    "Be My Eyes"

    I just heard about this amazing app/service this morning on one of my favorite podcasts. Be My Eyes is a free app that connects blind and low vision people with sighted volunteers and company representatives for visual assistance through a live video call.

    Whether you need a pair of sharp eyes or have some sight to lend, Be My Eyes is a simple, free tool to support people see the world better, together.


    No merit. Vast emptiness; nothing holy. I don't know.

      Hi Kate, I'm also a knitter. I only know how to knit scarves though or blankets.

        I'm also a very keen knitter and hooker ( because crocheter never sounds right!). It would be great if we could do a project as a group. Also if anyone one wants to learn to knit - and it's now considered very cool for men to knit, just sayin' - I'm happy to research videos and websites and point you in the right direction.

          I am about to sit, then have a quiet evening knitting. Will be thinking of all my fellow Treeleaf knitters. =)

            I just posted something on the topic of the "do gooder" getting some satisfaction or pleasure out of doing good. I have no problem with that.

            LAH, Jobs & Callings

            ... This came to mind when I heard the following podcast today from the American public radio, on turning one's job (sometimes even a tedious or unpleasant job) into a "calling" that inspires one, gives satisfaction and pleasure. I'll be darned if a lot of the actions and attitudes recommended by the expert interviewed don't sound a lot like "LAH-ish" acts and attitudes. ...

            Hi Workers of the World! I have never been one to feel that "Lend A Hand" or other charitable and caring actions only have meaning if the doer doesn't "get something" out of it, some pleasure, satisfaction or sense of self worth in the giving. Why not? It should not be the primary or exclusive motive for

              At times, being on the receiving end, seems to be doing good, lah, too.
              Last weekend, the (now locals) refugees, I am helping here and there, threw a summer party at their quarters.
              They invited the neighbours for a barbecue and some Persian/Syrian live music.
              Sadly, not that many visited :-(.
              The few, that came, had a wonderful time, tasting from the warm, giving, welcoming culture, the refugees brought with them.
              They were so incredibly happy, feeding me a fat belly and seeing me stumbling over my own feet, trying a form of Persian line dance with their help.
