Snowfall

I've never seen it fall so steady,
yet gentle.

In the light of the night,
everything so calm.

My heart beats,
with wonder and awe.

My mind gazes off
into a daze.

My heart wants to jump
for joy.

My mind,
so humbled.

As I look outside,
I am forever grateful,
for having a warm place
to lay my sweet babe's head
and mine in comfort and peace.

Taking Chances: Tackling the Workforce

Image
As I have been unsuccessful at getting through an interview in Buffalo, NY for the last four years, I had to finally ask for assistance from a local agency that works on behalf of those who are hard of hearing and/or Deaf.  It is no fun when you go into a job interview and you find yourself among ringing phones, overhead intercom system, and other disruptions that can cause one to lose focus and concentration on important questions being asked. I have always manage to find a job within a year or two.  Never really struggled as much as I have been the last four years.  There are those who may find themselves in a similar position as myself and to be honest finding a job with a server to profound hearing loss can be a huge challenge, even for those who have moderate to server hearing loss. What bugs me about this whole thing is the fact that many assume that those with a hearing loss don't want to apply themselves or they are not capable enough to communicate effecti...

Missing my other half

It's been a long time now. Things have yet to settle. You've been on my mind, Day in, Day out. Yes, I still love you... Like a fool. Things have been said and done. Hurtful and painful. In the end, we both want the same thing. Just not now. So I'm missing you. Loving you, Without telling you. Without showing you. We're connected, for life. You already have my heart. I'm just sorry I don't have yours. That is the one thing that hurts me the most. But you're my other half. I just want you to know, I will walk to the end of earth for you. Because that is how much love, I have for you. You just don't know it yet. I think about you, I wonder about how you are. I wonder if you are well. I worry about you. I really do. Even though you tell me not too. Call me a fool in love. But this love been here for two years... and counting. I don't think I'll ever love another like I love you. That kind of love, is a love worthwhile. That kind of love, is a love th...

CI Journey: What it's like a year and a half later

Image
As I have been trying to play catch up, life tends to get busy and obviously I'm still trying to catch up.  I am usually responding or answering questions among others on FB in regards to the CIs (Cochlear Implant(s)) and HAs (Hearing Aid(s)) but I know I haven't really been on much.  So my apologies. I was having issues with my nine and a half year old computer and it kept crashing on me.  So when I started to response or work on a blog or tweet or to even try to type up something in the Cochlear Community - my computer went hay-wired on me!  So it has been very frustrating to not be able to participate fully but to do so here and there.  Now, I have a working refurbished Dell tower, which I honestly didn't want to put out the money for, but since I do graphic designs on the side for friends who want me to help them out and I also write - I needed my programs to be fully functional and uninterrupted.  I've only had it for a few days now, so here hoping t...
