Take back your Balance & Bounce!
Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire. – Arnold Glasgow-
Plodding along in the hope that everything will turn out just fine, is not an option.
If you are faced with challenges, whether physical or emotional, will affect your mental state and jeopardise your ability to function normally.
Facing your challenges or fears is the only way to make practical choices in order to change your circumstances. The question is; how do you do that?
Not everyone has a personality type to cope with challenges on their own so acquiring the valuable and experienced counselling/guidance is paramount to get you through tough times.
If you have been through a traumatic event or face issues at work, or even in your personal life, the best way to approach it is head-on and as soon as humanly possible.
Over and above my health issues, many years ago I was on holiday and my then husband had my 18 month son in a backpack carrier and decided to get a view of a mountain from a closer viewpoint. He stood up on a low wall overlooking a sheer drop. I freaked, lost the plot and screeched for him to get off the wall. Prior to that I had no issue with heights, little realising how that one incident would affect me for over thirty years.
Once I decided to own and face my fear of heights, I firstly went on a 1,5km Zipline Tour in Ballito, KZN. After a leisurely nature walk to the top of the cliff I was introduced to the “1st in the world” – all new “Parazip” proceeding to slide on a 400m cable from the top of the mountain. That was around 2014.
I then decided, in 2018 that zip-lining was for sissies, so on World AIDS Day, I proceeded to tandem paraglide off Signal Hill. What a blast and I can honestly say I would do it again.
My life, my choices!
Don’t be ashamed of what you’ve been through or what you’re dealing with.
What are your challenges and what are you doing to defeat them?
There are ways to overcome each and every obstacle; you just need the right tools!

PROJECT 1: Computer Skills Income Initiative
PROJECT 2: Training: Support Group Facilitator
~Quality Living Course~
The objective in founding AID My Journey is to play a major role in the transformation of how HIV and AIDS is managed, providing valuable structured programmes on HIV and AIDS and programmes used to enhance employers and employees:
“Educate and empower people by providing local life skills programmes that promotes positive values, healthy habits, and education – resulting in real life power.”
Computer Skills Income Initiative: AID My Journey-Support requires computers and laptops to support this valuable initiative.
These will be put to good use in teaching individuals living with the HI virus that have either been retrenched due to ill health or left their livelihood once they became ill, some basic computer skills.
This initiative is to empower persons to prepare small business plans, quotes, letters and essential admin skills etc. in order to generate an income for themselves.
We plan to communicate these skills through various resources and then have the donated computers available to these persons to pursue their earnings from our premises.
AID My Journey-Support has been kindly offered the services of a local Durban College to teach individuals some of these skills.
Training: Support Group Facilitator – Quality Living Course is a valuable initiative that will encourage individuals to share this much needed information and in time assist in removing the stigma attached to the virus.
This initiative is to motivate and empower individuals to take this course information back to their communities and potentially generate an income for themselves by facilitating their own courses.
Should you wish to support this initiative in any way, we would be most grateful for your support.
There will be acknowledgment of the support via newspapers, website and other social media platforms acknowledging your role in the development of this project.
Many Thanks.
AID My Journey is proud to announce that we are now Services SETA Accredited Training Providers for HIV Skills.
Thanks to the sponsorship and unparalleled support and dedication from Jeanine Topping & Associates who made this possible.
