I'm ok but I'm not ok. Thieves broke into my place&stole my TV, decoder, laptop&other items. When they came inside my bedroom I looked at them & they told me not to scream or make noise. What a confusing moment. I'm now dealing with "what if" but I'm thankful for God's protection
Most important to my heart is the Global Disability Summit which will be happening soon. Let me push my energies on matters that concern me as Person With A Disability Building a legacy for the younger generation with disabilities
