An important change for me: Big decisions

In early March, 2020, I announced on Facebook that I had decided to step away from being an active advocate.  Surprisingly enough, the decision was a lot easier than I had anticipated and I guess that it all had to do with me

realizing that it was time to go.

As former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said, "There is never a good time or good place,” but this time it was for me. As a matter of fact, it was the image of his famous walk in a roaring blizzard on February 29,

1984, that egged me on to make my momentous decision.

I have decided to only work on very few projects and this will free up more time for me to pursue other things: chess, pottery, and knitting among them. I look forward to happy times ahead.

Just my thoughts: Advocating for a better way

There is always a better way to do things and in this light I will humbly submit that there is always a better way to advocate.

No complaining or criticizing, or if it is to be so then let's do it in a professional and respectful way.

More collaborating and committing.  More engaging and less ripping each other apart.  Can this work?  I do think so but it is going to take a mammoth effort from everyone involved.

Pushing Beyond the Blue Horizon

For me, it has always been a matter of pushing the envelope that little much further or maybe I should say that it is pushing beyond the blue horizon.  I don't think that if I were sighted I would be any different.  To me, it's a matter of doing things that would encourage others like me to get up and reach for the stars.  I feel that it is my obligation to help other blind persons to maximize their potential; to reach for the sky, to enjoy as much as they can in a world where most sighted people still have difficulty understanding and believing that blind persons can do certain things despite their lack of sight. 

 

I have learned to ice skate and it has become one of my passions.  I have learned to ski and I intend to enjoy it as much as I can.  I enjoy the outdoors, and I also push the envelope when it comes to challenging my government to make their websites accessible to all blind persons.  This is why I am presently suing the Canadian Government over inaccessible websites and unequal access to governmental information. 

 

Sometimes, I do things that take me out of my comfort's zone but you know what?  My objective is always to do something that has the potential to make things better for Blind Canadians first and foremost and then other blind persons elsewhere.  Whatever I do, I always do my best to ensure that it is done professionally, and in a manner that will help the mainstream world to become believers and followers.
