My last ARTalk podcast was back in June - right before I embarked on a 5-week vacation to the American Southwest. However, when I was at the half-way point, I had an auto accident which stopped me dead in my tracks. In fact, the accident shook me so much that I stopped doing everything. While I was not physically injured, looking back I think the accident sent me into a grief spirial. It's taken me this long to put everything into perspective and begin to move forward. In this special "The Great Pause" episode of ARTalk with John Cole Artist, I'll speak to the first half of my vacation and how I'm now recovering from the damage a "simple" accident can have. I look forward to sharing my story with you.
