Meet Barb Frye and be inspired. Barb is speaking Tuesday October 29th at 11 am as part of The Wise, Wonderful, Women Lecture and Luncheon Series sponsored by the Thursday Morning Club of Madison.
As an 18-year-old entering college at Kent State University, Barb seemed to be living the perfect American teenage life. In one night, everything changed when she made the decision to get into a car with a friend after drinking alcohol. Barb’s friend walked away with a crashed car and in trouble with the law, while Barb suffered a broken neck leaving her paralyzed from the shoulders down, never to walk again.
Today, some 40 years later, she is a mother, public speaker, Mental Health Therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling, author of “STOP WISHING FOR THE LIFE YOU DON’T HAVE AND START LIVING THE LIFE YOU DO”, and a woman of strength and courage.

Barb Frye will be speaking on the subject of “Gratitude”. In conversation with her, she said, “The consequences of the choices you make in life can change your life in a blink of an eye. How we respond to the consequences is up to you. I could have chosen to stay angry and bitter, to be stuck in ‘why me?’ Accepting my role in the choice I made was the first step to handling the consequences.” She asked herself, “how do I want to live my life moving forward?”
The public is invited to share this journey with Barb on Tuesday, October 29th, 11 am at the Madison Community House, 25 Cook Ave., Madison, NJ. A luncheon will follow.
