Stuck with a Sighted Person
I looked at my blog statistics the other day and one of the top searches where my blog comes up is “Stuck With a Blind Man”. I had to laugh. Sorry sighted woman. I thought it was harsh. Then I thought about it. I’ve often felt stuck with a sighted person in relationships. In my […]

Dating a Disabled Person / Dating a Blind Man
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 […]
Arogant Human Ignorance
A core part of the human experience is; we don’t know what we don’t know. It’s like the young child who covers their eye’s and thinks they are invisible.

Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better!!!
I regularly receive the comment, “I didn’t know you were blind!” I am what they call “high functioning”, which has always pissed me off. High functioning is a fancy way of saying I’m not blind, or I’m not blind enough. Lets stick purely with the facts, I am blind; yes I still have some […]

Realizing My Potential
Have you ever noticed how, depending on you take on things, God or the universe chooses to talk to us? Have you ever noticed how often we are given messages? There are countless songs poems stories etc about how we are spoken to. The subtle the sublime and sometimes the sledgehammer on our stubborn heads, […]
Cone of Silence
I’ve talked to a number of people recently and I’m shocked. I have been ignorant and naive. People with any disability, visible or not, disease, affliction whatever feel like they are not allowed to talk about their condition. I’ve been told by many not for profit organizations that their donors demand to be anonymous. The […]
