Synopsis
Kathy Nimmer is an award-winning teacher, author, and motivational speaker from Indiana. In 2006, she won first place in the Helen Keller International Memoir Competition and published a book of poetry called Minutes in the Dark, Eternity in the Light. She received the Butler-Cooley Excellence in Teaching Award in 2004, is a two-time recipient of the Lilly Teacher Creativity Fellowship, earned National Board Certification in 2003, and was presented with the Golden Apple in 1998. In 2009, she was named a Lilly Distinguished Fellow, giving her the opportunity to pursue a lifelong dream, the fulfillment of which is Two Plus Four Equals One. Blind due to a rare retinal disease, Nimmer looks to her faith, family, and friends as cornerstones in her life. She enjoys working out at the gym, reading mysteries, following sports, adding to her perfume collection, and going for long walks with her third guide dog Elias.
True, vibrant, honest, and emotional, eliciting compassion, joy, sorrow, and love, promoting understanding, acceptance, awareness, and hope. Here are over 100 stories and poems written by or about men, women, and children, all either with disabilities or connected to people who have disabilities. Joining them are Labradors, German Shepherds, Poodles, Papillons, Goldens, Shelties, Chihuahuas, and many other breeds, all trained to assist their disabled handlers. From blindness to deafness, from mobility issues to psychiatric needs, from diabetes to autism, the array of disabilities showcased in this unforgettable book is as vast as the tasks performed by the canine partners. Your eyes will be opened to the strength, competence, and potential of both the human and canine participants in an alliance where neither partner is perfect but both together add up to an equation where two hands/feet/eyes/ears plus four paws equals one magical union.

Paperback. Condition: Good. About the BookGuess I'll Go Eat Worms - Maybe is a commentary on growing up and growing old in a modern western society. This writing explicates some of Phillip Anthony Dalon's life's journey, and how and why we all change our perspectives and opinions as we make this constantly changing voyage. It admittedly steps on a lot of toes, but if taken in its entirety, it may make sense to those with an open mind. Phillip's work experience includes: dishwasher, waiter, short order cook, heavy equipment operator, truck driver, ordinance supply clerk, civil engineering technologist, surveyor, civil engineering designer, draftsman/site planner, construction coordinator, construction engineer/project manager with a large, multinational corporation, licensed general contractor, and licensed home inspector. It is undeniable that he has vast experience with the subject matter.About the AuthorPhillip Anthony Dalon was born in 1942, into abject poverty and raised in the slums of a large southern city. Around thirteen years old, he was shot in the back; later, around 15, he was beaten mercilessly by a mob, and at twenty, he was stabbed in the side. He is a veteran of the US Army and served overseas in Hanau, Germany. He has undergone three surgeries on his arteries. He lost half of his left lung but survived lung cancer in his early seventies. Dalon has a bovine aortic heart valve replacement, a Pacemaker, and a Watchman implant.Dalon obtained a patent for a tool in 2003 and published ClanWickie, a full-length children's adventure novel in 2011. For all of his trials and tribulations, he has been blessed with a beautiful wife, four grown children, and seven grandchildren. He and his wife, Faye, have the retirement home of their dreams in a country setting with mountain views. They happily cohabit with their little dog, Ellie. Seller Inventory # 00106556376
