Q: People with low vision/no vision, what would you like to say to the seeing community, using positive words & phrases? (self.Blind)
submitted by Belongs_to_Snookums
I am an artist working on a large gallery project. Typically I use Gregg Shorthand words and phrases to create my art. I've been incorporating Braille; it provides a meaningful texture but more important, it allows people with LV/NV to appreciate the art also. For this particular piece, the shorthand and the translation will be the same color as the canvas, but the true message will be in Braille. Thank you for your help. When it's finished (a couple of months), I'll be sure to post.

Tell people that blindness is a spectrum. Most blind people aren't completely blind. People have a really hard time with this for some reason.

Blindness can be as much a gift from God as is your vision, so value what you have and praise him for the abilities you have.
If someone blind can see it in themselves to achieve and to strive like I do, I truly think so can you! It is important to focus on what you can do and to not let the obstacles in your life be so much of a roadblock as aides to your success and lessons you can learn.
If blindness is my obstacle, I have since learnt to master it and to make it an non-issue if not an ability. What is your obstacle, let’s climb over them one at a time!

Not a problem. I am glad to help. I am glad you like them. I wasn’t sure if you would. I’d maybe like one of these things. But we’ll see.

Tell them there’s nothing positive about it and it’s not a blessing like they think

Thank you. This one hits home with me, as my husband is spinal cord injured, and people have said this to us on occasion.
