Hello friends,
I’m a Florida native who grew up in the caribbean and at the age of 19 returned to live in the land which rejoyced at my birth.
After getting married and adding three beautiful little bundles of joy to the family, I became involved in Sports Nutrition and Fitness Coaching, with grand dreams of becoming a wealthy entrepreneur, but, life threw a curve ball at me: I lost my sight in a near fatal motorcycle accident. Fortunately, the experience brought me closer to God, and I was strengthened by his Spirit in a way I never knew before.
These radical changes prompted me to live and think in such a different way, I refer to these later years as my second life. I have learned a lot through blindness, of which, overcoming challenges continues to be my best work in progress.
I thank God for leading me to WA, as a place where I can grow and prosper, while helping others do the same. I'm one of those who grabbed the $299 USD per year Black Friday special in 2016 and I love the fact this is my subscription rate for life, because I’m making this my home. (LOL)
I’m also happy to be part of this community and look forward to building awesome relationships, among other things.
Finally, I wish all of you my fellow WA members, much success in your endeavors, as well as, spiritual richness beyond your wildest dreams.
God bless,
Edwin

I love the way you did not let your accident be an excuse for not succeeding as most people do. You took the challenge by the horns, slammed it to the ground, and gave bit a hard kick to get it out of your way. Congratulations!!! I too was guides to WA as you were. This is a truly a great Family. I hope you EXCEED your greatest dreams.
Best Wishes to You and your family,

Hi Edwin
It's great to have found another blind person taking control of there life! I have been blind from birth so I don't no any better. I can't imagine how it must be to loose the sight you had. You are inspiring. From what I can tell, you are doing very well here on WA and i would love to connect with you.
Do you use a screen reader? I do, and I am finding it difficult to use it officiantly with WA, I joined WA about a month ago, and things have been very slow and frustrating. Not all of that is because of my screen reader, but a lot of it.
I would be extremely grateful if you could help me with a few things, I will send you a private message soon if that is ok!
I wish you a continued success!

Hello there, glad to hear from you. Unfortunately WA is not 100% accessible with a screen reader; I useJAWS and there are areas I simply cannot use, but, I have work around them and continue moving forward. It is certainly a slow process, and frustrating at times, but, where there's a will, there's a way. I would gladly share with you what I have figured out. Also, I encourage you to submit to the administration your concerns; I admit I haven't done enough of this, but, I hope with more of us knocking on their doors there will be answers. Best wishes!

Hello, after interacting with you elsewhere on the platform I now see your bio and amazed to read that you are blind, I could not tell as you seem to be able to see everything and take part just like everyone else :)
It's wonderful to meet you. I was print disabled for a number of years and did not have access to any resources or help during that time, I am not print disabled now but I think there could be people out there who don't know what is possible, you are an inspiration!
Best wishes!

I understand, and in all truth you would need to be able to cover the monthly cost after the $19 is over, while your site starts producing, but, if you can't at this point it's possible to continue as a free member for as long as you need. You wont be able to communicate or ask questions, but, you can use the free training and search for answers to common questions previously addressed. For example, type on the search bar "how to make money with a free account," or something like that, to find advice on how to do it. You will continue to be prompted to go Premium, but, you can just ignore it until you're ready. Best wishes to you, and don't give up!

Hello, EOPolini! I'm also visually impaired and new to the WA community. I wanted to connect with you and see how you're doing with your training. Do you find that the training platform is accommodating for the visually impaired? How's navigation?

Hey Bryan, gladyou're also tackling this thing. I apologize it took me long to reply; I've had a rocky 2017 start not related to WA. The platform is not the most accessible, but, I trust we can learn to manage. How are you doing?
