I can relate to the stressing point you make too cos I do it all the time. At the moment I have stressed myself 7kg lighter in the last month so I really hope you manage to stop.

SEE that’s how loved you are i check on my little pea before i even check my own mail!<BR/><BR/>Isn’t the book wonderful!!! I got laughed at by plenty random chavs on UK transport gasping out loud!! I just couldn’t believe how poignant and fitting it was to my own life!! It truly has changed my life or given me the courage to understand what are the important bits in life! <BR/><BR/>I knew you would love the bits about David and how badly we want the passion and how ultimately destructive it is!!<BR/><BR/>The book is a real journey and i think you should get inspired to follow suit. I really do believe that the world is waiting for you to write your story! so have faith and it will happen! Your honesty and passion will help many people especially girls to push themselves to not settle for anything but the best!<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day if the job doesn’t work out, so be it!! Being a woman makes you have unlimited natural resources to fall back on and I know you would have kicked yourself if you had not tried in the first place! <BR/><BR/>Every action has a reaction and although it may not be the desired result at the perfect time it has given you an indication of what possibly doesn’t work for you! Rewarding in retrospect.<BR/><BR/>Channel that creativity into coming up with brave solutions and you will find what you are looking for.<BR/><BR/>You are a creative force and although you doubt yourself from time to time that’s why you have us, your peeps, your fans, to spur you on!! <BR/><BR/>Don’t give up hope it will all work out in the end!<BR/><BR/>I am going to be in Joburg for 2 weeks and it would be awesome and an honor to meet up!! will be in touch and see if you are up for it!!<BR/><BR/>Facebooking you as we speak, just so you can check on my freak factor!
