Day 480

Everything is part of a bigger plan…nothing happens at random – that’s what I learned today 🙂

it’s 7: 52 PM on day 480 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to watch TV, brush my teeth, drink pineapple juice – from a glass – by myself, try to add a custom header on this blog made for me by my friend, Margot – I gave her the wrong size by mistake and now it doesn’t fit – prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself rice and curry for lunch and read Love That Max, Chasing Rainbow and Bird on the Street.

Today I looked back on my twenty five days in India and realized that going to a country where there is so much stigma around disabled people and having to say to people there’s nothing wrong with me every time they pitied me has made me more confident than ever in myself. Do you walk in faith believing that everything that happens is for the best or question every experience?

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!

    For me I’ve to say it depends because the way my
    arms shake I look like a person coming off of a day
    drinking. Most times I hide my arms because of the
    staring people. If I don’t and people stair i’ll try and
    explain to them what is wrong. But it is hard to explain
    that the doctors tell you it is in your head. Its real but
    Its some thing your body can’t control.

    I know it’s hard but try to ignore the staring people and be the best you can be every day. Sometimes I feel alone in the world but I carry on knowing that God is with me 🙂

    Yours truly,
