Becky Peterson Andrews | Blind Beauty 1
“I walk into a stop sign, which forces me to take action around my failing vision. This literal sign required me to stop and reevaluate my current circumstances and make some changes in my life. “If I’d been waiting for a sign that I needed a cane, well, I’d just walked into one.”
~Becky Peterson Andrews, (quote is an excerpt from chapter 7 of her book).
