She says that playing virtual gofl, bowling, and tennis on the Wii a allows her to mimic the real world moves which have been helping her boost her spirits as well as her overall well-being.

“My life is coming back. It’s not about loss. It’s about setting aside what I was and evolving into an even better person … This has been a cornerstone,” said Zamora.

Zamora, spent several years working in the advertising field and says that the games help her visualize her new life after her “year of fear.”

How can the Xbox 360 and Playstaion 3 compete with that? What an overall nice story.

Digg!
