Quote of the Week:

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act
rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those
because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle

Tip of the Week:
Have you ever eaten in a restaurant and couldn't figure out which
shaker was the salt and which one was the pepper?

Well, Wayne Fletcher has the cure for this problem... When you pick up
both, take a moment to notice the weight.
 The salt shaker is heavier than the pepper shaker.

Send your tips to Cheryl...

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines blind people or their future. Every day we
raise the expectations of and for blind people, because low
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. We
can live the lives we want; blindness is not what holds us back.
