WHAT MADE US FEEL GOOD THIS WEEK?

Public Broadcasters, Friends of The FGM, And The new Miss SA

* Our public broadcaster - the SABC - unexpectedly covering COPE's inaugural conference that took place this past weekend in Bloemfontein. The SABC carried some parts of this conference live. This broadcast was a nice surprise.To a lot of people the line between the SABC as a public broadcaster and that of it as a government mouthpiece has become blurred. It follows therefore that a ANC government mouthpiece would not necessarily want to give a rival political party(COPE) this kind of media exposure. So it was really commendable of the SABC to act like a true public broadcaster in this instance. A broadcaster that belongs to all South Africans.


* The many messages of congratulations and support from old friends of the Feel Good Movement since the launch of this blog. They all wished us well going forward. Our favourite is this sms one from Dorcas:

"I hav gon into the Feel Good Movement website. I'm impressed.Congrats. I hope it lives on. There is nothing like feeling good. I also like to thank the Universe(my GOD) 4 giving me values that r keepin me satisfied with what I hav. It doesn't help to complain.
Goodnt."

* An article about the crowning of the new Miss S A (Tatum Keshwar) that appeared in The Times newspaper (Wed 17/ 12 / 08). In its tone this article was upbeat and celebratory. It was a story about another dream that had come true. How many of us have"prayed,hoped and cried" for our dreams to come true like Ms Keshwar did?
Well,the new Miss S A has just shown us that with faith our dreams can indeed come true.
The picture that went with this article was beautiful also. The new queen, with her two princesses to the right and left of her, is surrounded by the other 9 finalists. Everybody is smiling. All of the ladies look to be genuinely happy for Tatum.


THANK YOU UNIVERSE. THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.
