“Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, what do I want to do every day for the rest of my life…do that.” – Gary Vaynerchuk

It’s 11: 50  AM on day 2172 of my journey towards independence and I managed to   pray, have breakfast, read Isaiah 6:3, learn one new thing – Yes, birds have knees (they’re often under the feathers and not easily visible), and they bend the same way our knees bend. The part of a bird’s legs that bends backwards when it walks is the ankle. –   and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –   raised $7 475 only  $5 025 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ) .

Recently I was reading my old Bucket List that I created in 2009 and although I didn’t meet the people I wanted to meet (Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama) I did do #1 (To raise $4 500 for The Water Project Inc through my Clean Water for All Campaign) and I am trying to do #10 (To be healthy and happy for the rest of my life)  and #11 (To be able to give every day for the rest of my life) it feels good to know that after all these years I have stayed true to my life’s purpose.
