A few months ago I submitted an article to the Blind New World website, based in Massachusetts in the USA. Basically, I wrote the article, sent it to them and forgot about it.
So you can imagine my surprise when I learned that the article had been published.
Not only was I delighted that my article had made the grade, but it’s led to me making a new friend. A fellow blind writer in Milwaukee read the article and was moved to contact me. Since then Carla and I have been chatting via email and, shortly before Christmas, via phone.
Never underestimate the impact your words and experiences may have on those who read them – and thank you, Carla for reminding me of this all-important lesson!
Here’s the link to my article:
