The week that was 20190727

And so another amazing week to reflect on, comes to an end. Here's an overview of things that I am proud and grateful for, main things I learnt, cool quotes I saw, an overview of books finished and something that has made me giggle. How has your week been? 

PROUDEST | MOST GRATEFUL MOMENT

I am grateful for new connections and friendships. The week started with a great conversation with Carolynn Chalmers, Corporate and IT Governance specialist. The red wine and fireplace was an added bonus! 

Monday evening I attended our Rotary Club of Newlands weekly meeting. I am so grateful and proud to be a Rotarian. The Club is involved with such inspiring projects. I am especially proud of the most recent project that was launched on Friday. Our Club (specifically Graham Finlayson and John Winship who invested many many hours) was integrally involved with the building of the Eyethu Skate Park in Hout Bay. Well done to all the Rotary Clubs, Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages and the City of Cape Town!

Three of the Cape Town team members live in Hout Bay, so I was thrilled and grateful to attend the  Eyethu Skate Park launch. It is always so wonderful to catch up with the team, I am so grateful and proud of them! 

I am rather chuffed and proud that I have made it to Gold on Discovery Vitality in less than a year of joining. [So thankful for Ashleigh's tip of going to Clicks to do a health check, that got me the necessary points to go up the level] 

So grateful for this morning's parkrun with Lauren! What a fun morning! Am in fact also rather proud becuase we ran slightly further after the parkrun.

Had a fabulous lunch with Mark and Bella. The weather has cleared up and it was absolutely delightful to have lunch at the local pub. So grateful to spend time with these two.

BIGGEST LESSON THIS WEEK 

Miserable people are unlikely to change, best is to spend time with people that inspire and uplift you.

The second thing that I learnt, was "The Secret Love Project" I have always wondered what the heart signs around the City was all about. Here's a bit more info:

"The Secret Love Project is a registered charity (PBO# 930063541) and non-profit company that offers the homeless a lifeline out of poverty and a fresh path to re-integration into society. Every month we give out 10,000 FREE heart sticker packs to over 100 registered sellers, who sell them to motorists at R20 each and keep 100% of the sale. This puts R200,000 a month (R2,4million/year) into the hands of the most needy in our community."

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

I actually saw quite a few that resonated with me this week.
Saw this one at the SARS offices:

Spotted at the False Bay College in Tokai:

Can't remember where I saw this one, just really like it:

THIS WEEK I FINISHED READING...

Two things, how on earth was this allowed to happen? Why is nothing being done to take action?
