Praise with abandon and criticize sparingly – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 06 PM on day 483 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a boiled egg for breakfast, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice typing with both my hands, watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, upload a new banner to this blog and watch some more TV.

As you know I don’t take kindly to any sort of discrimination and I am quick to rip apart any person or company that discriminates but today I am taking the opportunity to thank Target – an American chain store – for using kids with Down Syndrome as models in their nationwide campaign and not making a big fuss about it … YAY Target (Note: I came across this story on Sun-Beams: January 8, 2012). Do you praise with abandon and criticize sparingly or criticize with abandon and praise sparingly?

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!
