Destiny Is Debatable (Formerly Ambiguously Blind‪)‬ John B Grimes

After answering some wacky questions, Sara shares a bit about her story that begins  as a young, single mother and how she discovered her path to forgiveness and healing from the scars of sexual abuse and the trauma of an unexpected divorce through a daily practice of actively embracing the power and beauty of nature. Sara explains the transformative experience that occurs while leading her clients through the Grand Canyon. 
 
Sara also believes in an alternative definition of forgiveness, stresses the importance of laughter and shares some priceless advise she received from her best friend, her mother. And, Sara shares her recipe for her signature drink, hot water, honey and lemon that may or may not also contain bourbon.

In a world of spoken thought and musings, the humble little podcast known as Ambiguously Blind has undergone a profound transformation, shedding its audio cocoon to emerge as a captivating orator, primed for epic debates on destiny's enigmatic crossroads. Destiny Is Debatable, has taken flight and is eager to challenge the very threads of fate.
Okay, sorry… That may be a little dramatic, but we are evolving. Ambiguously Blind is now Destiny Is Debatable! And, as you may have heard, I’ve been working on a writing project for a long, long, looooooong, time.
Over the past 18 months, I’ve been working with a partner to help extract and organize my story and turn it into a high-impact message balanced with my signature sense of humor. Voilà, Destiny Is Debatable is born!  
I’m very pleased to announce that we’ve made tremendous progress. I thought this was the perfect time to bring my partner, the great Garrison Wynn, on the podcast to talk about what we’ve been up to and let you know where we’re headed.

This year for World Meningitis Day, we pulled together a remarkable collection of people from around the world to raise awareness and share their story to help light the road ahead to defeat meningitis.
Turning the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Road Map to Defeat Meningitis by 2030 into reality could save more than 200,000 lives annually and significantly reduce disabilities caused by meningitis. At present, bacterial meningitis kills 1 in 10 people who contract it and causes lifelong disability in 1 in 5 people who survive it.
:: For this episode our guests were asked to respond to these questions:
How were you affected by meningitis?
What do you want people to know about meningitis?
What are you doing to spread awareness?
:: Our guest are:
Bob Werner (Wisconsin, USA)
Elena Moya (Madrid, Spain)
Rekha Lakshmanan (Texas, USA)
Siobhan Carroll (Galway, Ireland)
Vinny Smith (Bristol, England)
Bruce Langoulant (Perth, Australia)
John B Grimes (Texas, USA)

:: What is World Meningitis Day?
World Meningitis Day was started in 2009 by a community of people affected by meningitis. Today it has grown to be a global movement that brings together people from all over the world. Together they highlight the need to raise awareness of meningitis, its signs and symptoms, the vaccines that are available, and that it is an infection that needs global attention and effort to be defeated.
Every year, there are 2.5 million new cases of meningitis. Despite meningitis affecting so many lives, many people don’t know enough about it, or how to protect themselves and their loved ones. A lack of knowledge and limited support means it can also be isolating for people looking to rebuild their lives after meningitis. Seeking community is a very human response and one that offers connection, healing and the opportunity for meaningful change. It is out of this need for community that, in 2004, the first world conference of meningitis organizations was held. It led to the creation of the Confederation of Meningitis Organizations (CoMO), the world’s first international network of meningitis organizations, with members ranging from healthcare professionals to meningitis survivors to bereaved family members.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has developed a global plan to dramatically improve meningitis prevention, diagnosis and treatment, disease monitoring, health advocacy, support and aftercare.
:: The Global Road Map to Defeat Meningitis by 2030
This is a game changer for people at risk of or affected by meningitis. Turning the WHO’s Global Road Map to Defeat Meningitis by 2030 into reality could save more than 200,000 lives annually and significantly reduce disabilities caused by meningitis. At present, bacterial meningitis kills 1 in 10 people who contract it and causes lifelong disability in 1 in 5 people who survive it.

⚠️ **WARNING** This episode contains gratuitous dad jokes! 🤣 
Since we last connected with Bradford and Bryan Manning, they have both become fathers. They stop by to answer some wacky questions from John, talk about fatherhood and entertain us with some finely hand-crafted dad jokes. Bradford shares his experience with the encouraging advancements made in testing for severe genetic conditions including Stargardts disease.  After swapping parenting techniques and funny stories the brothers talk about the quintessential item in their catalog, socks and how much fun they’ve had selling them on QVC.

The great Jack Chen stops by to share his sight loss story and how a simple podcast episode with Dan Berlin turned into a documentary film and bold social action campaign to fundamentally alter the way that employers think about talent in the blind community. Both blind, Jack and Dan knew that their positions as Assistant General Counsel for Facebook and CEO of a large food company were not aberrations. They set out to prove to the world that people who are blind could be successful both on and off the bike, in the saddle and in the boardroom.
 
The gripping documentary film, Surpassing Sight, parallels their journey of building a team to tackle the toughest cycling race in the world, RAAM (Race Across America), with their equally grueling journey through the employment world.
