Hello, and welcome to Adapting Daily: Walking My Camino.

I never imagined I would be writing a blog like this — about adapting daily to life with low vision, a body transformed by cancer treatment, and a heart still full of adventure. Yet here I am, stepping forward, one day at a time, walking my own unique “Camino.”

My path has been marked by challenges: the aftermath of throat cancer, living with peripheral neuropathy and loss of taste, and the journey of adjusting to vision loss. Yet, even in the face of these realities, I still love to backpack, fly fish, bake, stitch, and write. These passions may look different now, but they are still very much alive — and so am I.

This blog is where I’ll share that journey. I will talk about what it’s like to rediscover the outdoors with new tools and perspective, how baking can still delight without taste, how needlework connects me to texture and memory, and how writing helps me make sense of it all.

I’m here to tell the truth — about grief, about adaptation, about humor, about unexpected joys. If you are walking your own difficult path, know that you are not alone. I hope you’ll find some inspiration, companionship, or at the very least, a few stories worth reading.

Thank you for walking with me.

Buen Camino,

Glenn Minervini-Zick
