Day 287

If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ~ Mother Teresa

It’s 7: 32 PM on day 287 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself Chapati and beef curry for breakfast, listen to music, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, exercise for fifteen minutes while watching TV, brush my teeth once more –a guest was arriving and I didn’t want to occupy the bathroom while he was here – start preparing My Book Shelf – a page on this blog which consists of all the books I remember reading over the course of my twenty year life – and tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – I woke up to find that Bonnie (@bonnie67) made a donation – seven kids most of who have disabilities and she still managed to find the money to make a donation I’ll never get over it – thank you SO much Bonnie 🙂

Yesterday we had some company over at our house and quite unusually I wasn’t lost in thought thinking she probably feels sorry for me while she was talking to me and as a result before she left she handed me R50 and told me to make more sandwiches on her behalf – I had mentioned that I was making sandwiches for our housekeeper’s neighborhood during our conversation – which surprised me considering I didn’t even ask for a donation. Is your inability to connect with people solely due to the fact that you’re constantly judging them?

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!

Fairest and best adorned is she whose clothing is humility. – James Montgomery

It’s 7: 01 PM on day 260 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck – read Jude: The Diary of a baby and a stroke and visit Emily’s Smile Boxes – there is a tie that binds both the blog and website which I didn’t initially know about Jenn who writes the blog is also the mother of Emily – the founder of Emily’s Smile Boxes 🙂 – feed myself a polony sandwich for breakfast, watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch some more TV and feed myself banana for dinner.

As you know I am very independent in spirit which is why I find it extremely difficult to ask people for help in any aspect of my life but today I realized that even superheroes need help once in a while so I am asking you with the upmost humility to write about my campaign on your blog or website (see guidelines below).Do you fear asking for help because you are afraid of becoming co-dependent?

Your post must include:

An introductory paragraph about how you came to know of me and my campaign and just below it you should copy and paste Who I Am – a blog post I wrote introducing myself.

There’s more than one way to be of service – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 8: 30 PM on day 242 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours –no luck – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, tweet about my campaign some more – no luck – watch TV, feed myself custard for dinner, brush my teeth once more and continue to tweet about my campaign – still no luck 🙁 –

Today I logged onto my Facebook account with the hopes that I could log off as soon as I was done answering a few messages but as you know life doesn’t always go according to plan Anthie – an Indonesian mother who has a son with Cerebral Palsy – started an impromptu chat with me and as I was advising her on what she should and should not do with her son I felt like God was smiling down on me and decided that I would make myself available to people and families affected by Cerebral Palsy because at the end of the day it’s all about paying it forward. How do you use the circumstances of your life to be of service to others?

It is sweet to serve one’s country by deeds, and it is not absurd to serve her by words. – Sallust

It’s 8: 11 PM on day 241 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a chicken hotdog for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours –no luck this morning but Galen – an adoptive mother of TEN kids with special needs – made a donation yesterday evening – I love you Galen you give new meaning to the word SPECTACULAR 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch TV, tweet about my campaign some more – still no luck 🙁 –and brush my teeth once more.
