The Smiling Lady: Pohiri

“There are one or two shops I can’t get into, so it’s the little things we need to think about - like how we can maintain accessibility for everyone. For example, there’s a Christmas competition running at the moment where you scan a QR code. I thought it was on the shop window - great! But then I found out you actually had to go in-store, and that’s not easy when you’re in a wheelchair.

Anyway, I won two $50 vouchers for a shop. They had some cute things, like a puzzle of a wooden teddy bear, and I thought, Ooh, that’s really cute! But I’m just not sure what to buy!

There’s too much negativity in the world, so we need to start appreciating ourselves. When we begin to value ourselves, there will be more smiles in the world, and all the happiness will come back to us.”
