Unless you make a conscious decision to define your challenges your challenges will end up defining you– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 11  PM on day 2109 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Ephesians 5: 25, have breakfast, learn one new thing – As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color — like grey, silver, or white — as it grows.-and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    – raised $5 910 only $340 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ).

Yesterday I decided to do something out-of-the-box I had our housekeeper write down $340 To Raise For Smile Train on a piece of paper after which I asked my brother to stick it on the side of my wheelchair and take a picture of it (to post on social media) and in so doing I sort of took what was supposed to be my biggest stumbling block and turned it into a stepping stone.
