Ellis my first Seeing Eye dog

Ellis helped me to get over my snow skiing accident. I lost much strength and balance from hitting the tree. It was a 6 year journey getting back to reasonably competent mobility before getting Ellis and soon after regained my confidence.

Beep Baseball

The years I played Beep baseball were a blast. I developed friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
I wish I could have known then how quick those days would come and go. We should cherishe them all. When you are living the moment as a young person you have no idea how fast life will fly by.
Enjoy the small things as they will be the memories you will cherish forever.

Cathy Ann on Main menu 2000

I completed the WordPress training with Cathy Ann today.

The amount of support I received during the 4 training modules was impressive.

I have always tried to follow her training philosophy.

They say emulating someone is the best complement.

I started following Cathy after listening to her and Jonathan back in 2000.
The training was provided on cassette tapes back then.
