My interests include technology, history, medicine, crafting, meteorology and psychology. Politically, I consider myself a tad left of center and I am religiously agnostic. I am totally blind from birth and was a medical transcriptionist for over 25 years.
On this Thanksgiving day, I am full of gratitude for the people who teach me, accept me, encourage me and develop technologies that open for me a world of possibilities as a blind person that I never imagined could exist.

Like many of you, I feel Shocked and traumatized by the election results. But I also think it’s time to get up, brush ourselves off and get beyond just fear and doom talk so that we can start looking for a real path forward. On this Thanksgiving eve, I wonder what if anything gives you hope. ?

I wonder how the media landscape will Shake out in the next four years? Do you think there will be total capitulation or will there still be any vestiges of centrist or left-wing media?
