Everybody has a story – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 12 : 05  PM on day 1828  of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, read Luke 28,    publish my Disability of the Day feature,  learn one new thing –In general, young salmon eat insects, invertebrates and plankton; adults eat other fish, squid, eels, and shrimp. Unlike all other salmon, the sockeye salmon has a diet that consists almost entirely of plankton. – and   promote my Educate Generations campaign – yesterday Catherine Cook donated $20 and today  Wayne Mansfield  donated $50 (thanks firstly to God [I knew you would show up for me I just didn’t expect it to be this fast LOL] and then to Catherine and Wayne thanks so much for the ongoing support you guys I know I’m a bottomless pit LOL but it’s for an amazing cause 🙂 ) which brings my total raised to $4 900 only $100 more needed to get to $5 000.

Yesterday I read Rethink Homelessness – a poignant blog post by Brent Lindeque about homelessness in South Africa – before reading that blog post I, like most people, assumed that all the homeless people and panhandlers I saw on the side of the road were either drug addicts, alcoholics or just plain lazy  I feel so bad about it because I was making assumptions about those people without knowing anything about them just like people often do to me I vow never again to judge people on the label that society puts on them.
