Day 2546: The Best Pick Me Up

The best pick me up is to pick someone else up– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 2 : 06 PM on day 2546 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Psalm 5:12, have breakfast, promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised to $3 290 only $9 210 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot – and spend time with family.

Yesterday I was feeling lousy and so I opened my Skype directory, picked a name and called someone just to say I was thinking of her and that I hope she having a good evening it lifted my mood considerably (the next time you need a pick me up try picking someone else up – it works every single time).

Day 2486: Build Relationships

Leave a reply

Build relationships they last longer than things– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 29 PM on day 2486 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Galatians 5:13, have breakfast and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised to $1 600 only $10 900 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot .

Recently I’ve realized most people acquire things while I find immense joy in building relationships with people from different walks of life I read somewhere that one’s 20’s is about building relationships and networks I’m finding that to be so true.

Day 1798: Being the one who who falls first

Leave a reply

“You know it’s never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It’s always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride.”― Jodi Picoult, Mercy

It’s 1: 15 PM on day 1798 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Mark 2, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, have breakfast, learn one new thing –Lions have terrific night vision. They are 6 times more sensitive to light than humans. This gives them a distinct advantage over some prey species when hunting at night. – and promote my Educate Generations campaign – $4 541 raised so far (thanks so much for your support everyone 🙂 ).

Recently I’ve realized that in all my relationships I’m always the one going the extra mile I’ve tried to hold back just to see if people would come a little more than halfway to meet me but that’s not me I’m an all or nothing kind of girl and I’m fine with the fact that I’ll always be the one giving more in all my relationships because I truly do love all the people in my life.

Day 1608: Is it time to call it quits on your relationship?

2 Replies

When people start subtracting from your joy, peace and happiness instead of adding to it it’s time to exit the relationship with maturity – that’s what I realized this morning.

It’s 12 : 10 PM on day 1608 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, chat to my gran on Skype, read Jeremiah 25, feed myself Uppumavu with chickpea curry and a banana for breakfast, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – February is the only month that can pass without a single Full Moon – promote my Educate Generations campaign– $1 770 raised so far so grateful

This morning I was tweeting with someone about something that was going in her life and I tweeted in part If people don’t respect you or make it their priority to contribute positively to ur life they dont deserve to be in it which is true when people start subtracting from your joy, peace and happiness instead of adding to it it’s time to exit the relationship with maturity life’s too short why spend it with people who make you miserable and bring out the worst in you.

Day 1278: Do you pay attention to those who ignore you and ignore those who pay attention to you?

Leave a reply

Pay attention to those who pay attention to you– that’s what I realized this morning.

It’s 12 : 18 PM on day 1278 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Job 12, publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings, make sandwiches for our sisi’s neighborhood with sisi’s help as part of Virginia’s Sandwich Run (thank you sisi for all your help) and promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still in search of donor number 17 I know that there are people out there who care that people are dying unnecessarily of AIDS I just need to find those people.

This morning I realized that I should pay attention to those who pay attention to me I have this tendency of paying attention to those who ignore me and ignoring those who pay attention to me I don’t why but I’m going to try and stop doing that people who want to have a relationship with me are going to have to put at least as much effort into it as I do. Do you pay attention to those who ignore you and ignore those who pay attention to you?

Day 1154: The link between appreciation and good relationships

Leave a reply

Lack of appreciation can damage relationships beyond repair– that’s what I learned today.

It’s 1 : 33 PM on day 1154 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, feed myself Bran Flakes for breakfast, read 2 Kings 12, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, go to church, register to vote in next year’s elections – I have a dirty little secret I’ve been eligible to vote in the last two elections and I didn’t vote (don’t judge) reading Conversations With Myself by Nelson Mandela made me realize how much people have sacrificed so that I can have the right to vote the registration process didn’t take that long and aside from needing my sister to help me sign my name at the bottom of the registration form everything went swimmingly – and go visit people.

Today something happened that made me realize lack of appreciation is the number one cause of the breakdown of relationships all people want to know is that you notice and appreciate what they do for you and when that doesn’t happen things don’t end well. Are you appreciative of the things people do for you?

Day 288

You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. – Dr. Phil C. McGraw

It’s 8: 35 PM on day 288 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck 🙁 – read Love That Max and Ryn’s Tale Book of Days: Livin to the point of tears – my goodness there are some FANTASTIC parents out there 🙂 – watch TV while feeding myself an egg sandwich for brunch, watch some TV while exercising, publish My Book Self – a new page on this blog which will feature all the books that I can remember reading over the course of my twenty year life – feed myself rice and curry for dinnerand brush my teeth once more.

Yesterday evening while I was editing and adding new books to My Book Shelf I couldn’t help but notice that all but four of the books that I had ever read were romance novels and in that moment I had an epiphany I was looking for love in guys – both fictional and real – because I did not feel loved by father and to remedy that I told myself what I wished my father had told me you’re beautiful I am so proud of you. Are you in denial about what you need?

Day 283

Being a parent is about allowing your children to be who they truly are– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 8: 58 PM on day 283 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself an egg sandwich for breakfast, read Love That Max, Chasing Rainbow and Outrageous Fortune – the first two blogs I read I’ve read a few times while I had never even heard of the third although I have to admit it was really heart-warming to read about this woman’s appreciation of her husband before I read that post I really thought that marriage was just another form of imprisonment but after reading that I’m beginning to change my mind 🙂 – watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck but I am hopeful because someone promised to make a donation later today 🙂 – feed myself grilled fish, potatoes and salad for dinner, and brush my teeth once more.

Today after my brother left for school in tears my mother came into my room and said I should stop asking him what J’s – his friend’s – marks are maybe that’s why he’s sad and in that moment I was SO angry that I said you love your children for what they can do and not who they are to which she responded if that was true I wouldn’t love you which suffice to say hurt my feelings. Do you love your children for who they truly are or for what they can do to bolster your image in society’s eyes?

Day 265

You should be yourself at any cost – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 17 PM on day 265 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself Oats for breakfast, publish my Kid of the Week feature, open a packet of chips –three days in a row – I am SO happy 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck but on the plus side Bonnie (@bonnie67) did write about my campaign in her latest blog post – thanks Bonnie 🙂 – feed myself chocolate muffins for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Yesterday lying on my bed waiting to fall asleep I remembered something my mother had said to me moments earlier aunty L (that’s what we’re going to call her for the purpose of this blog) said she only wanted to talk to you and not us and I was just wondering if that was because she read the stuff you wrote on your blog to which I gave no response and she continued please don’t write about the fights that go on in this house… it’s embarrassing and you know what I have to say to that life is not a fairytale and although you can make me a virtual prisoner in my own home you cannot make me edit myself just to make you look good. Are you willing to change yourself at the drop of a hat just because other people don’t like what you say or do?

Day 259

Rules are a cautious person’s excuse for not participating in life – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 15 PM on day 259 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck – read and leave comments on Connor’s Song and A Deaf Mom Shares Her World – both very inspirational blogs about life, love and overcoming the odds 🙂 – feed myself a polony sandwich for breakfast, watch TV, email Kidz – a disability website – my story – holding thumbs that they’ll publish it 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch some more TV, feed myself Pizza for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Today I stumbled onto an article called 30 Things A Woman Should Not Try Before 30 and while I did agree with some of the things on that list I believe that rules are highly overrated so I say live your life the way you want to as long as you don’t hurt yourself or anybody else in the process because at end of the day the best things in life are unplanned. Have you sucked all the fun out of your life by walking around with a checklist in the back of your mind?
