Hello…I’m Amy.

Thank you for stopping by!

Whether you chanced upon my website or purposely followed the link, I hope you’ll feel comfortable being here. The road of vision loss is tiring and difficult to navigate. Often, we can’t see beyond the bend. Or even around us. We. Need. Breathers.

Are you facing a real test? Do words like white cane, orientation, mobility, independence in living or rehab block your path? Does the word “blind” feel stifling? Maybe you’ve been doing well, but you’ve stumbled. Are you asking, “Why now?”

If so, you’re at the right place. I’ve been there. Tripping over fears. Slip-sliding on panic. Knocked on my behind by discouragement. But guess what? I met some people who understood the challenges. They gave me a hand up and showed me the tools to move forward.

I learned patience. Treated myself more kindly. When I regained humor, optimism followed. Best of all, I started training. Yes, I picked up a long white cane. I did it!

My stories might echo your own … I’m sure you’ll be able to relate. So take it easy and catch your breath. Join me on my journey. Together we’ll seek out the sunshine.

-Amy

In my blog, I share my personal insights about how to overcome losses and find joy every day.  Although I struggle with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a progressive hereditary vision condition that results in blindness, I focus on moving forward positively. I believe it’s important to lead an active and vibrant life so I run outside every day (except when Pennsylvania has 12 feet of snow) and I try various recipes in my cozy kitchen.  Life can be rewarding, and I’m determined to make it happen.
