It’s time for this passionate soon-to-be retired Hebrew teacher to head down a different creative path.
Which means shifting the focus of this blog somewhat to include:
-Poetry
-Book Reviews
-Music
-Stories and articles
-All about disability, or created by writers experiencing disability up close and personally.
Thank you for your inspiration 🙂
You are welcome. I’m happy to be connected with ou
Glad that you are going to be writing about disability Joan. I got your email last night, and not sure why you can’t subscribe to my site. Have you looked for the button marked “Follow”? I see you managed to “Like” at least one poem yesterday. Hope things start to work for you soon. Not sure that I can Subscribe you from my sude. Much love and hugs to you my friend. Xx
This is so interesting to me because I lost my sight 11 years ago. I am a retired professor of fine arts and humanities. Sight loss cannot take away my passion for life or for the things I love. I can see in your poems the same passion. It is refreshing, for me, to read your poems and envision them through my own blind-sighted experiences and challenges.
Disability is a topic I seldom discuss in my writing except for articles I write as a Peer Advisor for VisionAware ( on AFB’s website).
Thank you for commenting! I’ve learned blindness can add many complications to life, but it need not squash it entirely. Everything I was before I lost my eyesight at the age of 12–a lover of books and learning, a spiritual seeker, an enthusiast of music and poetry, a friend–
–I remain, through and through. And while I continue to wrestle with the term “disability”, blindness is a significant element of my life experience which often weaves itself into my writing.
Looking forward to your articles and posts of your new interests. I wish you all the very best. God Bless ❤
How sweet to find you here! Thank you for your kind words. Blessings to you.
