Day 2872: The Counterintuitive Way of Filling Emptiness

The emptiness some of the world feels is actually a self-centeredness that  can only be remedied through giving – that’s my message to the world

 

It’s 9 : 00 AM on day 2872 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work

 

Recently I found myself thinking we spend money we don’t have buying things we don’t need all in search of life’s meaning which can only be attained through giving… ironic maybe just maybe things can’t fulfill us maybe what we seek is connection with humanity gained through genuine altruism

Day 267

If you can get paid for doing what you love, every paycheck is a bonus. – Oprah Winfrey

It’s 7: 00 PM on day 267 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a polony sandwich for breakfast watch TV, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck I have to try something different prayer, sponsorship etc because it’s obvious that social media won’t carry me to the finish line :(– feed myself pasta and sauce for dinner, watch some more TV and brush my teeth once more.

Yesterday Bonnie (@Bonnie67) sent me a Facebook message which said in part I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but when I read your blogs they make me smile and laugh. Reason being is because of my right arm being fracture twice and the bone thinning plus arthritis in it and it shakes all the time. I have trouble opening things and our kids want to do it open whatever I’m trying to open. I look at them and say I’m not helpless. Just knowing I’m not the only one going through things like this makes it so much easier to cope. Because others don’t understand what you’re going through. and when I read that I couldn’t help feeling as though I had succeeded in my life because although I REALLY appreciate the money I make from this blog the reason I started blogging in the first place was to share my life and make people feel less alone. Is your paycheck a bonus or the only reason you show up for work in the morning?

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!
