A Tale of Glitter & Gold...

Hello my fellow readers! It's Trevor with another tale. This one is going to be all about glitter and gold. Brenda celebrated her 60th birthday on January 9th and designated this year, to be one of her best yet.

Later on this year, she is going on a mini trip that will include seeing one of her favorite singers in concert for the 2nd time; Sir Elton John. Her ticket was actually a birthday present to herself. She is going with a long time friend, who loves rock concerts, as much as Brenda.

Brenda has been been slowly getting items that she will need. As you may know, when you attend concerts, you can no longer carry those big and heavy handbags, so Brenda found the perfect one for the occasion. Glitter was the ticket, as after all, it is Elton John we are talking about. Splash a rainbow wallet to go along with this ensemble, and Brenda is ready to party.

Brenda will also be sporting her Elton John "ME" t-shirt which is actually the photo on the cover of his new autobiography. She received a neat key chain, which Brenda revised and turned into a necklace, as she had a chain hanging around. Funny how that works. BOL Anyway, she showed it to her friend the other day, and she loved it.

Like I said, this will be a mini vacation for Brenda. It's a road trip, as she can no longer travel on airplanes, due to her vertigo issues and traveling alone is no longer an option. Her sense of direction has become much worse, since her acquired brain injury. We are not going to dwell on that.

Brenda is also glad this event will be when the weather will be much nicer and no snow to contend with.

We will be sharing photos at the end of this tale.

Music has always been an escape and comfort for Brenda, when times get tough. They haven't been that easy lately. Believe me, you have no idea what she goes through on a daily basis and you would not want to.

Brenda believes that remaining positive and hoping for the best outcome, is the way to approach life. Nothing is easy, but remaining hopeful, can certainly help to turn things around.

Until next time, T Man Barking Off.

Update on this blog post: The concert ended up being postponed until March 19, 2022, due to a worldwide pandemic.

      Thanks Renee! It's a few months away, but better to be prepared and not be able to find anything at the last minute.

      Oh I love Elton John. Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is my favorite Elton John song. I saw him a few years back and it was so good. You will love it .

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...

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...

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...
