The unexplained confusion. The garbled words that came out to her obvious frustration. Stroke. The word swirled around in the media circus that followed her. She wasn't allowed to have her physical breakdown in private. She had it on TV, then it was on YouTube.  Read more >

I noticed him squatting by the entryway of the library. I noticed his filthy clothes and his dirt-crusted skin. I noticed the smell that tells me he hasn’t seen the wet side of a bar of soap in a very long time. I noticed him noticing us…my children with their school uniforms and shiny smiles…the brightness of their youth and the warmth of their vitality. I noticed his arm reach up as we drew closer.

About Me: 

Anissa Mayhew, 36, was a wild game hunter in the wilds of the jungle.  When she got bored she became an international spy. Then to top it all she became the mom of three, a wife and started writing. Then things got really exciting when Anissa had two strokes, went into a coma and ended up in a wheelchair last year.  She’s been writing about her fight to recover, her love of coffee, and finds her reasons to still laugh. Anissa shares her fantastic wisdom on Twitter at @AnissaMayhew, like how many times you can lick Ryan Reynolds on your tv before you get electrocuted.
