Bye-Bye EYE!

Why Am I Having My Eye Removed? Let's Talk About My Blind Life, Guide Dog vs Cane, Tech

Join Karl and his wife for an honest conversation the day before his right eye removal (enucleation) surgery, as they talk about eye removal, vision loss, assistive technology for blind and low vision people, and what to expect from eye surgery and recovery. Karl dives into navigating daily life with a guide dog versus a white cane, including the pros, cons, and real-world situations where each mobility tool shines.​

You’ll also hear about coping with progressive vision loss, the power of a positive attitude, and the crucial support of family, friends, and communities like Ronald McDonald House Charities. Along the way, Karl shares stories, tips, and encouragement meant to uplift, challenge assumptions about blindness, and spread hope and positivity to anyone facing vision challenges or disability.​

Feel free to ask Karl anything about being blind, living life with one eye that barely works, progressive vision loss, guide dogs, white canes, and accessible tech. Thanks so much for watching and for being part of this Blind Life journey.

A Blind Life with Karl is a journey through the world with one eye that barely works, a cane in hand, a backpack and a heart full of hope. In this video, Karl shares real-life moments of living with blindness and progressive vision loss, staying positive through challenges, traveling the world, and proving that low vision cannot dim adventure, joy, or independence.

Join me, Tamila, the Mile-High Medium, as I share a powerful session that blends Reiki energy healing and intuitive coaching with my client, Blaine. Blaine came to me feeling a deep-seated heaviness in his heart, a weight he'd been carrying from a demanding father and a feeling of being misunderstood.

In this episode, we dive into how his spirit helper, Seraphine, guided us to heal his inner child, "Little Blaine," and release the emotional burden he was carrying. You'll learn how this session helped Blaine to:

Heal the root cause of his anxiety and physical tension.

Receive a powerful message from his Guides: "It's not your fault" and ending the blame game.

Use a simple visualization practice to release emotional blocks anytime, anywhere.

Find his voice and true purpose, leading him to travel the world and help others.

This session is a beautiful testament to the power of combining spiritual healing with practical guidance. If you've ever felt misunderstood or stifled, this story will resonate deeply.

Welcome to the Mile-High Medium & Hypnotherapy Podcast. In this powerful episode, join me, Tamila, as I guide my client, Becca, through a transformative hypnotherapy session to heal her deep-seated anxiety and trust issues.

Becca came to me feeling overwhelmed and carrying a painful past. Through a combination of Parts Therapy and Inner Child work, we uncovered the surprising root of her anxieties: a core belief planted during her early marriage that taught her not to trust anyone, including herself.

In this video, you'll see how we helped Becca:

Heal the "Little Becca" still carrying the pain of past betrayals.

Work with her overwhelmed and creative "parts" to find balance.

Receive profound wisdom from her inner child: "Know that you are loved and quit shutting people out."

Use a guided journey to her "happy place" in Thailand to find safety and peace within her own body.

This session is a beautiful testament to how acknowledging our subconscious mind can lead to lasting change and a truly empowered life. If you've ever felt like you couldn't trust yourself or others, this is for you.

In my latest episode, I'm sharing a session that truly touched my heart with a client named Becca. Her story is a powerful reminder that our past can silently shape our present.
Becca came to me with anxiety and a deep fear of trusting people, a pattern that started when her naivety was taken from her. But through hypnotherapy, we were able to travel back and heal that wound. We worked with her inner child, "Little Becca," who gave us a beautiful and simple piece of wisdom: "Know that you are loved and quit shutting people out."
This session is a beautiful example of how healing our past helps us reclaim our power. If you've ever felt like you couldn't trust your own judgment, this is for you.
Watch the full story to see how we helped Becca find her balance, connect with her creative spirit, and find peace in her "happy place."

Update: Petrona’s Rebuild – Progress Amid Challenges.

We still need your generosity.
gofund.me/d935bcc6

Hello, friends!
We’ve had a meaningful yet challenging week on Petrona’s rebuild journey. Our welder, Ventura, had to pause work due to the heartbreaking loss of his brother. Family comes first, and we’ve respected his time to grieve. Despite this, Ventura graciously carved out time to finish Petrona’s double doors, securing her home before he returns mid-week to begin the roof scaffolding and build-out.
Meanwhile, we’ve had an amazing team of three working hard on the project: Mario, Petrona’s son; his friend Ezekiel; and their neighbor Freddy, who has joined in to lend a hand. Together, they’ve made great progress—Petrona now has just half a wall left before we can start on the roof. This is such an exciting phase, though also a costly one, with concrete and materials stretching our budget.
Petrona continues to amaze us all. She works tirelessly every day, not just keeping the team fed with her delicious handmade tortillas (three times a day!) but also actively helping rebuild her home. Her strength and resilience are awe-inspiring. She truly is a superhero in her own quiet, humble way.
We’re so grateful to everyone who has donated to make this project possible. Your support is giving Petrona more than just a house—it’s giving her hope, security, and a brighter future.
If you feel inspired, please share this story with friends and family. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us move closer to completing this dream.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

With gratitude,
Tamila

The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, in the Guatemalan highlands is a vibrant and deeply spiritual celebration that blends Mayan traditions with Catholic influences. Here are some key aspects of the celebration and customs:

**Key Customs and Traditions:**

* **Cemetery Visits:** Families visit cemeteries to clean and decorate the graves of loved ones with flowers, candles, and offerings of food and drink.
* **Ofrendas (Altars):** Elaborate altars are constructed in homes and cemeteries to honor the deceased. These altars are adorned with photographs, personal belongings, and offerings of food, candles, incense, and flowers.
* **Food Offerings:** Traditional foods like tamales, fiambre (a cold dish with various ingredients), and fruit are prepared and placed on the altars as offerings for the spirits of the departed.
* **Giant Kites (Barriletes):** In some regions, particularly Santiago Sacatepéquez, colorful and intricate giant kites are constructed and flown. These kites are believed to guide the spirits of the deceased to the afterlife.
* **Music and Dance:** Traditional music, such as marimba and chirimía, is played, and dances are performed to celebrate the lives of the departed.
* **Spiritual Connection:** The Day of the Dead is a time for spiritual connection with ancestors. It is believed that the spirits of the deceased return to Earth to visit their loved ones.

**Mayan Influences:**

Mayan beliefs about the afterlife and the cyclical nature of life and death are deeply intertwined with the Day of the Dead celebrations. The Mayan concept of the underworld, Xibalbá, is often associated with the spirits of the deceased.

**Catholic Influences:**

The Catholic Church's All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, which fall on November 1st and 2nd, have blended with Mayan traditions to shape the modern Day of the Dead celebrations in Guatemala.

**Unique Aspects of the Guatemalan Highlands:**

The Guatemalan highlands, with their diverse indigenous cultures, offer unique expressions of the Day of the Dead. Each community may have its own specific customs and traditions, but the core elements of honoring the deceased and connecting with the spiritual world remain central.

The Day of the Dead in the Guatemalan highlands is a powerful and moving celebration that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. It is a time for families to come together, remember their loved ones, and honor the cycle of life and death.

Update: Help Us Finish Rebuilding Petrona's Home!
Donate Here: GoFundMe: gofund.me/d935bcc6

Petrona, who has lived in her home for 35 years, is deeply grateful to everyone who has supported her in the wake of the devastating fire. Your generosity has helped her start rebuilding her life and sense of security.

We’ve made great progress: the old adobe walls have been replaced with sturdy concrete block and are nearly complete. Up next, we are meeting with the roofer to weld a new roof frame and install metal lamina roofing. Petrona’s son, Mario, and his friend Ezekiel have been working tirelessly this week. Ezekiel is especially grateful for the work since his father is ill, and his family relies on his support.

We had a special visit from Antoine, a world traveler who heard about Petrona's story. While visiting San Pedro, he stopped by to lend a hand, and we truly appreciated his talent and expertise. It’s incredible to see people from all over come together to help.

Petrona is also adjusting to new ways to save money. She is learning to use a pressure cooker to prepare black beans, which will conserve gas compared to her traditional method of cooking over an open fire.

Our next steps include crafting and installing a secure metal front door and completing the roof frame. Once that is done, we will move Petrona’s kitchen and construct a new bathroom in that space. We hope to have enough funds to finish the bathroom, and we plan to donate some tile and use pool paint on the concrete walls to make every dollar count.

If you feel moved to help, please visit the GoFundMe link to contribute. For those who have already donated, know that you are appreciated every single day. We truly couldn’t have made it this far without your kindness and generosity. Blessings to you all.
