Through Your Eyes – Explained

22 12 2013

Through Your Eyes_bruceKgarber_Coffee_Aclick this photo to listen to the audio clip

Hello, I’m Bruce Garber highlighting ordinary people doing extraordinary things and this is Through Your Eyes. Let me explain.

We all have been born with two eyes, well most of us have. But we all see things differently. We all have different experiences, sometime because of where you live in the world or what you do. Sometimes, because of interest or culture.

Here’s what I’m thinking.
I want to hear your stories. I want to know what you have seen. It can be anything, stories of inspiration or motivation. It can be about the circle of life or a difference you or someone you know has made in some way.
Here’s what I want you to do.
Record a video or audio file. It’s easy sit in front of you video or web camera, even in front of your cell phone camera. Use the audio recording app, most smart phones have and tell me your stories. Keep it to 3 minutes or less. And send it to me in a Facebook or a Google+ message. You can upload it to YouTube or Sound Cloud or any other platform you use and send me the link. I will gather these stories and share them as part of this new show Through Your Eyes.
By sending me your stories you are giving me permission to use them for broadcast on the show, on air or on line anyplace in the world.
As I said, most of us have been born with two eyes, however what, if you were not. Most of us take sight for granted. Maybe you lost your sight for some reason or were born blind. What have you seen.
Now think about it. You can tell me your story in a video, or if you’re camera shy record an audio clip.
Use any method you like, we just want to hear and share what you have seen Through Your Eyes.
Thank you for sharing what you have seen Through Your Eyes.





Ashley’s Random Act of Kindness

17 12 2013

Ashley_001click this photo to listen to the audio clip

If you know me you know I like to highlight ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This is one of those stories.
Ashley’s a friend of mine I meet one year ago and had the opportunity to see again this past weekend. We stay friends on the social networks. Sunday Ashley shared by posting an inspiring experience she recently had. I wanted to share it with you in hopes it may also inspire you especially during this holiday season.
This is what Ashley wrote.
I had just finished shoveling out my mom’s driveway – tired and hungry I was heading back home when I saw a little old lady, knee deep in heavy snow at the foot of her driveway, poking holes in the snow with an old broomstick. I pulled over and offered to help.
She told me that had been up since 5 a.m, watching the snow accumulate and periodically stepping outside with her broomstick. “Every year,” she said ” I just poke holes in the snow for the sun to get through and I pray to God that it goes away.”
Using a shovel that she admitted was too heavy for her to carry off her porch, I started shoveling. She followed me, walking in paths that I created for her, telling me all about herself; where she grew up, how she loves to garden, her prayers, a dog that she used to care for…
An hour later we stood at the end of her long, shoveled driveway – her with her broomstick and I with her shovel. She asked if she could give me anything, rambling off ideas she had like tea, cookies or some old gardening books. I kindly asked her to accept it as a gift and wished her a happy holiday. “Well,” she said, as she adjusted her little knit hat, “this is the best Christmas gift that I have ever received.”
Remembering how amazing it feels to give… particularly to those who need it most and sharing this story with hopes that others will too.

Photo Collage Makers

19 10 2013

I’ve been trying to find a collage maker that will do it all like editing your photo’s making the collage and overlaying text. I found and like this one by Pixlr. Easy and fun to use and there’s an app for it. Try it, you may like it.

Photos were taken by me during a summer street festival. Sidewalk artist unknown.
