Hello again;
I’m back with another great interview from The What’s Your Excuse? Show.
This time I’m speaking with Kalari Girtley a wife, mother, writer, author, beep baseball champ, and much more who happens to be blind.
And if that isn’t enough for you, then you should know that her husband is also blind. Yes two visually impaired parents raising three sighted active kids in South Chicago, Illinois.
We talked about all aspects of life. How she lost her vision, how she met her husband, how they manage kids, how they manage household chores, and yes how are they dealing with corona.
I loved her sense of humor and zest for life. And I was impressed with the big lesson her dad taught her once the family knew she was losing her vision.
She and her family are the true embodiment of the What’s Your Excuse approach to life. And I hope you will take the time to watch or listen. Because even I felt inspired after this talk.

I was truly blessed to get to spend this time with Kalari. We laughed, and she showed me and anyone who watches or listens that there is a way if you choose to find it.
Kalari’s passion about her family, beep baseball, writing, having meaningful work, and so much more are great reminders. And when I say that I include myself.
Sharing Is Caring
I have often told you that the best way to say thank you is to put feet on the ground, butts in the seats, or faces behind the screens.

People need to hear messages of hope like this especially now. So, please help me.
I also want to thank you in advance for continuing to support me by watching or listening to my work.
I was recently asked what my top motivation is for continuing to show up and do the work.
My answer was and still is that I feel a sense of obligation to you.
Since finding out the power I have to inspire others I felt a responsibility to continue working hard because I just don’t want to let you down.
I look forward to your comments or to your emails if you prefer privacy.
