Plunking away on a blog its hard to imagine the impact you have on your audiences. Getting formal recognition as the best “visually impaired” blog from another internet property is fantastic.

Im not sure I’m a fan. I’ve had my misgivings, human relationships in life for are for a : reason, season, lifetime. Relationships have a lifecycle with an ending, unfortunately.

Enlightened

I never thought I’d have to spend so much time writing about dating. My experiences are well documented in other parts of the blog. I’m happy with some of the blog posts and unhappy with others, regardless there are many lessons learned that I will attempt to share. If you are a disabled person reading […]
