With big risk comes big reward or embarrassment – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 1994 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Hebrews 5,  learn one new thing –  All of the planets, except for Earth, were named after Greek and Roman gods and godesses. The name Earth is an English/German name which simply means the ground. It comes from the Old English words ‘eor(th)e’ and ‘ertha’. In German it is ‘erde’. – have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Susanchechi   donated $25, Reshma Jacob donated $50 and another chechi (who I think would prefer to remain anonymous) donated $50  (thanks  so much you guys your support  means the world to me ) which brings the total raised to  $3 162 only $3 088 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far   ).

Today I realized that with big risk comes big reward or embarrassment I tend to put myself out there and ask people for things that other people would be too embarrassed to ask for and sometimes it works out really well while other times I’m left red-faced either way I carry on secure in the knowledge that regardless of how the world responds I will survive and I will thrive.
