I want people to know that the challenge of having epilepsy is not always the neurological disorder. The way an individual is viewed by others after being diagnosed can be detrimental through ignorance or positive through knowledge and support.
YES!!! PEDAL 4 PURPLE IS NOW A 'VOICE IN THE VILLAGE"
Please allow me to introduce the newest "Voice In The Village for Epilepsy Awareness." Let's hear it for Mickey Naschke, founder of Pedal 4 Purple! Welcome Mickey! You helping us achieve:
"Victory Over Epilepsy: One Voice, One Village at a Time"
"The storyline of this book is so realistic. I never understood the issues that a person with epilepsy faces on a daily basis until I read this novel. The author places the reader in a mind state that causes him/her to consider how they view people with disabilities or conditions. I strongly recommend this book to anyone living with epilepsy or any condition that others may look upon in a discriminatory way. It's a good read for all ages. A definite family-themed book."
A VIDEO TO OPEN THE EYES OF OTHERS WHEN FACED WITH EPILEPSY IN THE OFFICE
The video, The Village: "Epilepsy In The Office" was created show the challenges that an individual who has epilepsy can face if a seizure takes place on the job.
Many times when a seizure takes place on the job, the individual with the condition of epilepsy is viewed differently that the person who may have another condition. Why? Well the only answer that I feel that there is falls inline with the fact that there is a "lack of knowledge" of epilepsy in society.
Please view my video created by Mr. Bill Morrise and please share it with others. Everyone deserves the opportunity to prove themselves in the work place. An individual's evaluation should be based on "Attendance and Performance." People all over the world face challenges like the one seen in this video. The dream of people with epilepsy is to have a response like the one in this video from their employer if epilepsy ever becomes a issue! In this video there is:
"Victory Over Epilepsy: One Voice, One Village at a Time"

Welcome Jerry and Lisa to The Village! Together, we will make a difference in the lives of many people all over the world!
THERE IS ANOTHER "VOICE IN THE VILLAGE" FOR EPILEPSY
I want to say "Thank You" to Beverly Peterson for allowing me to post her picture and comments about my book, "The Village" and Epilepsy Education. Beverly viewed my latest video about my book and Epilepsy in the job world. Beverly, you are becoming a "Voice In The Village!"
Thank You Beverly, ... Lowell G. Evans Author of: "The Village"
Beverly says:
Thank you! It is about time someone understand. Our dilemma is when it comes to how we feel being alone in our disease of Epilepsy. At the work place or anywhere else. When it happens for me, it can be humiliating sometimes when I don't know which kind of Seizure I might have. Being Status A Epilepticus, I miss fire in different spots. That is why they put the VNS Implant in the first place in 2006, no medications could stop them.
Thank you again for writing the book on the Villages I will get it and read it.
Beverly Peterson
