Image Models begin hierdie jaar met soveel
opwinding en aktiwiteite. My hoof
fokuspunt is om modelle te vorm,
selfvertroue te ontwikkel en voor te berei
vir die toekoms. Hierdie jaar beoog ons om
ongeveer 15 organisasies te ondersteun.
Die eerste organisasie wat reeds hierby baat
gevind het is Widja Gear for Hear, Karen
Louwrens het ‘n donasie van R3000-00
bygedra tot haar onkoste om hierdie
operasie te ontvang. Widja het op 9 Mei
2017 ‘n kogleêre inplanting ontvang. Ons
by Image Models wens jou alles wat mooi
is toe Widja. Ons sien ook daarna uit om
jou te ontmoet. Om hierdie modelle se
aksies te ondersteun word die gemeenskap
gevra om ons hamper lootjies te
ondersteun. Lootjies is R20 elk en kan jy
een van 3 gelukkige wenners wees! Die
hampers bestaan uit ongelooflike produkte.
Die hamper kan besigtig word by
Plaaskombuis Coffee Shop. Ek wens my
modelle ‘n fantastiese reis toe met hierdie
projek. Onthou dat jy nie die wêreld gaan
verander nie, maar jy gaan die wêreld vir
iemand beteken. Ons motto vir 2017 is: Be
Smart, Be Safe, Be the best you can be. Die
volgende modelle ondersteun die volgende
organisasies: (8733R) Meg Gallie-

If you want disappointment then trust
people with your life. You will feel the
pain that no one can ease. Most people
will try to break you down and cause
problems in your life therefore trust in
the Lord. It is not easy, when you look
back and see people you helped turn
against you or try to claim what is yours.
Don’t fight them, they haven't discovered
themselves yet. They copy other peoples
behaviour. You must believe in God and
praise Him. He will fight for you. When
you face mountains in your life don’t lose
focus, put everything in the holy hands of
the Lion of Judah.

For some reason, a line from Robert Burns’s
poem, To a Mouse has been rattling around
my head: “The best laid of mice and men often
go awry.” That’s about right for me. I’ve
been wondering how I’ve got here from there.
I think I had plans for my life. My life was
supposed to be different to how it is now. I
imagined that I’d be rich, smart, handsome,
popular, well-travelled and sophisticated. I
think I was influenced by the Peter
Stuyvesant cigarette adverts. You know the
ones with incredibly beautiful, rich and
pampered people skiing in Aspen or diving
in Cancun and then partying the night away.
And, of course, who can forget the close
cousin to Stuyvesant … Mainstay Cane
Spirit: “You can stay as you are or you can
change to Mainstay.”Ah, to travel the perfect
ocean on a perfect yacht and with perfect
friends. That’s got to be a perfect life.
Needless to say, my life never panned out
that way at all. I’ve never set foot on a yacht.
I’ve never donned a set of skis. I’ve never
had perfect friends … just friends who are
perfect for me. And, I’ve never partied the
night away because I can barely stay awake
until 10pm in any case. I love what the author,
DouglasAdams had to say, “I may not have
gone where I intended to go, but I think I
have ended up where I needed to be.” My
life may not have panned out the way I had
hoped. But it panned out the way it should.
My trajectory to here has been convoluted.
It has been a winding path of missteps,
mishaps and mayhem. It’s been a wondrous
journey of joy, mystery and discovery too.
Every person I’ve met, every place I’ve been
to and every experience I’ve had has
conspired to help me get to where I am now.
I’m in a good place now … it’s challenging,
frustrating, fruitful and fulfilling. It’s a
perfect mess. And, that’s how it should be.
Every day is a surprise for me. You see, I
may have had plans. But in the grand
scheme of things, they’re so insignificant. I
know that I’ve been blessed with much more
than my imagined Stuyvesant and Mainstay
lifestyle. I’m grateful that every interaction
I have and every person that I meet is
shaping me into human I’m still to become.
I’m grateful that my life is a perfect mess.
I’ve ended up just where I need to be.
