When the smell of coffee saved me

Let's just say that, indeed!, the smell of coffee saved me that day. You see, I was wiping down my kitchen table after breakfast and it is a good thing that I was sufficiently alert and awake that morning.

As I wiped around the table with my damp cloth, I smelled the sweet fragrance of coffee and something told me to stop for a moment and feel around on the table and lo and behold! There it was! My half full cup of morning coffee.

It was not too close to the edge of the table but chances are more than good that had I not paid attention to the smell of coffee, I would surely have knocked it off the table, and then? A whole new chore for me to deal with: cleaning up a cup of spilled coffee and making sure that I got all of the liquid on the floor.

I guess that as a blind person, I need to make sure that I remember where I put things at all times. A difficult task you may be saying? Yes, but I need to do my best.

This is a personal message from author Donna Jodhan
"Each time we raise our voice at someone else we are engaging in bullying! Each time we raise our hands to slap or punch someone else we are also engaging in bullying and each time we engage in actions to either manipulate or force someone else to do what we want we are also engaging in bullying!

There is no room in this world for bullying and each day we fail to take action against bullying it is another day that we allow others to bully us and our kids. Our heroes and role models are the ones who have made us proud; those brave young men and women who gave their lives for us in past wars and those who continue to do so. They are not the ones who choose to be racists and those who believe that their bad behaviour in public is acceptable.

I write and record audio mysteries that are being used at such events as murder mystery evenings as well as at public awareness and team building events. I promote understanding, tolerance, and problem solving and my audio mysteries continue to be broadcasted around the world and you can listen to them anywhere! On the plane or train! In the car or right there in your home! On your i device or computer!

Please join my campaign against bullying (CAB) by supporting my efforts to keep on writing and recording!
If you truly care then you will certainly dare!"
