I was 100 kilograms in this photo. I will be 50 kilograms with Bryce's help by listening to his voice only to guide me, reflected in the people who I have opened my heart to, knowing it is safe in their care. Thank you for all your help to Barbara Hazelgrove for introducing me to Bryce Courtenay and Geoff Pike. I am who I am today because of the teachers that surround me. Mwah! xox
