Should I Tell Them I Am Blind?

This question has been coming to mind lately simply because of some discrimination I have been receiving. I was on the Warrior Forum which is found at www.warriorforum.com, and I had asked for ways to get more clientele for my web business. Well, it came out that I was blind because I had no shame in telling them. I thought it would be an incredible thing to share. However, things backfired in my face. It all started like this:

1. I started the thread asking for help getting clientele. Most were very nice and helpful. Then, there was one guy who told me that point blank, “Blind people can’t be web designers because it is a visual business.” Trying not to lose my mind, I politely posted back to him that they could and I was living proof. It is hard: but, it can be done if the blind person doing the job knows how to properly utilize assistive technology and has knowledge of how the computer works. And, I'm talking more than just basic knowledge that everyone has. You not only need to know the ins and outs of the computer: but, you need to learn to utilize other software along with a knowledge of html coding.
2. Then, because days leading up to this, people were asking many questions, I decided to start a thread titled, “How Can A Blind Person …” This meant that forum members could ask any questions they wanted. While people asked many questions, I was rudely bashed by a lady in the forum who had a chip on her shoulder. She not only said I could not master the visual aspect of things: but, she heaped insults at me. I then, asked her to stop and told her I would not continue this discussion. Others came to my defense, the thread was locked meaning that nobody could reply or make new posts, and shortly after—two days later—I was deleted from the forum.


So, I thought I’d share this story with you all to raise an important question. Should they know I’m blind? That’s a hard one but here goes what I think.

It would all have to depend on what industry you are in. Sure it is okay to share that you are a blind person doing this work which would in turn make people think you are remarkable. But, there are times I don’t even mention it. For example, I may send press release articles to certain web sites promoting my business. Surely the media will promote that and people will think it is beyond belief that a blind person is doing all of this. Though we blind people know it is not remarkable to have independence, freedom, and a business: but, we have to use other’s ignorance to our advantage. If people want to believe we are so remarkable, then let them. That will give the blind business owner the free publicity needed for business promotion and the fuel needed for company survival.

However, when I am talking to one of my customers, especially in my web designing business, I do not tell them I am blind unless they inquire about it. I'll let my work speak for me: then, after they see what I can do, I'll tell them after the job is done. But, telling them up front will not only have them box you in: but, they will have a wrong judgmental view of you or of what you can do. Why? Simply because you are blind.

I use the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” rule. What they don’t ask for should not be revealed thus saving you much discrimination. However, when you have gained much credibility, tell the world about your blindness. But starting out new, especially if you are in the web designing industry, say nothing unless asked. Many people, and I am finding out this myself, will not want a blindnperson to design their site. So, keep in mind that loose lips sank ships, and just be natural. That is helping me.

Then, you may ask yourself how to hide it. First of all, if you utilize jaws, turn your computer all the way down or wear head phones. If you are reading slowly because you have to listen to jaws a few worlds at a time. Let the customer know you are taking a careful look at things. That isn’t a lie, you really are! But, if they hearsomething in the background—your speech software that is—tell them. There is no point in lying because now, they have asked and you should tell. See the point?

I truly hope this has helped out. This is just something to think about. Please post your comments or opinions. All are welcome. You can even if you don’t have a blog account with Blog Spot. Just post as anonymous. Selection that option and you can post a comment if you'd like.

This may be the MOST IMPORTANT website you ever find.

Up to this point, in your heart you know you haven't even come close to experiencing the health and wellness you are capable of and truly deserve. And none
of us can feel our lives are whole until we have completely sorted this out.

Life is busy and full of distractions, so if you don't want to change your life now, I understand. However, by the time you finish reading this page you
will find yourself thinking some profound thoughts that you perhaps haven't allowed yourself to think in many, many years. If this is something that might
interest you, then make a commitment to yourself to just stop and relax for 10 minutes while you read this page.

I'm going to ask you to remember a time when you were absolutely healthy and happy. You had abundant energy and when you looked around at the wonder and
beauty of nature, you were grateful and appreciative simply because you were alive. Sadly, for most people, feelings such as those are just a memory. But
not for you. Not anymore. You have the power to make it your reality...TODAY.

So, I URGE you to go to http://www.getsowealthy.com/.

Don’t you think you deserve to experience the type of physical and financial wellness you REALLY want EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE?

The time has come for you to join the 3% with the knowledge to take control of their lives. You probably know all about the 3% who took the time to learn as
much as they could and are now living the lives they dream of, while the remaining 97% live in ignorant bliss continuously doing the same old things that never work but are part of the problem little do they know. There are only 8 seats in first class. Where
would you rather sit?

URGENTLY go here: http://www.getsowealthy.com/

What you're getting here is the power to take control of your own physical and financial wellness for the rest of your life!

The attitude of most people out there is to keep doing the same old thing until there is a problem, then to look for a cure. Like a car with the oil light
showing, people simply cut the wire and ignore the problem until the engine blows up.

You already know that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," so why aren't you doing it? Or perhaps you THINK you already are? I know I was.

Before I changed my approach to wellness, this was my life. Maybe you can relate to some of these points yourself.
list of 8 items
Constantly waking up exhausted and/or hungover.
Speed eating a nutritionally dead lunch.
Nodding off at work at 2pm praying for 8 o'clock. (Recruiting ain't 9-5...)
Crawling through traffic on public transportation after yet another diet soda.
Arriving home after an 11 hour day that felt more like an 18 hour day
Flopping onto my bed to watch others on TV living the life I desired.
Lying in bed wide awake wondering why I can't sleep even though I was exhausted all day.
Waking up to do it all over again.


Do you feel like something important might possibly be wrong when it comes to your health and wellness?

Well, there is.

Your body is acidic!

Here's what to do. Go to any large Health food store and buy some pH testing strips. Put the paper under your tongue and see for yourself just how acidic
you really are.

All those unhealthy choices you've been making with regards to eating and drinking have had an impact on your body at the cellular level.

I know your life is busy and you have stress and just don't have the time to eat 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. I know you also struggle to
take care of your physical, mental and spiritual wellness. I also know you have been bombarded with information from Nutritionists, Surgeons, Doctors,
Radiologists, Pharmacists, and Holistic Practitioners to name a few. They all have different things to say, but can also all agree on one thing.

When you're dead, you're 100% acidic.

Read that last sentence again three times.

Meditate on what that means.

Are you slowly killing yourself?

You Won't Believe What You've Been Drinking!

The “eating right and staying healthy” trend is in, and many have different ideas on how it can be done. Many people are going to the market to purchase organic items, and they are looking toward Eastern/alternative medical advice rather than the traditional Western style medicine. The benefits to this trend are wonderful, and returning things to its natural state is the best way to do it. However, there is one thing that is still causing a major problem. And, the sad thing is, many don’t even have a clue—not even some of the most renowned health professionals! It’s the problem with our drinking water!

If you found out what you were drinking, you would be disgusted! Do you have any idea what is in your current drinking water, even the bottled water you thought was so healthy for you? And, did you know that the water you are drinking is a major contributing factor to today’s MANY health problems such as aging, parasites, obesity, diabetes, and skin problems? Furthermore, did you know that most drinking water is creating a harmful environment in your body? It’s okay if you don’t because many are left clueless.

Doctor’s everyday suggests that water does the body good and it is true if you are drinking the right kind of water. Most don’t know that they really are drinking the wrong kind of water. And, most don’t know that most drinking water is acidic. You may think that drinking bottled water is a cheap remedy to solving this problem. However, you may be shocked to find out that even bottled water contains acidic components which aren’t healthy for your body! So, how can water do the body justice if it has toxins in it? How can the water you are drinking help you if it is acidic? Look at what Doctor Robert O. Young says in his book, The pH Miracle below;

"Those willing to look again, and with clear eyes, will be rewarded with the secrets to permanent health. We can heal ourselves by changing the environment inside our bodies. Potentially harmful invaders, then, will have nowhere to grow and will become harmless."

Another health professional, Harald Tietze, Author of "Youthing" says that:

"by drinking alkaline water, the aging process can be reversed and the wastes can be reduced in the long-term to a level of a much younger person. The functions
of the organs can be revived."

What's more, Dr. Young has written a best selling book on the subject of Alkalinity and Diabetes. He points out that by increasing your body's alkalinity and decreasing its acidity will lead to miraculous improvements for diabetics. but his method requires radical changes in diet. You can check out his interview done By: KWQC-TV Paula Sands Live with Dr. Young and Shelley at www.getsowealthy.com. While there at the site, you may want to take a good look at some of the life changing secrets that many western doctors are totally clueless about. These methods were practiced in Japan for over thirty-two years but are now being revealed!

Many people all over the globe are discovering the health benefits of the Kangen Water system. Unlike most water filters that just filter out chemicals and bacteria from the tap water, this system has mechanisms that alter the water’s PH changing it from acidic to alcoline which enables our bodies to be much healthier and live to their full potential. The people using this system are discovering how wonderful they feel just by changing the body’s PH! They are feeling younger, better, and healthier!

They are not drinking five cups of coffee daily to keep their energy levels up. They are drinking God’s precious gift—water. That’s all they are doing, and it is the correct kind of water! Many are learning of the secrets of Kangen Water, a solid company that has been around for thirty-two years. Its base is in Japan but it is now offering services in the United states and all over the world. Furthermore, while Kangen is promoting better health, they are also promoting better wealth as they are offering positions all over the globe!

I suffer from a parasitic disorder called Candida for which there is no cure. My body will forever be a host to these nasty parasites.

So, I’m living proof that the PH factor in the body makes a difference. And, it is important to me that everybody knows about these powerful secrets that even the doctors are unknowledgeable about.

When I stumbled on this company, I felt it was worth reading about. I did the research I needed in order for me to find some background on the way things worked. I also read the testimonials and did the research on the facts that were listed at the site. Shockingly, I found them to be true and knew there was an easier and better way to changing my body’s environment rather than taking dozens of supplements and popping many pills from the health food shop! Furthermore, I recommended this to other members of the Candida support group—a support group that I started in my local area. Then, I talked to my friends and family about it. I felt like I struck gold! So, here I am now, getting the word out to the public.
