And I must admit that I regret I had not realized this before now.  By now, my business could have been thriving and I might not have felt so defeated because things always came to a halt.  I atended 2 colleges but do not have a degree from either.  The lack of braille materials hurt me a great deal although I didn't know that until recently.  As far as the jobs I couldn't hold onto, I believe those probably weren't in God's plan for me.  I was just trying to find myself.  Nevertheless, I consider each experience to be stepping stones I had to climb to get where I am now.
