Brain Injury Radio

Joy Bartling was raised on a small town dairy farm. In 2006 she founded Scatter Joy Acres (SJA) in Omaha, to provide a new home, new life, and new meaning by rescuing abused or neglected animals. Later the ranch was relocated to 15 acres inside the city limits of Omaha. Bartling's first loves were the animals who became her closest childhood friends and confidants when she felt she had no one else to turn to during a painful part of her journey to adulthood. Understanding that there are often deep pains in life and the many times that human beings were not able to touch them, she realized she was not alone. At the ranch, the animals serve as an integral part of the on-going mission of providing therapeutic interaction for developmentally disabled and autistic children, seniors, veterans, and at-risk children. Joy embraced her passionate gift in life which also would be a significant way to give back to the community. ?Scatter Joy Acres? was created to scatter God's joy across all of his acres. On the ranch each animal has a name, a story and a significance, which is demonstrated in warmth and love they share with every person they encounter. The interactions animals share as they meet with people are simply amazing. Programs or donations see: scatterjoyacres.org This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed! This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers, which takes a good bit of Warrior! Hosted by Kim Justus - See inaflash.org

You can even call in and talk to us during the interview! If you miss the program, you can access it anytime on the Brain Injury Radio Network in our archives. This program is about how a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis can change your life. It's FOR anyone with a chronic condition or those interested in learning more about MS, Brain Injury, Lupus, Cancer, Stroke, Migraine, Lyme, and other health issues. MS is one of the most debilitating neurological diseases. IT CHANGED MY LIFE when I discovered that I was diagnosed with it. Our show tonight will be about a NEW stage of life that Susan and I are both experiencing: Middle Age! While most people's mid-life cycles are filled with work and children, that does not happen for all people with disabilities. In fact, Susan and I have had to deal with the usual grief and loss that most middle-aged people have to deal with -- watching their parents and friends age, but how should someone with compromised health deal with all of this? Especially when stress can make MS flair up a real problem. MS doesn't care if the stress you are dealing with is something that you HAVE to go through or not. I'd love it if YOU joined our discussion!
