Today, November 14th, marks two significant milestones in my life. Firstly, remembering my father on what would have been his 84th birthday. This is his first birthday since he left us. Though he is no longer with us, he will forever remain in our hearts. Forever missed and forever loved. ❤️ Secondly, on this day two years ago, I contested the Parliamentary Elections. Although the outcome was not what I had hoped for, it marked an important chapter in my life. A month later, I brought my involvement in politics and all political activities to an end. I remain sincerely grateful for the opportunities I was fortunate to receive during my time in politics, the trust placed in me, and the guidance, leadership and encouragement I received from those I had the privilege of working with. I look back on that chapter with appreciation and am happy and proud of the contribution I was able to make during my time in public life. It has now been 23 months since I began my transition from politics to the corporate sector. What initially started as a part-time engagement has gradually evolved into a full-time role and commitment, one that I genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling. This transition has brought with it a different rhythm and perspective on life. More quality time with family, greater attention to my health and fitness, more opportunities to travel, greater privacy and personal space, new experiences, and the opportunity to learn more about different industries, trades and the world around me. Life has opened up new avenues, new interests and new opportunities for personal and professional growth. I have moved on from politics, and I have no intention or interest in returning to political life or political activity. I am content with the path I have chosen and look forward to embracing what lies ahead. Every chapter has its purpose. Some chapters teach us, some shape us, and some prepare us for an entirely different journey. Today is a day of remembrance, reflection and gratitude.
