“Fear is how you lose your life…a little bit at a time…What we give to fear, we take away from…faith.” ― Mitch Albom, The First Phone Call from Heaven

It’s 1  : 20  PM on day 1436 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,pray, finish reading The First Phone Call from Heaven by Mitch Albom, read Psalm 124,    stretch my hamstrings,  practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, publish my Disability of the Day feature,   feed myself All Bran Flakes with banana  for breakfast and listen to music – I LOVE “Superheroes” by The Script I can’t be sure but I think the music video was shot  in a South African township I was so moved that one of the most famous bands in the world would bring their music to people who might not otherwise have a chance to hear it.

This morning I finished reading The First Phone Call from Heaven by Mitch Albom – a novel about the chaos that ensues after residents of Coldwater, Michigan report receiving phone calls from heaven – I loved the messages in the book about love, fear and faith but the story that tied all those messages together wasn’t that amazing.
