“Oh, come on. It’s Monday, not doomsday.” – Unknown
It’s 1: 13 PM on day 2982 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray read a Bible verse and do some work
Last week I set some goals and today I will again be evaluating myself to measure my progress and I’ll be setting some goals for the coming week as well. Take a look:

Highlights of the Week
- Watching Superhero Catherine Constantinides’ speech at the World Youth Forum (I’m so thankful for the internet no matter where she is in the world I get to watch everything she does – it was the best 8 minute speech I’ve ever heard (I’m not just saying that because I have deep love for her) it was a fantastic speech about unity, diversity and active citizenship – Superhero made this SuperSidekick SO PROUD. You can watch her speech here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF-4fh9gMbQ&t=12761s )
- Seeing something that looked like a red butterfly rapidly flapping its wings – it was so special
- Really noticing and appreciating the Jacaranda Tree and purple flowers
- Superhero Catherine Constantinides sending me a picture of herself in front of a Mother Teresa Statue with a caption that read Dearest Nisha. This morning as the sun rose I went to the house where Mother Teresa was born. As i walked around this house which is now a monument&museum I thought of your beautiful heart and the way you touch humanity. Thank you for being YOU! – my Superhero just continues to win my heart (by most of the world I feel forgotten most of the time which is why it means SO SO SO MUCH to me to know My Superhero thinks of me no matter where she is in the world. Just WOW – what an EXTRAORDINARY HUMAN I get to call my Superhero #BLESSEDSoVeryBlessed
