For my LaRue folks! 🦅

We still have some openings for you to join us for ASL. If you work in the public, some basic sign language is a great skill to possess. Our instructor is excellent and has years of experience.

Check out this article from the News Enterprise in Elizabethtown, KY about the Elizabethtown Lions Club New Years Day Dash that benefitted Envision Blind Sports!

I’m a little late finding this article but it’s another great one about the impact Lions have, especially for our Envision athletes!

The Elizabethtown Lions Club officially kicked off 2026 with the New Year’s Day Dash 5K Run/Walk. Central Kentucky Race Management, a local company that organizes race day services for charities

👋 hey everyone!

🏃‍♀️ So my final push for fundraising is to be able to post a video during my race at each mile to thank a sponsor of that mile! Nothing would make me happier than giving shout outs to those I’m running this race for!

‼️ There’s only 7 slots!

🙏 help me finish fundraising for the race by choosing a mile to sponsor and making a $20 donation to Envision at the link below!

📣

I race to support the Envision Blind Sports athletes, especially my Kentucky athletes! Watching the athletes be able to conquer didn’t sports that they otherwise thought they couldn’t do is what gives me strength and courage to push myself to things I thought I could never do! I will never stop ...

Today students, TVI’s, and families came from across the state (Wayne County, Pulaski County, Powell County, Clark County, Jefferson County, Hardin County, Shelby County, and Meade County) to take a tour of the Bluegrass Lexington Airport with the wonderful Mr. Ron Hall! The kids were able to learn strategies, policies, and procedures to navigate and understand how to independently navigate an airport! We the were able to finish the day with lunch to socialize at the awesome, Black Type Brewing for some pizza!

Yall! Kelly talked about how wonderful our kids are! We already know that but oh my goodness what an honor!

Huge thanks to Kelly for the eye-tearing laughs and energy! Can’t wait to see her speak again ASAP!

Y’all… I just had the absolute honor of speaking for the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Vocational Services program — a room full of blind youth ages 14 to 22.

And listen… before I ever rolled my suitcase in the building, I had already written one million stories in my head:

“Kelly, this is gonna be hard.”
“They’re teenagers… they won’t laugh.”
“What on earth do you have to say that a 14-year-old boy cares about?”
“Should I just open with a TikTok dance?! Because that’s about all I’ve got left in the tank.”

But here’s the thing about stories — especially the ones we tell ourselves:
Most of them are flat-out wrong.

Because the second I stepped on that stage, those kids proved that humor and story don’t have an age limit, an eyesight requirement, or a barrier of any kind.
Story shows up, taps you on the shoulder, and says, “Scoot over, honey — connection’s sitting here.”

And these kids?
Smart. Funny. Insightful.
They see the world in a way most of us completely miss — which, if you ask me, is one heck of a superpower. Meanwhile I can’t even find my glasses and they’re already on top of my head.

I think I may have walked out with a brand-new fan club.
(And I’m absolutely down for a logo, matching jackets, and a secret handshake. Just tell me where to stand.)

Bonus joy? Some of my dearest speaker friends were there too, which was just icing on the storyteller cake… and trust me, I do not turn down icing.

What a day. What an audience. What a reminder that the stories we write BEFORE the story even begins are usually the ones holding us back.
