To My Darling Virus, 11-11-2018
You and I have travelled a long way together; in fact, you are the longest relationship I have ever had, so firmly attached to me.
I would like to commend you for your perseverance. You gave me uphill for the first four years or so, from 2004 to 2008, but have since pulled yourself together and been understanding and supportive.
We are not only good friends (with me in charge of course) but also intimate companions, who understand, respect and take good care of our ongoing relationship.
May we continue to nurture and maintain our bond in such a way as to grow old together.
Your ever loving host,
It would be very remiss of me if I let this slide, especially after Liezel van der Westhuizen, a speaker colleague, friend, and Mastermind Associate could get so excited on my behalf.
I received an animated phone call saying:
‘Do you know that you are ranked Fourth (4th) on the list of famous motivational speakers in South Africa’?
Needless to say, I hopped straight on to the internet to check it out, lo and behold; there I am on a list of 80 of my peers, who would have thought!
I have no doubt it has a lot to do with the amount of visibility, through marketing, SEO’s and general PR that I have done since going public with my HIV status in 2011. (Diagnosed 2004).
It is however very rewarding to know that your message of HIV awareness is recognised, onwards and upwards.
Thanks again @Liezelv #GiraffeLiezel #Giraffeinthecity, much appreciated for sharing this with me, we as speakers should celebrate each other as candidly as you did as we all have an important messages to share.
Check out the list.
