Tale of a Book Review

Hi, it's Trevor here again. Sorry we have been absent for a while, but Brenda
has been real busy and also has not been feeling that great. She is doing better
now, so were are going to be doing something different this time. We are going
to be sharing a book review.


Brenda just read a wonderful book titled: "Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior
and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him," by Fmr. Army Capt. Luis Carlos Montalvan.


Now any story about a golden, you know I would be all ready to read, if I could. BOL
Brenda told me all about this wonderful bond between Tuesday and a wonderful man
named Luis.


I have heard of service dogs before, and how they really can change the lives of people,
who are struggling, as Luis definitely was. He had come back from Iraq, where he had
sustained a spinal cord injury and also a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Just for our readers
here, it just happens to be National Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month, so this is
pretty cool to be sharing this review with you.


Anyway, until Luis connected with this wonderful golden named Tuesday, his life did
spiral into darkness.


Tuesday was also experiencing some traumas of his own. That is why this match was
so very special. They really did heal each other.


I love how Luis takes such good care of Tuesday. They are two gentle souls who
found each other, when they needed to.




I hear that a Kleenex is needed, while reading this wonderful book. I saw Brenda sobbing
a time or two, while reading.


She could relate to so much, because as you know, she is a brain tumor survivor and there
are certain things that bother her too. She felt a real connection to this author and yes, she
even wrote him, as well as put a book review on Amazon.com.


This is simply a story of a wonderful bond between two lost souls who found each other,
when the time was right.


Five Barks!


This is Trevor, The Tell Tale Dog, until next time reminding you, to reach for the stars.

Tale of a Vaccine; Part Two and a Little More... BOL

Hello, it's Trevor here with our February tale. Did you realize that today 10 years ago, Brenda's Brainstorm added a new addition? I became storyteller for this blog. It was first; Featuring Trevor's Tales, then it was changed to Trevor the Tell Tale Dog and now it's Brenda's Brainstorm & Trevor. I'm now known as T Man, with my own production company. BOL  Seriously folks, Brenda has allowed me to enjoy quite a plush lifestyle. Get it? BOL Not only am I her storyteller for our monthly blog posts, I was featured twice in her first published blog posts with CreakyJoints back in 2012. I became a mascot for some special JA kids. I've been mentioned over the airwaves by our good friend; Rick Franzo. He thought I was real. Even called me a trickster. BOL Can you imagine that? I was even mentioned in the first book that Brenda coauthored in 2016. We are not going to get into details here, as most of our readers know the background.  We are spending a quiet day ...

A Farewell Tale...

Image
Here we are at the end of this journey. It's been almost 13 years to the day, since Brenda started blogging. It was on a Friday morning June 26, 2009. She had been thinking about starting a blog, something she really had no idea how to do. She needed a name that would be catchy and while in the shower that morning, Brenda's Brainstorm (An Inspiration Out of the Blue) came to mind. She later sat down behind her keyboard and composed her first blog post. In October of that same year, this blog was moved to BlogSpot, as the group site where she was presently blogging, was going to be disbanded. A season with that group was coming to an end, much like this one.  For those who may not know who has been sharing this tale so far, I'm Trevor, who has gone by so many titles. First was Trevor, the Tell Tale Dog or Trevor's Tales, kind of the same. BOL That stands for Bark Out Loud. We know our friend Seth the co-founder and president of CreakyJoints loves this. We had to do this ...

A Tale of Education...

Image
Hello my fellow readers! It's Trevor here, with our October tale. By now, most of you are back to school or at least performing with distance learning, which is a new concept, during this time of navigating during a pandemic. For that reason, we ask that you consider this blog post, our back to school addition. BOL It's going to be covering education.  This all started when Brenda read an article that considered rheumatoid arthritis, a lesser known type. Are you kidding me, was her response. Brenda is quite passionate, when it comes to terminology, because as an advocate, she feels it is her responsibility to get the word out there, if it is not correct in any way, shape or form. That is who Brenda is. Allow her to be your teacher for this post, with my help of course. BOL First of all regarding rheumatoid arthritis. You have to know first, that there are at least 100 different types. Osteoarthritis is #1 and Rheumatoid Arthritis is #2. I hardly would consider that a lesser kno...
