“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
It’s 8: 49 AM on day 1935 of my journey towards independence prayed, read 2 Corinthians 1 and listened to music.
Today is the first year of 2016 and in honour of that (yep you guessed it) I created a 2016 To-Do List. Take a look:
2016 To-Do List
- Raise $6 250+ for Smile Train ($6 250 will pay for 25 cleft lip/palate surgeries [in honour of my 25th year of life]) (I will probably start the fundraising campaign later this month) (surpassed goal of sponsoring 25 smiles through my 25 Smiles Campaign now attempting to sponsor 50 smiles before Jan 10 2017)
- Be respectful, kind, honest and generous (Am trying to be)
- Call my godparents once a month (Have called them every month I didn’t see them)
- Learn one new thing every day (doing it)
- Continue trying to finish reading The Bible (done on April 20, 2016)
- Continue to make sandwiches for sisi’s (our housekeeper’s) neighbourhood as part of Virginia’s Sandwich Run (doing it)
- Read 20+ books (read 6 books so far)
- Self-publish my book Life: My thoughts on everything from faith to beauty
- Support myself financially
