My Untold Sight Loss Journey - Part 3

This week, as I continue sharing untold stories from my sight loss journey, we are taking it back to 2019 and 2020. I hope you enjoy!

2019:

In 2019, I graduated from college…Finally! It was a day that I had been looking forward to since I began my collegiate journey in 2012.

After losing my sight, it was also a day that I never thought would come.

On a December morning, however, I donned my cap and gown and made my way to the University of West Georgia to receive my diploma.

My Untold Sight Loss Journey - Part 2

In May of 2017, my mom, sister, and I took the trip of a lifetime to Hawaii.

While exploring the beautiful state, we had many adventures including hiking and ziplining.

On the beach, one day, my sister and I decided to try something that I had never done before sighted or blind… Kayaking in the ocean.

Kayaking is one of those activities that, while observing, looks easy, but once you are doing the paddling, you gain a whole new perspective.

My Untold Sight Loss Journey - Part 1

There is no doubt that my journey with blindness has been a challenging one.

The past 7 years have brought many experiences; some have been triumphant while others have been downright terrifying.

Despite the grief that accompanied my sight loss, I have been able to find joy in sharing how God has worked through it all.

Over the next few weeks, my blogs will contain stories from the past 7 years that I have not written or spoken about before.

Some will be hard, and some will be light-hearted, but each one will point right back to God and his amazing grace. I hope you enjoy!
