The Unrecognized Power of Touch

Aug. 12, 2005 - Touch the Top

Hi folks. For those of you who need some motivation, like I do, to reach your full human potential, check out Erik Weihenmayer's website http://www.touchthetop.com. He's the blind man who climbed Mount Everest. You can also hear an interview of Eric by Will Matthews at http://www.healthynet.com, the "Business and Beyond" show.

As a teacher of the blind I learned early on the importance of our sense of touch and learning. So, don't forget to reach out and touch someone today with compassion.

Aug. 13, 2005 - The blind leading the blind

Posted by mcrowley57

Erik's story is so fascinating. I saw his story featured in a great Disney release last year, America's Heart and Soul. He is certainly a role model.

I had the chance to meet some great folks at The Colorado Center for the Blind this week (www.cocenter.org) and they are doing amazing things for the blind of our world - things we could not imagine blind people doing - such as working with power tools, building furniture, and so on. They are having a grand opening of their new Industrial Arts Training Facility on August 24th. I'm going to do a show on their great programs on Community Affairs USA in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Paula for your usual great information here!
