“I Believe” -the Blind wway

My dog Tasha is a 9 pound Pom.  She came to me almost 5 years ago.  When Cozmic Joe brought her to me, she was 1 pound 4 oz.  She went everywhere with me.  At about 9 months we started to walk every day. A small walk (Little feets..) just up and down the small street I live on.

2 years to the day I got her, as we went on a walk, a man opened his gate to get his garbage can and his german shepard ran out, got Tasha in his mouth, Read more »

Have done to help the blind - me

In the beginning, I took a hand held magnifier to work. It was okay. Eventually, I took a larger, more powerful light to work. The boss laughed, but I found him using it sometimes. I also used a scan pen. It would scan a line and then read it back.

I got audio books from the library. It didn’t matter who wrote them, or what about, I listened to anything they had. I recognized pictures. I have an account with the Braille who sends me audio books by any author, subject, series I request. Read more »

I Dont “look” Blind, what ever that means

I don’t wear dark glasses. I don’t carry the standard Braille Tap cane, I don’t have a dog. (Well i do, but Tasha, my 9 pound Pomeranian, would only lead me to food.). So when people hear me say I am blind, they respond, “You don’t look blind”.

They see me at the gym (circuit training), at the mall, the local stores, walking, riding my bike (that took a year) and doing these by myself. I do wear a Braille ID tag around my neck, I always wear a visor (blocks the sunlight) and I do carry a BIG stick, painted whtie with a red tip. I may be slow, but I will not stop.

I dont act blind either. I am probablly skipping ahead, but it ready to be said. Read more »
