Legally Blind
But, The Nightmare Is Now Over Due To
The Genius Of Doctor Larry Patterson!
He performed the delicate
surgery I needed in Crossville, Tennessee, and now that
my two eyes have healed I can see almost perfectly! Isn't
that a miracle? That a man like Larry Patterson can change
a person from legally blind to almost 20/20 vision in
a matter of minutes?
By the way, did you know
anything beyond 20/400 is considered legally blind? They
mostly don't even bother measuring beyond that. Here's
what that means: if you have 20/20 vision and you are
looking at a car 400 feet away, for me (before surgery)
to see what you were seeing I would have to walk until
I was only 20 feet from the car. That kinda limits a guy's
act, doesn't it? And guess what? I personally know a man
whose uncorrected vision is 20/1000. Wow! I wonder what
he thought about the world before he got his corrective
lenses?
And so, after 20 years,
I pretty much stopped writing this newsletter. It wasn't
the logistics were insurmountable (they weren't), it's
just somehow I didn't have the spirit to do it. Oh. I
could write for clients, OK. Maybe better than ever. You'll
see some samples of my recent work before you finish this
letter. It's silly but I just sort of consider this letter
sacred and I just didn't want to grapple with it when
I am any way impaired. (I'd be a treat for a shrink, wouldn't
I?).
So, now you know (sort
of) why I haven't posted a newsletter for quite some time.
It's partially a spiritual reason I don't completely understand
myself.
Anyway, I Want To Apologize For All The
Grief
And Trauma I Have Caused You!
You see, when my newsletter
isn't posted at least once a month, my info starved, truth
seekers are forced to get by with written dribble from
second rate marketers like Clayton Makepeace, John Carlton,
Gary Bencivenga, Dan Kennedy, Michael Fortin and all the
others who are so pathetic they are hardly worth mentioning.
Let alone reading.
