You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 20 PM on day 449 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  feed myself Corn Flakes for breakfast, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck –  feed myself a banana for lunch, take a nap – I’m not feeling well at all – and watch TV.

This morning as I looked out our dining room window at the beautiful trees and flowers in our yard I couldn’t help thinking how much I would miss South Africa when I’m in India don’t get me wrong I can’t wait to see my family over there it’s just that the people here are so nice whenever I go to the mall people come up to me and say you look very pretty today or smile my favorite moment was at church when this woman came up to me and my mom with her toddler and said I hope you don’t mind I wanted to expose my son to people who are different from an early age some of you may wonder why I wasn’t offended by that I wasn’t offended by that because exposure leads to education and education leads to the eradication of ignorance. Do you always think the grass is greener on the other side?

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
