I believe I can fly.....
Just a quick post to state that I have enjoyed probably the pinacle of my recovery. This past weekend I had the pleasure of being Master of Ceremony at my brothers wedding. My speeches flowed like melted butter on a hot summer day and all the compliments I received afterwards hightend the feeling of accomplishment even more. My sincere thanks to everyone who gave me those winks, smiles and warm handshakes.
Strangely enough my social off-the-cuff speaking needs some discpline...nontheless my number of contacs has reached 6001. Plans to be "Great Teacher Hein-San" are progressing....
Ek is altyd op soek na "inspiring" mense, want hulle laat my net weer besef dat mens so baie dinge kan oorkom, wat jy nooit gedink het jy kan nie.
Ek kan met sekerheid sê dat jou storie "profound" is...ok, ek gaan nou in Engels tik, want deesdae is dit my eerste taal.
I think to leave your comfort zone-give up everything you worked for, in order for you too overcome your biggest struggle in life is beyond amazing.
I cannot begin to imagine what it feels like to not be able to express yourself verbally. I am a natural "speaker". I love public speaking...I love to communicate with people...you could say it is one of my strongest traits...I can always talk about something, without struggling.
You humbled me this weekend. I have been taking my gift for granted. I've never thought about it untill now.
I suffer from major depression, but I can tell you that this weekend has been so good for me, meeting you. I want to follow your lead...
Well, enough typing for now...talk later.
But well done!! You don't know me, and this will probably sound weird, but I am proud of you, because it takes a hell of a lot of guts to do what you did.
Good luck with everything!!
Love

Well done on your wedding speech, what an amazing achievment! A very challenging situation and sounds like you not only spoke well, but actually enjoyed it as well.
Great picture of you and Jaques on your new- look web page by the way... must have been taken by a spectacularly talented photographer ;)
