Greetings Fellow Federationists:
I hope all of you had a nice weekend. South Carolina enjoyed beautiful snow
on Friday evening and Saturday. It is a huge deal in the Palmetto state when
we see the white stuff!
I would like to take a moment and share my heart with all of you. The
beginning of this year has brought a few bumps in the road; a few
challenges; a few road blocks. COVID has put a lot of strain, stress,
isolation, frustration, and loneliness in our path over the last two years.
It probably has even caused us to react in ways we would not normally. I am
guilty of that too. We cannot see our families and friends as much as we
would like. We have lost people that we have loved and cherished. We may be
feeling depressed, lonely, short tempered, frustrated, and, in general, we
are just so overwhelmed with life.
The last few weeks have been especially hard; emotions have been high,
scattered, all over the place. I take ownership of some of those emotions
that are not normally openly expressed. I feel I am somehow letting you all
down. I have heard statements like, "I don't feel like you trust us." "You
are not giving us clear direction." "You don't believe in us." "You don't
respond to us." "Why did you take so much time on our one word during our
statewide seminar"? And, so many more statements that are not very positive.
Very few people will contact me directly to get clarification, to ask why or
to seek and explanation for a request or statement. Most folks will call
someone else other than me to ask "why did she do this or that"? "Why is she
not doing this or that"? "Why does she do it this way or that way"?
When I spoke to the state convention before the elections in 2020, I
promised everyone I would lead with authenticity, transparency and
integrity. I have said numerous times through the Positive Note, Palmetto
Connects, state convention, and other avenues to please call or email me
with questions, with ideas, with concerns. I am open and want to hear what
you have to say. Maybe, you want clarity on what I may have said or written.
Maybe, you have a different point of view. Maybe, you didn't like the way I
said or wrote something. If I say that you are welcome to call or email me,
I truly mean it. I am not just giving lip service. I am genuine in my words.
Change is hard. Change is uncomfortable. Change is
inevitable. Change is difficult. Change is also needed at times. Change can
be positive, can help us grow. I am not perfect. I make mistakes. I say
things that were not intended in the ways they may have come across. I am
not specific enough all of the time. I am maybe too direct at times. What I
am is, a person who has good intentions, who always strives to do the right
thing, who is willing to try new things, who wants to hear ideas even if
they are different from my own, who has big ideas for the Palmetto
affiliate, and who believes that each of us has something to give to this
awesome organization. Most of all, I care deeply about each one of us in the
NFB of SC. I want to help all blind people in South Carolina have equality
and independence, and I will always strive to lead with love, respect, hope,
and determination.
We will only make strides if we work together to persevere. If we row the
boat in the same direction. If we remember, "we" instead of "me and I." If
we respect each other. If we share our thoughts, our feelings, our ideas,
and our challenges. If we believe in ourselves, others, and our affiliate.
If we change our negative attitude into a positive one. If we don't hold
grudges. If we show compassion and kindness. If we live up to all that we
can be!
Each day is a clean slate. Will you join me in wiping our slates clean.
Starting fresh. Erasing the negativity, the hurtful words, the harsh tones.
Will you join me in leading with love, hope and determination and promise to
participate actively in the NFB of SC. Will you come to me when you have
ideas, when you need clarification, when you don't understand the "why",
when you need me for something that may not have to do with the NFB of SC.
Will you take what I, or others, may say at face value, and not put more
meaning behind their words that what is there? I am here for all of you,
as, I know all of you are here for me! We are all Federationists for a
reason. The bonds that keep us in the NFB of SC are strong. Can we find
ways to heal the hurt, build back trust, build back respect, build back the
brotherhood and sisterhood that we so badly need to be able to move ahead?
Let's say yes and go build the Federation
SUN Shares, Shares Unlimited NFB
One of the tremendous examples of our words unity and perseverance at our
statewide seminar was that of our affiliate collecting 130 SUN shares for

If your Committee, Chapter or Division meets on the Federation Center or
Rocky Bottom Zoom platform, beginning on January 1, 2022. I will still send
out monthly and weekly reminders, but it will be up to the person in charge
of the meeting to send out the daily reminder. The reason for this is that
we have been asked to provide the agenda to everyone before the meeting.
This way when you send out your agenda, you can also include the Zoom
information for your meeting.
Below you will find the information for the Federation and Rocky Bottom Zoom
information to join meetings. Please keep a copy of this information to send
out with the agenda for your meeting.

Joke of the Week
Why do sharks only swim in saltwater?
Pepper makes them sneeze!
Fascinating Fact of the Week
You should throw away the cotton in your medication bottles.
Believe it or not, that little ball of cotton that comes in your bottle of
pills, which is there to keep pills safe during shipping, is meant to be
removed. It can

moisture because of its absorbent nature, which makes your pills deteriorate
faster.
Final Thought
Another way that you love your enemy is this: When the opportunity presents
itself for you to defeat your enemy, that is the time which you must not do
it. There will come a time, in many instances, when the person who hates you
most, the person who has misused you most, the person who has gossiped about
you most, the person who has spread false rumors about you most, there will
come a time when you will have an opportunity to defeat that person. It
might be in terms of a recommendation for a job; it might be in terms of
helping that person to make some move in life. That's the time you must do
it. That is the meaning of love.
-Martin Luther King Jr.
NFB Pledge
I pledge to participate actively in the effort of the National Federation of
the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; to
support the policies and programs of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.
NFB One Minute Message
"The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back."
