Superhero Catherine Constantinides and Team Deliver Food and Christmas Cheer

Catherine and her team spreading Christmas cheer

“Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.” — Thomas S. Monson

Yesterday and the day day before My Superhero Catherine Constantinides and her team fed and gave Christmas cheer to young and old in the Johannesburg area. Thank you to the volunteers and donors who helped make this two days happen and nd thank you to Azraa & Sameerah Satar (@thesatarsisters on Instagram) for capturing the photos you see in this post

Day 3007: The Most Important Things

Leave a reply

The most important things are not things – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 11: 27 AM on day 3007 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray and do some work

This festive season let’s be grateful for gifts that cannot be wrapped I’m grateful for God, health, family and friends. I learned this year that some people I would give my life for forget about me when I’m out of sight so my focus is on people who stayed when my life was painful

Day 2657: To Those Who Aren’t Feeling Very Festive

Leave a reply

I am only as happy as the saddest person on the planet– that’s what I know.

It’s 11 : 44 AM on day 2657 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Galatians 4:4-5 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised $5 506 only $6 994 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot .

Today I realized that although Christmas is a very happy time for me that’s not the case for everybody which makes me sad. For all those who have a hard time during the Festive Season I send you my love and warmest wishes. Please know you don’t have to pretend to feel a certain way however you feel is okay. You are loved. You are wanted. YOU MATTER!

“Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.” – Humphry Davy

You’ve succeed at Christmas if you can make someone feel like they matter– that’s what I’ve realized.

Remember those who feel unloved and forgotten this festive season– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 10: 28 AM on day 2285 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Isaiah 9: 6 have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –raised $9 261.04 only $3 238.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

This morning I read a post which reminded me that me that Christmas is not a happy time for some so I ask that all of us remember those who feel unloved and forgotten this festive season.
