I am so happy I was chosen as one of the winners of this year’s (2016) 22nd Annual NJ Wordsmith competition. I am going to be honored with the other winners on June 18, 2016 at the South Brunswick public library. Also a woman at NAMI Mercer who is responsible for the newsletter Maddy Monheit did a story on page 4 of this June 2016 newsletter about me with a lovely photo of me in my fancy Sophia Loren eyeglasses I got at Walmart Vision Center in Princeton, NJ. I love the photo taken by Liz Hagen. I’m 35! I have been getting headaches and my ears hurt too from hearing my voices but I am doing pretty well despite that. In the newsletter it says Ayesha Karim: volunteer and poet. Oh it’s a dream come true for me. A dream I never knew I had but my dream came true. I’m so glad it did!
