And when most of us truly believe that August is one of the quietest months when it comes to generating initiatives, here is how Donna changed this for August.

Donna engaged in providing a high level evaluation and review to Café Pacific for their draft proposal on the Accessible Canada Act.

Next, Air Transat reached out to her to ask if she would be interested to join their committee on accessibility issues and she accepted.

Next she accepted a contract position with the Knowbility Organization based in the United States.

And finally she continued to engage and communicate with the Carroll Center to identify opportunities to work with them.

Donna looks forward to unveiling some announcements early in the fall.

Welcome to my Donna’s did you know diary for this month and pleased to share the following with you.

Here’s what I learned for this month.

• Some types of vacation for you to keep in mind:

Vacation – away from home.

Stay cation – vacation at home

Work cation – a combination of a vacation or stay cation and working while you vacation.

• And what do the sleep experts recommend for the right number of hours for sleep at night?

According to them 7 to 8 hours.

Guess I need to increase my own number of hours.

• This may be a bit late for the summer but never the less:

There are 2 types of sun rays and these are UVA and UVV.

It is always better to use sun protectors that are lotions as opposed to using a spray and why?

Because you stand less of a chance of inhaling your sun protector.

• Some suggestions for flavouring your water?

You can use any of the following:

Slices of lemon or orange

Slices of cucumber

Lettuce leaves.

• Here is an interesting tip on plants.

Yes indeed!  They help to purify the around them and a good idea to keep them in your home.

• About dandruff?

Dandruff comes about as a result of a dry scalp and shampoo conditioner really does not help.

You should be looking at using an overnight serum product to help you here.

• And it’s all about diamonds!

Did you know that there are home grown diamonds and natural diamonds?

Home grown diamonds come from labs

While natural diamonds come from mines.

The natural diamonds are more expensive than the home grown ones.

• What is the difference between a bloody Caesar and a bloody Mary?

The bloody Caesar is made using Motts Clomato juice

While the bloody Mary is used using tomato juice.

1) Best Of Helpful Hints: The Kitchen

Baking With Ease: How To Make A Heart-Shaped Cake

* First, make a round cake and a square cake. Cut the round cake in half. Then, turn the square cake so the corners face you, and it appears to be a diamond shape rather than square. Place each half of the round cake on the two upper most sides of the diamond and you now have a perfectly heart-shaped cake.

2) Best Of Helpful Hints: The Kitchen

Baking With Ease: Five Equal Pie Pieces

* Cut a “Y” in the pie and then cut the two large pieces in half. You will then have 5 pieces exactly the same size.

A review of the Life Labs facility at Fairview Mall drive
By Donna Jodhan
Award winning advocate and sight loss coach

Introduction:
It sure helps when you find a medical facility where staff is well trained and there exists a very friendly, welcoming, and accessible environment.

So how would I rate their services? With 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest, here are my ratings.
Service desk assistance – 5
Assistance for patients with special needs – 5
Assistance at lab – 5

Remarks :
Access to the lab was extremely user friendly for a vision impaired person and navigating around the lab itself and finding a seat was not very difficult.

About lab staff:
They were very helpful and went above the call of duty.

Any suggestions?
Just keep up the great work.

Ask the Coach!

August 17 2023

My name is Donna Jodhan and I am using my extensive experience as a sight loss coach as well as my lived experience to share and respond to questions that are submitted to me and I also invite you to share your thoughts on questions asked.

For this week:  a question from Nina in Rio Brazil.

Nina wants to know what she should put in her purse when flying rather than her carry on.

My response:

Nina, for me personally, here is what I keep close to me in my purse.

Passport, wallet with my ID cards, credit cards, money, hair brush,

Hand tissues, hand sanitizer, wet ones,

Address book, and then you need to determine what else you need to keep close to you.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Tell us what you think!  Share your feedback and let’s get more ideas cracking!

It’s important for us to share how we do things!

To contact me with a question or a thought; please send an email to me at donnajodhan@gmail.com and I’ll be sure to respond in 5 business days at the most.

If you wish me to respond earlier then put the word important in your subject line and I’ll do my best to respond more quickly.

Until the next time then!

I’m Donna wishing you a pleasant day and thanking everyone for their insightful feedback and suggestions!
