My little red tether is my anchor in running with my friends. A beautiful guide dog has been my tether/anchor in mobility and independence for 17 years: 1. Pantera 2. Cricket, and now my beautiful 3. Georgina (Georgie). A life of family and friends is my joy and anchor in life.

The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. CC Scott

Making a difference

I am leaving for the office inspired my good friend, Melissa .  She is not only an advocate and example for others who are experiencing vision loss but also an example of the value of our voice -- making a difference.  Love her!   Please take a minute (well four minutes) to watch/listen to: Melissa's story

The English translation is here
After watching the clip, I invite you to put yourself in her shoes ... what would you do?  I am inspired by her ability to make a difference in such a positive way.  She is an example of the ability we each have to channel a difficult experience into positive.  I know that her tireless efforts of the past few months have already made such a positive impact to many!    

 Theresa, Melissa, Sam and our guides at the GDB Holiday Luncheon.

With Love, on

Thanks for this post, Becky. Not only did it introduce me to Melissa, but it also introduced me to “Google Translate” – I’ve never used Google Translate before, and loved reading the translation from Swedish, especially the way the translated article refers to us as “service dog drivers.” Fantastic!
