on the World Wide Web. This book also shows that a person does not have

October 31, 2006 ( Waldorf, MD ) ---Many friends of Reina Brown, the
site's designer and E-book writer, feel that this site is impressive and
well put together.
It s great to see that a blind person keeps trying no matter how many
challenges may surface, said Robert. (Name has been changed for privacy)
She is lighting
the path for many other blind people to come. Despite the seventy-five
percent unemployment rate of blind people in the United States, Reina is
determined
not to remain a statistic. She uses her many God-given talents to make a
way for herself, and I am proud of her.

I designed this site and wrote an E-book, says Reina, to share my
profession of candle making with others. I want others to know that it s
not a hard skill
to acquire and you don t have to spend countless time and money in order
to learn how to make a successful candle.

Reina is blind and has been for most of her life. She has had to
overcome many obstacles to prove to others that she has the right to
lead a normal life.
Finding successful employment has been tough for her: so, in order to
make ends meet, she has had to make her own way.

After losing her job on October 28, 2005 due to the local office
folding, a job that took six months for her to find, she had to revisit
a childhood dream
of wanting to be a candle maker. I can vividly remember being in the
fifth grade and receiving a candle making set from my mother for
Christmas, said Reina.
After playing with it and making some pretty decent candles, I made up
my mind that I wanted to be a candle maker when I grew up. However, when
I got older,
I thought of bigger and better things. That childhood dream was long
forgotten. But, after leaving one job due to unfair treatment and losing
my second
job to the local branch folding without warning, I was on my own once
again. Finding work is hard when you are blind. Many will not hire you
even if you
have the skill. Knowing this and having bills due in weeks time, I
revisited a dream I thought I d never come back to. And, it has been
what has supported
me.

Out of necessity, Reina had to master this skill of professional candle
making quite quickly. Though she did this as a hobby in her childhood,
making candles
with a professional touch that would appeal to the public was far
different. Spending an entire night and day without sleep on the
Internet, she set out
on her new money making adventure. On October 31, the very next day
after surfing the net and taking it all in, she bought supplies and
tested all she
learned. She was able to produce simple candles: however, the process
was long and time consuming. Within time though, she devised new and
simpler methods
to achieve her tasks.

I had to test so many things out, says Reina, but, after devising a
simple and easy-to-learn method, I was able to train my twelve-year-old
sister, who
was then eleven years of age, on how to make candles when I needed a
helper to prepare for my craft show. I found out at the last minute
which gave me
only one day to prepare. With enthusiasm, she absorbed what I showed her
and made the candles as I would make them! I was truly amazed!

So, to save many others time and money, Reina is eager to get this guide
into the hands of as many people as possible to show them that they can
develop
the skill for candle making without spending unnecessary time in classes
or spending excessive amounts of money on how to guides and equipment
while using
trial and error. I d hate for others to give up because they feel like
they are failing, she says. I want them to feel that they can succeed.
This is my
gift to them. I want to share my findings with others. And at the same
time, let the entire world know that the blind can too be successful.
