First post in three years!
Well, I’m back. I know I’ve abandoned this page, but I realized lately that I have so much to say. So much has changed in my life and I’m ready to share what I’ve learned. This post will be short, but following posts will be longer and more detailed. I thought I had nothing to…

Don’t Give Up
Today is the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015. A lot of people take the beginning of a new year to implement change.

Being mobile again… getting my independence back
Prepare to be schooled… As I wrote in my previous post, I am taking control of my life and learning ways to become more independent. One of the things I knew I needed was a refresher course in O & M, which stands for orientation and mobility. I was very excited, and a little surprised,…

Turning my slump into a victory
Here we go… Why did I start a blog? because I have struggles, just like you — the person reading this. We are all imperfect, and maybe if I can share some part of my life, whether it is a struggle or encouragement, you and I will both know we are not alone. A few…
