It’s 12 : 13 PM on day 1728 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Obadiah 1, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, feed myself bran flakes with banana for breakfast, learn one new thing –Supercilious [su·per·cil·i·ous] adj. 1. Full of contempt and arrogance. 2. Behaving as if or showing that a person thinks they are better than other people, and that their opinions, beliefs or ideas are not important, condescending. “He spoke in a haughty, supercilious voice.”– and promote my Educate Generations campaign– Madalyn Sklar, creator and host of the #TwitterSmarter podcast, donated $20 yesterday (thank you so much Madalyn you’re awesome I will be listening to your podcast can’t wait for the great shows you have coming up 🙂 ) which brings the total raised to $3 045 so grateful to everyone that has helped out (thanks guys).
