Every year on the Fourth of July, we here in the United States celebrate Independence Day. While you might not be celebrating this if you live in another country, the idea of independence is very important. But, what does it look like to live an independent life if you are visually impaired? Today, I want to talk about some of the stereotypes of this and what a healthy version might look like. Enjoy!

After losing your sight, you will most likely go through a phase where you will have to relearn to do things you have always done. However, you'll have to do them in new ways. An article I read the other day got me thinking about this and how much it is like when we learn how to do things as a child. Now, I'm not saying blind people are like little kids, but there are some similarities. So, join me today as we look at them and see how it actually isn't such a bad thing. Enjoy!

We've all been there. There is something we want to do, know or gain information about and our lack of vision blocks us. This situation is deemed "inaccessible" and it gets to be very frustrating. So, using a recent experience from my own life, I want to share the stages that many of us go through when we face something like this. While you might hit everyone of these stages, it is a good reminder that we all face them from time to time and we are not alone! Plus, I've got a great Tech Tip for all you iOS and VoiceOver users! Enjoy!

Over these last 15 plus years, I have learned a lot of things when it comes to being visually impaired. And, at this point, they are pretty obvious to me. But, not everyone has this information. So, today, I want to talk about a few tings I know that not everyone does. Plus, a great question about using a white cane and a Tech Tip if you are a Mac user!
