Post #208
\nOctober 26, 2018<\/p>\n

Walking by Inner Vision \u2013 My first blog post was published December 29, 2009.
\n(Note: Edited, Updated & Revised October 26, 2018)<\/p>\n

Walking by Inner Vision<\/strong><\/em>, is where I will discuss issues of sight loss and blindness as I experience them. My life as an artist and author, changed forever nearly 2 years ago, October, 2007. I revisited my first blog post for Walking by Inner Vision<\/b>Inner Vision. This BLOG is a CELEBRATION of LIFE – <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lynda_Studio_Sept04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps, you may not realize that I am passionate about everything that I loved BEFORE sight loss.
\nIs this a surprise to you?<\/p>\n

I’m still…
\nCrazy about VISUAL ART.
\nWild about POETRY.
\nOver-the-Moon for literature.
\nMy mind takes flight and I SOAR with Philosophy.
\nI dig history. Real history that traces an idea back to it\u2019s origins.
\nI ask, \u201cWhere did this IDEA come from?”
\nI DANCE to MUSIC and I SING ALONG. LOUD!<\/p>\n

Nothing is more delightful to me as traveling and meeting new people.
\nI PLAN to meet a LOT of NEW people here on my BLOG.<\/p>\n

I DISCOVERED that I CHERISH the stories of others who have vision loss and learned how they do things and how they now see the world. I will share my WORLD VIEW and my VISION through this blog. Will you share yours with me, too? I am looking forward to that.<\/p>\n

I am always open to hearing from others. You may have sight loss, or you may have a friend of family member who has sight loss.<\/p>\n

Let’s SHARE the HAPPINESS.<\/p>\n
