“Despite the obstacle, when a strong passion within yearns for life, begs to thrive, we must find a way to release it. To set free that which creates, that which inspires, for passion is the driving force behind all that is great. ”
— Rico Lamoureux

Welcome my wonderful readers!

I came upon this inspiring story today about an artist who lets nothing get in the way of her artistic passion. Not even a severe case of Polio, which has left her nearly unable to move!

I can relate, on some level, to her determination, given the fact that I am totally blind in one eye and near legally blind in the other due to Acute Retinal Necrosis.

I'm an author who still uses traditional tools of the trade, meaning I write longhand and then type it up on a computer. So yeah, my visual impairment has made it quite difficult to read and write since I often have to do so with the aide of a magnifying glass, but when one is faced with obstacles that are beyond their control they must learn to live the motto 'Where there's a will, there's a way'.

I've written about the diverse journey of my life so far in Power of the Pen, my autobiography that is currently available for pre-order at igg.me/at/Rico
(Yeah, shameless plug-LOL!)

See you tomorrow:)
