Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi. – Oprah Winfrey

It’s 8: 07 PM on day 272 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, publish my Kid of the Week feature, feed myself scrambled eggs and ketchup for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck 🙁 – go to my ten-year-old niece’s birthday party – it was as fun as I expected it to be but you know what being part of a family means you show up for each other 🙂 – watch TV, feed myself a chicken nugget sandwich for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

As you know I have recently become obsessed with reading other people’s blogs and since I believe that things are better when you share them I would like to take things opportunity to share with you my favorite blogs. Take a look:

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

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!
