I totally borrowed this from my dear friend Jaydee at http://lifeinthelostworld.blogspot.com/. Blogging has enriched my life in so many ways, friends and relatives near and far being right at the top of the list. Enjoy Jaydee’s post and I so hope that like she has suggested…. if I can only do 5 of the things on the list….I will be much better off in 2011.
out with the old and in with the new....

As Archbishop Desmond Tutu says:
“Ubuntu is about the essence of being human, it is part of the gift that Africa
will give the world. It embraces hospitality, caring about others,
being able to go the extra mile for the sake of others. We believe that
a person is a person through another person, that my humanity is caught up,
bound up, inextricably, with yours. When I dehumanize you, I inexorably
dehumanize myself. The solitary human being is a contradiction in terms
and therefore you seek to work for the common good because your humanity
comes into its own in belonging”.
Let 2011 be the year of UBUNTU
