I’ve come to realise that I’m blind and I use a white cane and my eyes cross and I don’t see as well as others. My life partner will need to accept my blindness from the first moment we meet. I used to hide it and pretend I wasn’t blind, though that’s pretty hard to […]

The Starfish Story

We know there are many people in this world doing great and admirable acts of humanity to change the current world situation. Is this really possible? It can sometimes seem quite a hopeless pursuit (if the doomsayers and negative souls on Social Media have the authoritative word). This is a story that you have probably […]
The Gifts That Parents Give Us

We might bitch about our parents being awful and judge them to be less-than-average as parents and think, “they could’ve done better” and treat them according to all those defamatory factors. That will only keep barriers in place that prevents a great and honest relationship from developing with the people who have the richest gifts […]

Boredom Is A Figment Of Your Imagination

I’ve always been a day-dreamer. By journaling or writing down my ideas, I’ve been able to create and manifest amazing ideas. My youngest son Josh used his incredibly amazing imagination to daydream constantly. Putting him in a corner in “time-out” was not a punishment for him as he would use this time to create stories […]
Everyone has a different normal

Ever heard someone say they feel normal? Or perhaps you’ve heard that everything is normal. What is normal to someone else, may not be your version of normal. We all have a different perspective on what normal is for us alone. Yet, we expect that others will (or should) have the same idea on that […]
Celebrating differences

I love different. I love being different. I love the differences in others. I love different objects. I love the differences in objects and things. I love that which is like me. I love different. Share
