All About Candygirl!!

Welcome to my blog. I am trying to get a little more into my blog. I make you no promises about how regular I will blog. I hope you can have a laugh as you read about my life and some of my thoughts. I am originally from Australia, but live in the States. Love to have fun teaching elementary school, and catching up with family and friends.

Erik Weihenmayer - Blind Man Climbs Everest.....


There are some people that have amazing trials through out their lives. In fact we all have things that we struggle with, but how we face them will sculpt our lives. I was privileged to listen to a talk given by Erik Weihenmayer. He is an amazing person and had great insights into life and what we can accomplish.

Erik went blind at the age of 13. He was somewhat bitter. But as time progressed, he became more accepting of his trials.
