Helen Adams Keller was born a healthy child, with no sign that her life would become a global symbol of perseverance. At 19 months, a severe illness left her both blind and deaf. The once lively little girl fell into silence and frustration, cut off from the world and with no way to express her feelings. For most people of her time, this meant a lifetime of isolation. But Helen’s story was destined to be different.

At age five, Anna Sullivan entered her life — a young teacher who had once faced blindness herself. With patience and extraordinary empathy, she opened the first door to knowledge for Helen.

The breakthrough came one morning when cool water flowed over Helen’s hand. Anna spelled the word “water” into her palm, and in a flash, the child connected sensation with language. Within hours she had learned dozens of words, soon verbs, and even the profound questions “why” and “what for?” By ten, Helen could communicate by the Tadoma method, feeling vibrations of speech with her hands, while Anna spelled into her palm. Later she mastered Braille in English, French, German, Greek, and Latin.

In 1904, at 24 years old, Helen graduated cm laude from Radcliffe College — the first deafblind person in history to earn a university degree. Despite her speech being almost incomprehensible to most, she had found her voice.

From the 1920s onward, Keller dedicated her life to advocacy. She joined the American Foundation for the Blind, traveled the globe nine times with Sullivan, raised funds, inspired millions, and spoke for the marginalized. Over her 87 years, she authored 14 books and became a beacon of courage to writers, scientists, leaders, and ordinary people alike. Her dear friend Mark Twain once said:
👉 “In the 19th century there were two truly great people — Napoleon and Helen Keller.”

Even as she climbed the Empire State Building in 1932, her reflection was profound:
✨ “The only thought that crossed my mind was gratitude to God for giving blind people a mind that can see. Now I know for certain, those who never looked into darkness cannot truly grasp what a gift sight is.”

Helen Keller’s life was not defined by disability, but by unshakable strength, intellect, and her refusal to surrender. She remains a timeless reminder that human potential has no limits. 💙

There is a fine line between “collecting” and clutter.
A rule I like to follow is: if it brings you joy, keep it – and if it has sentimental value, I get it – (that is a non-negotiable keep) but my mantra is, and will forever be… less is more.

So, when things become a burden, no place to put them, or collecting nothing but dust -that is a sure sign to let them go, give them away. (Inside out)

"Clutter is not just physical stuff, it's old ideas, toxic relationships and bad habits"
– Eleanor Brown.

If it needs a box to be stowed away in, you don’t need it.
If you haven’t worn it in years, you won’t wear it anytime soon.
If your shelves are full, and things are piling up or you can’t find something because there is too much, and you buy another, you need to purge.

There is clarity when you organize, clean and sort things out.
This helps us in more ways than what is visible.
A clear path to sanity is ridding ourselves of the clutter we once thought we needed to hold on to.

Frida Kahlo told her husband Diego:
"I'm not asking you to give me a kiss,
not to apologize to me when I think you've made a mistake,
I won't even ask you to hug me when I need it most,
I'm not asking you to tell me how beautiful I am even if it's a lie,
or to write me anything nice.
I'm not even going to ask you to call me
to tell me how your day was,
or to tell me you miss me.
I'm not going to ask you to thank me for everything I do for you,
or to worry about me when I'm down,
and of course, I'm not going to ask you to support me in my decisions, or even to listen when I have a thousand stories to tell you.
I'm not going to ask you to do anything, not even to be by my side forever.
Because if I have to ask you, then I don't want it anymore."

True love is not begged. It is felt, shown, lived.

- Frida Kahlo
