About YMG Communications

You can’t be blind and drunk. Well, you can, but it’s messy.  

In my memoir, Stumbling Blindly Toward Grace, I share the quirky and often dark misadventures of growing up as a budding alcoholic, later diagnosed as blind while attempting to manage full-fledged alcoholism. 

On the brink of death, still reeling from many horrific relationship breakdowns of the self-imploding dumpster fire sort, I ignored my deteriorating vision loss with substances. 

After my liver decided to shit the bed, I was faced with a choice. Get busy living. Or get busy dying. At the age of forty, after twenty-seven fun and, at times, horrifying years of drinking and drug use, I decided to live. This was just the beginning. 

Stumbling Blindly Toward Grace encapsulates my miraculous transition from the dark corners of addiction, heartache, domestic abuse and blindness to a new life of wellness, community, and spirituality. Now, with a fully functioning liver, I strive to share the great joy I find in life as an active member of the recovery community, an avid yoga instructor, an entrepreneur, and a community advocate for the blind.
