I am grateful that we have met...

As I prepare for yet another interview tomorrow, I began thinking about those of you I have met while I was working in my last job in SA. I really feel grateful that I have met each of you. I still remember one of the last thing one of you said to me was 'Anita, you have done so much for us, you have no idea how you have change our lives. There is nobody else like you in this place.' I would say the same for all of you, that you have no idea how much you have changed my world.

To the anti-psy artist, I thank you for showing me strong belief in yourself and teaching me what true client centredness means,

To the ice cream man, I thank you for your laughter and your positivity despite you are in trouble, I so wished, still wish I could pull you out from the deep waters,

To the asylum seeker, your bravery, your endurance in hardship re-light a fire in my heart as I look back into my own history,

To the one in the wheelchair, thank you for giving me the opportunity to face up to my own fear of dying, suffering and being unloved,

To the one with the broken hand, you tested my patience and my sense of responsibilities, thank you for the opportunity that I could exceed my best,

To the enlighten car mechanic, I am sorry I couldn't stand up stronger for your spirituality,

To the cycling ex-solider lost in his own world, I am sorry I couldn't help find more justice in your world,

To the two who tried to swop pants in a psychotic disinhibited manner, thank you for showing me there's always another way to see the same thing in front of your eyes.

God thank you for putting them in my path, to show me what's important in life and beyond yourself. May I continue to be a message to some from YOU!!
