“Make measurable progress in reasonable time.” – Jim Rohn

As we near the end of 2023 it is again time to review the goals I set at the beginning of the year

My 2023 Life Purposes and Goals in Review

My Life’s Purposes

1. Fill the world with kindness and love [did my best]
2. Make a difference – level the playing field for people who were born with the cards stacked against them [did my best]
3. Change perceptions about differently-abled people [did my best]

2023 Goals

1. Continue to be kind, honest, generous, grateful, loyal and filled with wonderment
2. Every day be the best SuperSidekick to Superhero Catherine Constantinides (she’s the best, most hardworking real-life Superhero I’ve ever met she totally deserves me forever  and no matter what else I’m doing in life I will always be here for her)
3. Maintain and strengthen my deep friendship with Michelle Rielly  
4. Sign up 5-10 cot guardians for Breath of Life  and additionally  raise at least R32 000 (Breath of Life is a place of safety for vulnerable babies here in my city I JUST LOVE THEIR WORK) [raised more than R32 000 but the cot guardians plans changed]
