[stylist] "Eat, Pray, Love"

Sun Aug 22 18:48:18 UTC 2010

yes I read the book and saw the movie. I loved the book, there is always 
things left out of the Movie but you get the actual feelings of what the 
writer Elizabeth Gilbert went through.  I myself as being into travel would 
love to go to all of the exotic places, and yes she had the money to do this 
as well. But I put this emphasis in my business when I try and want to get 
blind people to travel.

Even though we cannot see we can have our own eat, smell, touch, hear and 
enjoy things in life.  Life shouldn't be taken for granted, up until 
December 10. 2001 I was a sighted almost healthy person dealing with 
diabetes.  Until that date and found myself legally blind, now almost total 
with only 15 percent vision in one eye.  And was on Dialysis for 4 1/2 
Years.  Tomorrow I will be celebrating the 5th Anniversary of my Kidney 
Transplant, which we in the family of transplant recipients a re-birthday 
and this year, I will be celebrating it without 2 of those special people in 
my family.

My best friend Steven Carroll, who donated his kidney to me will be gone 8 
month this past August 20th, he was going to be 44 years old in May, he was 
May 12th and I was April 13th our birthdays.   He past away in January from 
a fast moving cancer.  And my dear friend from the NFB, who geared me 
towards my way of living in the blind community Mr. Ed Bryant.

So enjoy you own eat, pray, love.  And enjoy everyday of your life.  Because 
you may not be able to do it tomorrow and there is so much out there to 
enjoy.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
