“The noblest art is that of making others happy.” -P.T. Barnum
It’s 11: 52 AM on day 3029 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work
Recently I watched The Greatest Showman – a movie musical loosely based on the origins of the circus – aside from the fact that it was factually inaccurate I loved the cinematography and the songs of the movie – it was truly a feast for the senses.

Thanks Julie for sending me the movie
“Is what I do important? Does it matter? I don’t really do much other than working, and caring for my family and friends.
God: If anything matters, than everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes. Every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes. With every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished, and nothing will ever be the same again.”
― William Paul Young, The Shack
It’s 12 : 17 PM on day 2420 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Proverbs 13: 12 and learn a new word – Definitions for diacritic

Yesterday I watched The Shack – a movie starring Sam Worthington, Olivia Spencer and Tim McGraw – it’s a moving tale of a man’s journey to faith, redemption and forgiveness of self and others I don’t cry a lot about anything but by the end of the movie both mom and I had tears running down our cheeks I LOVED the movie and would recommend it to every Christian in the world.
Nothing you enjoy doing is a waste of time – that’s what I keep realizing.

Yesterday my sister and I watched Blended – a funny and heartwarming movie about the hardships of blending two families (starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore) – I really liked the movie it’s perfect on days when you just want to switch off your brain and escape into another world.

“Our fingerprints never fade from the lives we touch.” – Tyler, Remember Me
It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 1755 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Zachariah 5, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – Magenta was named after the Italian town of Magenta, where Napoleon III claimed victory over Austria in 1859. The newly discovered color was the shade of the blood spilled at the battle. – and promote my Educate Generations campaign – Vincent Ang owner of OArtTee, a company that creates printed original art fashion t-shirts, donated $18 yesterday which brings my total raised to $3 253 (thanks Vincent).
Yesterday I watched Remember Me – a movie about two damaged people coming together only to be torn apart by a tragic event in recent history – it was a beautiful yet tragic movie I love a good love story.
Truth is stranger than fiction – that’s what I keep realizing.
It’s 12 : 52 PM on day 1373 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, feed myself bran flakes for breakfast, read Psalm 60, publish my Disability of the Day feature, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on $839.54 – practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and stretch my hamstrings.
Yesterday I watched The Color of Rain – a movie based on a non-fiction book about two people coming together and creating a family after losing their spouses to cancer – and loved it because it is a reminder to all of us that we can come through even the most tragic situations stronger and happier than we were before. Watch The Color of Rain below:
You never know where you’re next lesson is going to come from – that’s what I learned today 🙂
It’s 8: 02 PM on day 356 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to publish my Kid of the Week feature, brush my teeth, feed myself chicken nuggets and scrambled eggs for brunch, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck other than the donation Shasta (@outrageousblog)– thanks Shasta 🙂 – chatted to Bonnie on Facebook – she is an AMAZING woman – tweet about my campaign some more–I tweeted stats and videos still no luck– chat to my cousin on Skype feed myself steamed vegetables for dinner, brush my teeth once more and continue to chat with my cousin on Skype.
Last night I was watching Never Say Never on the laptop in candlelight – the whole town was plunged into darkness – and there was this one particular scene in the movie where Justin Bieber was on stage singing where he looked like he owned the world and in that moment I realized that for him singing wasn’t about the money or the fame it was about doing what he loves and making other people happy at the same time which I could totally relate to because that’s how I feel when I write – when I write I have no concept of time or space all I feel is peace – why am I telling you this because I believe that everybody has a stage – somewhere where they can do what they love and make other people happy at the same time. Have you ever learned something very important from someone you least expected?
