I’m a Tweener
I’ve always struggled with reading and writing. It wasn’t until the 2nd grade that I actually became proficient reading, and it wasn’t until much later that I realized that I don’t see words by the letters that make them up. I see words by their shape. It was always weird why I had so much […]
Our Social Context, Cultural Interactions
The fun bit. My personal perversion is my ability to see the spacial, abstract in different constructs and contexts. I was in a job interview the other day and I told the interviewer I get paid to: think, provide energy, facilitate, and communicate. Effectively I get paid for the things that I do to manage […]
Can’t Quit
I’m still scared. The economic downturn has been brutal on me personally. My personal portfolio is a disaster and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. I am still haunted by precision fit, where you had to be the best of the best of the best Sir, and be the perfect cultural fit for […]
Anxious
Fear is such a profoundly negative force almost as powerful as death. I was having some energy and pace issues, way too much life. I was worried about my kids after the fire they had in which they lost everything. I worked with my daughter to help them get back on their feet and get […]
Best Visual Impairment Blog 2010
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. No one contacted me to let me know and I don’t recognize the organization but I’ll take the badge. When I worked on the […]
UnMasked, Life Isn’t Faire
A most perceptive fellow at work unmasked me. My colleague was perceptive enough to realize that in the context of work he had the disadvantage and I had the advantage. My colleague’s comment was “life isn’t fair”. I asked him what he meant. He continued with “I can’t compete with you”. He had my curiosity […]
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. If there wasn’t loss or pain in relationships how would we know when we had a good thing and work to keep it. If loss […]
Enlightened
It’s an easy thing to say, “in this day and age you’d think that blah blah blah wouldn’t happen”, or “We are so enlightened this should never happen”. In my experience this isn’t a statement of support but a statement of ridicule. Where does morality come from. Where do our values come from. It’s interesting […]
Prioirty Seating
As you’ve read and heard me bitching and moaning its been hard for me coming back to Canada from the United State, the US is really the world leader in disability awareness. I’ve noticed that my experience personally varies significantly geographically with my more positive experiences happening in Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver and my worst […]
Love is a very Fickle Pickle
I’ve struggled over the years with “who would ever want me”. The movie “The Horse Whisperer” did the best job I’ve ever seen of showing the emotions and feelings I have struggled with about feeling lovable. Self value has been difficult for me. Why would a really cool person want me…. Love is a Very […]
