[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Let me think about your questions, but will list some resources.  My parents
for helping me be independent; teachers who wanted me to be independent and
taught me Braille and cane travel and other stuff at an early age; other blind
people; my belief in God; sighted people who wanted to be my friend and be
constructive when interacting with me; my fiance, Bill; my guide dog, Dede;
again, let me think on this some more.  And, I guess my good thoughts,
feelings and faith in myself. I still find that faith waiver sometimes; I
still find myself selling myself short sometimes, but mostly, it's been okay
and quite positive experience.
