The Bog Before The Blog

Posted on July 18, 2016 By Sister Rain

If this is a blog, and this is America so everything is debatable, but let’s go with the assumption that it is, its pre-production is a bog. I’m going to give you a few minutes here because I am sure that the fact that anything at all happens before I…

I began wearing glasses for nearsightedness in junior high and progressed to contacts in my early 20s. Since my vision loss, I don’t use any type of lenses because there is no prescription that will help me see better. I do wear special non-prescription blue-tinted sunglasses when out in the sun….
