#144 16 find this inspirational
I was very young when I became pregnant. I was abandoned, became homeless and had no job. Friends and strangers from the neighborhood paid for food and a place for me to stay until I could pay for those things myself. My daughter is 25 yrs old now. I am forever grateful, they saved my life and hers

#148 Jessica will die in a few days from a cancerous brain tumor, she is 8 years old.

#76 Winter, 3 am, me shivering on hard berth of an empty Indian Railways train on a siding. Footsteps. A stranger comes up. Leaves. The ticket inspector Was I busted? He returned with a warm blanket, tucked me in, left. Never saw his face. Next morning, I was at the Buddha’s birthplace, Lumbini.

#70 I am an animal rescuer. I rescue dogs and cats from high kill shelters in Los Angeles county and do what I can to find them new homes. I am a firm believer in what Mahatma Gandhi said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
#58 Old couple attended the Dalai Lama’s teaching. Next day, husband asked me to take care of his wife since he could not go. I did so. To express thanks they invited me to a private meeting w/the Dalai Lama. My dream came true from strangers. I cried for 20 min after being w/him. They were his friends.
#53 Our puppy, Emaho escaped the yard and ran to the ocean (foreign territory) She swam miles. Two sailors thought they saw a seal and found her struggling, about to drown. One put her under his sweater and then took her home until I could be found. Their cat sat beside her and comforted her.
