Artist description "Until recently, I too, had it all!!!!!! Now, I am facing blindness. Somehow, I made it through the denial,the anger and the depression. At the darkest time, songs begin to come to me ---over 20 in a few short months. Now I hope to share my experiences to help others deal more easily with a disability. The inconvenience of a disability cannot interfere with the special gift God gives each of us. We must keep looking, living, loving and giving". Kathy Blue
