Keep at it christina! Nice profile pic too. Did you color your hair or is that the lighting?

[Boss Man]

You've come a long way Christina and I am truly proud of you for pushing, trying, believing and learning. You are someone I absolutely believe in and one of the best people I've ever come across.

You actually look in your photograph, like a true reflection of the person inside. You're a beautiful, beautiful Lady and I respect and admire you for being who you are, because despite some of the things you've come through in life, you've still found such a lot of emotional purity, content and richness from within your head and heart and that is a fantastic achievement, to not constantly believe what some people may say, or live in the shadow of what some peoples actions may have done.

I'm sending you a BIG HUG because I am so happy with what you have done and when we worked on that article about you, I wanted it to look and feel like a heart-felt, honest and really real thing, not something just based on a formula like all the other success story pieces on here are, that are just based on pre-set questions.

You helped me achieve something that meant a lot to me and showed so much of your emotion and beauty in it.

I've been proud to give time and attention to you and unconditional strength, support, empathy and understanding and I always will. You are one of those people that gives me a little more reason and purpose to be part of this, because you represent hope, potential and an ability to overcome negative things from the past and not let them shape you too much.

You really, really do look in your photograph about as beautiful as I've ever seen you and it Is reflecting so much of the person inside of you .

Keep pushing, keep believing, chin up, be strong and no worries, because I believe in you completely and I am sure you WILL fulfill your wishes, because you've come too far and learned too much, to ever settle for second best which is something you will NEVER be, because you are you and it means you are special in your own unique and wonderful way and that is not a definition of someone settling for second best.

So keep making that time for you Christina, because you DO matter and you ARE important okay .
