVOR?




I GIVE YOU A STROKE SURVIVOR BY AARON AVILA




Want to see a person who has looked death in the eyes?
I give you a stroke survivor!

Want to see a person who walks in total despair but rises each morning with hope?
I give you a stroke survivor!

Want to see a person faced with extreme financial hardship yet keeps going?
I give you a stroke survivor!

Want to see a person whose life is changed as fast as lightning strikes?
I give you a stroke survivor!


Want to see a person stripped down to the very core of life?
I give you a stroke survivor!


Want to see a person who has every reason to wave a white flag of defeat but fights like a mighty warrior? 
I give you a stroke survivor!


Want to see a person who realizes life is extremely fragile?
I give you a stroke survivor!



Want to see a person who truly loves life?
I give you a stroke survivor!



Want to see a person who never gives up?
I give you a stroke survivor!



Want to see a person that deeply and truly loves their family?
I give you a stroke survivor!



Want to see a person who is stronger than any human on this planet?
I give you a stroke survivor!



Want to see a person who understands pure love?
I give you a stroke survivor!



Want to see a person who gives to others?
I give you a stroke survivor!



Want to see a person whose brain does not control their body?
I give you a stroke survivor!


WE ARE NOT STROKE VICTIMS! 
WE ARE STROKE SURVIVORS!

YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE A LOT OF BLOGS


Hi peeps!

I'm going to be moving some Blogs I want you to see from my Second Chance Stroke Survivors Blog to this Blog!

DID STROKE TAKE AWAY WHO I AM?


I was talking to a sister about how she feels stroke made her lose her identity. So I thought I'd write a Blog about it.

My point of view.

Stroke doesn't take away who you are but rather strips the person of those external things that we thought made us who we are!

Our job, Our abilities, things we were able to physically do. We believed those made up who we are.

But just as Gold is refined and made pure by fire, removing all impurities that are not gold so also stroke does to a person.

It's not that stroke took away who you were, it, like refining gold took away the impurities those things you held on to that you thought were your identity but were not!

Stroke has striped your life down to the very core of the person you are.

What you're left with after stroke is a pure person who now needs to be rebuilt a new.

You have been given a second chance most people on this planet never get!

To live 2 lives in 1.

You have a very rare opportunity to rebuilt who you are better than you were before!

You now must rebuild from the very core of the person you now are.

You feel you lost your identity when you really didn't. You've just been stripped of those meaningless things in your life that were of no character value.

So now stroke survivors use this opportunity you've been given to find your core as a person (the foundation if you will) and begin to rebuild who you are with high end quality character building materials!

There is hope! You've been given a second chance at life on this planet!

Good energy,

Aaron

I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO WRITE A BOOK! HOW AM I DOING? BOOK BLOG 1

MY WALK OF DESTINY
1) Title Page
My Walk Of Destiny
By Aaron Avila
People who inspired me to write a book
My everything! My true soul mate whom holds my very breath of life on this planet!
My wife and my very best friend.
Rebecca Avila
To my incredible son Ryan Avila. Whom without his love and support our family be in a much different place! Proud of you son! Love you like no other! You’re a gifted man!
My family whom I love! Thank you for your heartfelt support.
And one of the women in my life who had a significant impact on who I am today outside of my wife is “My Aunt Julie Hanson,  Affectionately known as MAJ.  (My Aunt Julie) I love and appreciate you to the very core of who I am.
Special people in my heart
Every member of Second Chance Stroke Survivors! My awesome new family whom I love with a powerful love only God himself can give. Each of you truly inspired me! Go stroke survivors worldwide!
And a very special thanks to Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who wrote the book My Stroke of Insight. A must read by every stroke survivor in the world! Her book inspired and impacted my now stroke survivor life in a way that was not of human creation but from God himself. Thank you Dr. Jill!
I would have to say the person I would give equal heartfelt inspiration and gave me a type of spiritual boldness to be true to my Walk Of Destiny is Oprah Winfrey. Oprah and her absolute amazing guests on Super Soul Sunday. With all I am, thank you.
An inspired quotr I received during one of her amazing Super Soul Sunday shows is, “Religion is man working to reach God, Spiritual Truth is God reaching down, and revealing himself to a man”.

CHAPTER 1
MY WALK OF DESTINY STORY
WHO I AM NOW
As I begin to write my thoughts down, I can only aspire to be like the many gifted and enlightened guests I watch on Super Soul Sunday. I would have to say Oprah Winfrey and her amazing guests have inspired me like no other, to be true to my spiritual walk of destiny that my life has taken through stroke survival. For one of many spiritual truths on Super Soul Sundays I whole heatedly believe and am now learning is “Bad things happen for you not to you" puts a whole new awakening to the truth for stroke survivors around the world.
Hi I thought you may want to know who I am.
Currently Age: 52.
Born September 1st 1963.
Age 47 when I had a major aneurysm and two weeks later had a major stroke.
September 17th 2010. The day the course of my life changed forever!
Deficits: Can’t walk, Dysarthria, Balance issue.
Married 22+ years to one of the most awesome and amazing women on the planet! Rebecca Avila.
Father to the most awesome son on the planet!
Ryan Avila 22
Born and Raised: Santa Rosa California
Adopted by Verne and Nonie Avila
How I truly feel:
I was the type of guy that could do about anything I set my mind to. Cutting down a 80’ tree….no problem! Designing a water or rain harvesting system…..no problem! Running a crew building a 100,000 gallon water storage tank…………..no problem! Running and owning my own companies National Storage Tank and Rain Harvesting Solutions Inc. for over 12 years BS (Before Stroke) done!


Then on September 17th 2010 as fast as lightning strikes, the course of my life would change forever! My true destiny was about to be revealed to me. You see, my divine destiny was to be a stroke survivor. It’s who I am now.
I was doing the day to day grind and I truly believe there was only one thing that would stop me dead in my tracks! A stroke and near death experience! Now, like most, I had no clue what stroke was.
This cataclysmic life event, forced me to fully re-evaluate all the things I, like most everyone, took for granted! Life itself, walking, talking, feeling one with my body, family, friends but I truly believe that I’ve been given a SECOND CHANCE!
I would come to believe wholeheartedly that this was a type of gift! Yes this stroke is the hardest thing I would ever face!!! But I was alive! Given a gift that the majority of people on this planet don’t have! The chance to live two lives in this one! A second chance to learn not to take it all for granted!
In beginning part of me was so angry, suicidal, and felt ripped off but what I have learned since my stroke makes it all worth it! I should have a big sign on my forehead…….Under Major Reconstruction! I’m far from learning it all!
I would have to say and know with all my heart that if it was not for my incredible family and friends and their support I’d be in a much different place!
Tears of thankfulness run down my face! Go stroke survivors!
WE'RE NOT VICTIMS WE'RE SURVIVORS!
Never Give Up!
With allot of care!
You’re not alone stroke survivor there are 1,000’s of stroke survivors just like you around the world!
Aaron Avila

CYBER TERRORIST JUST HIJACKED THIS BLOG


Cyber terrorists just hijacked my new My Walk Of Destiny Blog! Please stand by as I freak out and as a stroke survivor I learn to repair!

FEELS LIKE MIRROR THERAPY TO MY BRAIN

As you may know I am a wheelchair bound stroke survivor since September 17th 2010.

So I go to the floor to stretch and meditate almost every day.
So I'm laying on my back intertwine my fingers and control my effected arm and visualize my my effected arm moving the same way as my non effected arm.

I slowly touch the top of my head and raise and lower down the center of my body.

I notice my brain is watching my effected side move in unison with my right.

Mmmm maybe something?

You try and let me know?

MY WALK OF DESTINY VACATION BLOG DAY 3




I have to say, this vacation is starting out awesome! 

Starting on Father's Day was a great idea!

I'm doing every year I'm gifted with life on this planet!

You know, I've noticed that stroke has physically seriously messed me up! But spiritually, mentally stroke has in turn saved my life!

More fulfilled as a person on this planet than I've ever been before!

A gratefulness for my life on this planet that is to the very core of who I am as a man!

A love and appreciation for my wife and son that I never thought possible!

Enlightened about the very truth of life and so so much more!

Could it be stroke survival was my destiny?

I say 100% yes!

Powerful love energy your way!

Aaron

A STROKE SURVIVORS TAKE ON THE CONFEDERATE FLAG ISSUE


I normally would not give you my stroke survivor view on political subjects, but what the hay, I'm on Vaca. 

There is a group of blind, ignorant people out there that stand on the non racial origin of the Confederate Flag.

True! But it's decades later and now (2016) the Confederate Flag means only one thing! Hate! Racial hate! Don't sit there and tell me how noble the flipping Confederate Flag is! I'm a stroke survivor not stupid! 

The Confederate Flag should have no place in our modern civilization!

Your friendly neighborhood stroke survivor,

Aaron 

MY WALK OF DESTINY VACATION BLOG 2 Day 2


Hi peeps!

Hope things are going awesome!

You  may not know, I created a worldwide movement on Facebook called Second Chance Stroke Survivors about 2 years ago.

Our hashtag #unitingtheworldthroughstrokesurvival 

If would like to read my story, send me an email at 2livesin1@gmail.com and I'd be honored to share it.

I have been given a God given gift of love for stroke survivors around the world. A love so deep it's at the core of who I am in this second chance at life on this planet.

I spend 1,00's of hours creating ways of helping and inspiring stroke survivors around the world. It's who I am now, in this second chance at life I've been given on this planet.

They were in a dark and lonely place before I was given this gift of love for them.

Now my passion is to help stroke survivors around the world and it causes me to spend untold hours on Facebook.

So come Father's Day last Sunday I'm on an unplugged from Facebook vacation until July 1st,

Spiritually and physically needed it!

Father's Day was off the hook awesome! Day 2 is going awesome! I'm loving it!

Now I'm a wheelchair bound 1/2 paralyzed stroke survivor with no finances, so needles to say it's been a staycation.

IT'S BEEN AMAZING! SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY!

I've started writing my book "My Walk Of Destiny"

I set this Blog up!

IT'S BEEN SO SO WORTH IT!

Powerful love energy being sent your way,

Aaron Avila
