Never be ashamed of the things you do to make a difference – that’s what I learned yesterday 🙂

It’s  4  : 10 PM on day 989 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Deuteronomy 6,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, put on a jacket, stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles,  feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, email, tweet and Facebook about my campaign –  still no luck  – and  practice typing with both hands.

Yesterday during a phone call my mom found out that I in not so many words asked a relative of ours to make a donation to my anti-slavery campaign suffice to say she was embarrassed after the call ended she came to me and said more like a question than a statement you sent them an email too to which I answered yes I did none of the money goes to me it’s not like I’m using the money to buy drugs  usually if my parents asked me if I asked someone to donate to one of my campaigns I would lie and say something like they stumbled across the link to my page purely because I didn’t want to get into it with them at that precise moment but yesterday I realized that I should never be ashamed of the things I do to make a difference.    Are you sometimes shamed for doing what you need to do to make a difference?
