if you are visually impaired, there are 3, what I like to call, survival tips. You have to listen cuz they may not be what you'd expect!

these things could only happen to me while being left on supervised for 4 days. enjoy the stories!

it seems no matter where I go,there is always ridiculous people who have no regard for others. I know you see it too, so enjoy this episode!

I was asked what, if any, were the differences I've noticed living in Florida as opposed to when I lived in Arizona. In this episode, I begin to answer that question...and so much more!

Regardless if you are able-bodied or disabled, we all have a choice on how we behave. Take a listen and see why I urge you to choose wisely.

Most people think they become independent at a certain age, like 18; or, when they get married, or their first job. But, I propose that independence is not a one and done type of thing, but it happens on a grade. Check out today's episode and see if you agree.

Once you learn to be able to laugh at yourself instead of feeling foolish, awkward moments become much more entertaining. Check out today's episode to see what I mean!

We are all going to be wrong in life, and we can choose to do that with dignity and accept the fact that we were wrong; or, we can make things worse. Take a listen to hear what I mean!

In this episode, I am talking about using all of our senses to navigate our lives. Sighted people tend to rely solely on their sight, but that doesn't always work out. Curious? Hit PLAY!

I learned a few do's and don'ts I'd like to share with y'all about moving across the country blindly. If you don't see what I did there, listen to the episode and you will!

In this, final Arizona episode, I hope the stories will make you smile and the encouragement will be a blessing.

A small bit of insight into the daily living of a person that is visually impaired. You may see things differently after this episode.

Today I am talking about the heightened senses of visually impaired people. Included in that topic, there are lessons to be learned, hopefully I can clear up some misconceptions about the heightened senses.

Life is a roller coaster, so get on and ride! Let this episode encourage you to be happy where you are in life - circumstances can always change.

In honor of Blindness Awareness Month, I've put together some stories that show just how much more awareness needs to happen.

It is so irritating when people complain about driving. Put on your big-kid underpants and check out what public transportation has to offer.

After discussing service dogs in businesses for a couple weeks, I decided to follow that up with service dogs and transportation. The next two episodes will be informative and entertaining, so enjoy!

After talking about the many incidents I have had with non-service dogs in the grocery store I thought I'd do some looking into specific sores' policies. You might be surprised at what I learned, so check it out!

Guess what? Another incident at the grocery store with someone's pet. In today's and next weeks episodes, I'm taking a different approach. Get your friends and check it out!

Today I'm finishing up my discussion on how healthcare providers should treat blind/visually impaired patients. In this episode I will be focusing on Guide Dog users who have to stay in the hospital. I will include specific examples from John's Hopkins Hospitals.

I don't know why, but it seems the health care community has forgotten that blind/visually impaired patients have the same right to privacy and quality care as everyone else. In the next two episodes I'll be talking a lot about this so get everyone you know in the medical field to listen!

Being visually impaired, we may not be able to control what we see. But we can control how we see things with what we have. Check out what I mean.

Had a great trip up to WA to visit family, so I thought I'd share some of the stories.

In my opinion, a key component of self-confidence is having the ability to laugh at yourself. I hope these stories will help you gain some confidence in your disability. Well, it works for everyone really so share it with your friends!

Almost every day there's something new that makes for a great story! I hope you enjoy this episode, which lets you walk through a day of life with me.
