Day 354

The show must go no matter what– that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 33 PM on day 354 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, make some sandwiches on behalf of Virginia’s Sandwich Run with the help of our housekeeper– I was sticky and messy by the end of it but it was for a good cause 🙂 – feed myself an avocado sandwich for brunch, prepare my Kid of the Week feature for Sunday, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – feed myself grilled chicken for dinner and watch TV.

As many of you know my family has been going through a rough patch of late – first my brother was hospitalized and then almost a week later my grandma (she has now been moved to a rehab center) – and because of that I put making sandwiches for our housekeeper’s neighborhood – if you have no idea what I’m talking about refer to Virginia’s Sandwich Run – on hold but this week I realized that me sitting here not helping people wasn’t helping anyone least of all my grandma who I haven’t see in four weeks – I asked my father to take me but as per usual he said no I still can’t understand how a father can be ashamed his child because she has a medical condition – so today I am going to make sandwiches in honour of both sets of my grandparents – both my grandmothers are still alive – Virginia, Joseph uncle – my father’s friend who died a couple of years ago – Brennan and Rachel. Do you stop your life when something unexpected happens?

Your perception of your life and not the circumstances of it will be the difference between success and failure– that’s what I learned today.

It’s 7: 31 PM on day 353 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – feed myself an avocado sandwich for breakfast, tweet about my campaign some more–still no luck I keep reminding myself that I’m doing this for the kids whose names I don’t know– feed myself rice and curry for lunch, exercise for a while, watch TV, feed myself steamed vegetables for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Last night laying in bed I remembered my cousin’s – sorry chechi (chechi in my native tongue of Malayam has one of two meanings it either means elder sister or elder female cousin) you know I love you – Facebook status which read Justin Bieber, who is not out of his diapers yet and still breastfeeding DRIVES A FERRARI!!! could someone just shoot me now please ….NO JUSTICE!! arrrrgh!!! and I thought why can’t people look at someone who has less than them and just be grateful because let’s face it although most of us are not as wealthy as Justin Bieber we are still a whole lot better off than the people who live in Somalia or Sudan. Do you constantly compare yourself with people who have more than you and feel less than as a result?

Blessed are innovators because they find solutions to their own problems while creating opportunities for others – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 25 PM on day 350 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, make a donation on behalf of Cindy (@notjustagranny)– she made a donation to my PayPal account yesterday and asked me to donate it to my campaign (Note: If you’re going to make a donation to my campaign via PayPal please attach a note that reads please donate this to your campaign) –prepare my Sponsors of my Campaign page – (read the next paragraph to understand what I’m talking about) the page will be published right after I’m done here –tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck other than the donation that Cindy made yesterday – feed myself an avocado sandwich for breakfast, watch TV, tweet about my campaign some more–still no luck– feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch some more TV, feed myself tapioca and fish curry for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Ever since the inception of my campaign I’ve been emailing big companies such as Twitter for sponsorship only now I realize that by doing that I was closing myself off to another demographic – ordinary people who want to make a difference and get some publicity for the things they care about – and to remedy that I am going to create a page on this blog – Sponsors of my Campaign – where you can post anything you wish – except for videos containing violence and pornography and adverts glamorizing smoking, drinking or gambling – for a donation of $20 or more to my campaign. Here’s how this is going to work: you will make the donation of $20 or more to my campaign, email me whatever you want to post at adventuresofme@hotmail.co.za (Note: The subject line of the email must read I want to be a sponsor) and if it does not contain anything mentioned above I will gladly post it for you (Note: All postings will be taken down after a month unless another donation of $20 or more is made). Are you an innovator?

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced. – Swami Vivekananda

It’s 8: 40 PM on day 338 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself an avocado sandwich for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – do research on helping kids lose weight–I feel really guilty for the shape that my brother’s in right now I feel like if I played with him outside like I did when I was younger he wouldn’t be so out of shape maybe I’ll do that this weekend–have no idea what I’m talking about read the next paragraph – tweet some more about my campaign some more –still no luck –watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, continue reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini watch TV, steamed vegetables for dinner and bush my teeth once more.

As you know I love social media Facebook, Twitter etc because people can’t see me and therefore don’t judge me by my disability but this weekend I am going to be totally off the social media grid i.e. there won’t be any manual Facebook postings or tweets from me all for the idea of equality – I want to raise the remaining $1 901.10 that I need to build a well in Africa/India or get close to it by means of this fundraiser – special thanks to Stacey over at My Lifestyle Max who wrote a blog post called How To Put “First Things First” – And Reclaim The Life You Love which inspired me to do this – here’s how this is going to work –if you want to help out – you will tweet me –@Nisha360 – over the weekend I pledge – however much you wish to donate – to your campaign and do as such. Do you have an idea that you live by?
