Everything’s going to be ok – that’s what I was reminded of today
It’s 4: 30 PM on day 3178 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – we’ve now raised $3 028 of $28 000 with 120 days to go
Today I feel like everything is going to be okay everything always works out as it should.
Nothing worth having is ever easy– that’s what I’ve realized
It’s 5: 57 PM on day 3177 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, spend time outside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – thanks to Anon’s $28 donation and SHIPRANSH AGRAWAL’s $100 donation we’ve now raised $2 3 028 of $28 000 with 121 days to go (got myself an extension).
Today I was reminded that nothing worth having is ever easy but is always worth fighting for
Talent is limitless – that’s what I’ve realized
It’s 11: 40 AM on day 3176 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, spend time outside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – thanks to Tanmay Bakshi’s $28 donation we’ve now raised $2 900 of $28 000 with 30 days to go
Recently I watched Kodi Lee’s amazing American’s Got Talent audition and I just had to share it. Take a look:
There’s great power in story so it’s important to share both our struggles and successes – that’s what I’ve realized
It’s 2: 38 PM on day 3175 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, spend time outside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – thanks to Anon’s $50 donation we’ve now raised $2 872 of $28 000 with 31 days to go
Today I was reminded that there’s great power in story so it’s important to share both our struggles and successes I know it’s tempting to share with the world only our successes but that would be disingenuous on our part – you know that before every pinnacle in your life there was a really low point – it’s important to share both your highs and lows so that those currently experiencing lows have something to hope for
The hardness of life is what make it so beautiful – that’s what I’ve realized
It’s 4: 18 PM on day 3174 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, spend time outside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – we’ve now raised $2 822 of $28 000 with 32 days to go
Today as I was screaming for our housekeeper to take me to pee (she was outside) I felt again the hardness of my own life -when going to the bathroom becomes an event you know things are atypical – I’ve been told many times we can put you in a diaper, maybe pee in a bedpan, we can put you on pills to stop your period and while I do appreciate the suggestions and know they are meant to help me I won’t wear a diaper (I know when I need to go and am capable of telling people so), I won’t use a bedpan and I most certainly will not take pills to stop my period…I will fight to the death to keep my dignity and autonomy over my body
Life is not a victory-only journey– that’s what I’ve realized.
It’s 6: 03 PM on day 3173 since I started blogging and I managed to pray and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – we’ve now raised $2 822 of $28 000 with 37 days to go –
Today I was reminded that life is not a victory-only journey we win some we lose more.
Periods of illness makes you appreciate health – that’s what I’ve realized.
Spend the whole day getting over my nausea and massive headache – it’s a Westlife and chill kinda day
This morning I wasn’t feeling so great thankfully I’m feeling better but this morning made me appreciate all the other days I was well
We miss a lot of things when we are preoccupied with our own lives.
Spend time with my people
Yesterday some people reminded me that while we are chasing our goals and dreams we can miss a lot of things mostly that people need us
“There can be no post-colonial Africa until there is a post-colonial Western Sahara.” – Lindiwe Sisulu
It’s 8: 17 PM on day 3170 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a bible verse and spend time with my nearest and dearest
Today is Africa Day and while I’m proud to be African and we have much to celebrate I would like to call attention once again to the illegal occupation of the Western Sahara by Morocco (can you imagine fleeing from war to what you thought would be a temporary refugee camp only to still be there 43 YEARS LATER?) the United Nations recognizes the Western Sahara as a country separate from Morocco but the referendum the UN promised in 1991 is yet to take place and why because Morocco has powerful allies at the UN. To the UN: I know for a fact that it does not take 28 YEARS to organize a referendum please I once again BEG of you put your selfish interests aside and think of the Saharawi children who are growing up in the blistering heat on the borders of Algeria with less than the basics.
Sometimes the love of life is not a feeling but rather a choice– that’s what I have realized
It’s 7: 08 PM on day 3169 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, spend time outside, work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – we’ve now raised $2 822 of $28 000 with 37 days to go – and go to physio.
Today I have many reasons not to love life but I’m choosing to love life if only for the mere fact that my family members, friends and I are alive and relatively healthy
