Cooking Without Looking

  • How To's
Jenna stands in front of a gas stove, beaming at the camera. With one hand, she stirs a pot of tomato sauce. In her other hand she holds a cluster of tomatoes. The entire photo rests on a white background decorated with assorted cakes and candies.

Some people assume that since I can’t see, I don’t cook. One gentlemen even asserted that I must use Meals on Wheels. Others assume that my remaining senses are heightened and that I am some sort of cooking superhero. The truth is, a blind person’s […]

  • Motivational Speaking

Puppy Petting

  • Things You Should Know
Jenna sits on a bench with Nouveau at her left side. Jenna smiles at the camera, and Nouveau gazes serenely ahead. The photo rests on a white background with a pattern of pink hearts.

“I know I shouldn’t pet her, but she looked so cute I couldn’t resist.” “He looks just like my dog who passed away last year. I’m sorry I probably shouldn’t be petting him, right?” No friend, you definitely should not. Guide dogs have important jobs […]
