Day 2499: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Nelson Mandela

There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.- Nelson Mandela

 

It’s 12 : 30 PM on day 2499 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 3 John 1:11   have breakfast, and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised to $1 775 only $10 725 more to raise  by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot .

 

 

 

Today being Mandela Day – a day during which people all over the world spend 67 minutes of their time in service of others in honour of the late Nelson Mandela’s 67 years of service – and what would have been Mr. Mandela’s 99th birthday I can’t help feeling extremely privileged to have shared this planet with this extraordinary human if only for a short while I never got to meet him but his life taught me so much about forgiveness, humility, integrity and leadership. Happy 99th Birthday Tata Madiba you have left this planet but you will never leave my heart I strive every day to be the kind of human and citizen that God, my family, you and my Superhero Catherine Constantinides would be proud of.
