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

As we near the end of 2024 it is again time to review the goals I set at the beginning of the year

My 2024 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]

2024 Goals in Review

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.  Raise at least R33 000 for Breath of Life and request that the government create a third category for baby havens so we can increase our numbers without anxiety  (Breath of Life is a place of safety for vulnerable babies here in my city I JUST LOVE THEIR WORK) [ Update: raised the amount and more – changing the law was unnecessary]
5. Take a classroom of kids to the movies for the first time [Update: Didn’t get to it]
6. Build a strong relationship with Abigail Boshoff [no comment]
