The lives we live are other people’s dream – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 12: 19 PM on day 2288 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  have breakfast and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –raised $9 261.04 only  $3 238.96 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 ).

Recently I watched videos created by a man living in Aleppo he spoke of the fear and uncertainty of living in a warzone and I was overwhelmed by this feeling of (I feel guilty for even typing this)  gratitude for the fact that my family, friends and I were happy, heathy and safe (most of us forget how blessed we are even with all our challenges).
