I am in a couple of Toastmasters clubs. In one club there is a member who is blind. I am awe-struck whenever I see her. This woman sees through hearing, and she ‘sees’ a lot. She picks up on things people do simply by listening and notices things those of us who are watching don’t

I don’t know where the time went, but in 51 days I will be 60 years old! Me and Barbie – almost twins 🙂 Looking back over my life I see a collage of events: some happy, some sad, some lonely, some exciting. All those events have led me to the person I am today.
