Good morning.

Currently digesting the outcome of an interesting meeting with a few colleagues after work yesterday, during which we discussed how we might introduce various #selfcare practices to other workmates.

“The truth is, we know so little about life, we don’t really know what the good news is and what the bad news is,” - Kurt Vonnegut

Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

I met a new member of staff at work today.

She's in her early Twenties and is registered as legally blind. She is completely blind in one eye, and has something like 10% sight in the other. She has a guide dog which sometimes stays at work with her (in the staff room) and uses a cane - but not at work.

Considering all of the above, she manages to make her way around the store, read product labels - sometimes with the use of a magnifying glass, use the till, and demonstrate the products (body lotions etc.) to the customers.

She has just finished a Masters Degree in Children's Literature, writes articles for various websites, and has a very active YouTube channel.

To say that I was inspired by her would be an understatement.
