Own your accomplishments and be proud of who you are– that’s my message to myself and the world

It’s 10 :  54 AM on day 2236 of my journey towards independence and I managed to go to church,  read Matthew 10: 28   and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    – yesterday  Linda Mastroianni donated $25 (thanks SO MUCH Linda) which brings the total  raised to $8 161.04 only  $4 338.96 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 ).

Yesterday I realized that it’s okay to leverage my past accomplishments to get ahead in the present I was uncomfortable about doing that in the past but now I realize I would be foolish not to.
