I really appreciated your sense of humour; it really shone through your writing, I had a good giggle a couple of times. That and your willingness to go and do something that matters..... you talk about the irreconcilable invisible distance you feel between you and others, so i can only say how i appreciate your tireless work and the help you gave. So thank you. I must say you really have inspired me to do more in this world. I look forward to your next book release and hope the next time you are in Australia, I don't miss you this time!...now that would be uncool! So take care James. Narelle - Gold Coast, Australia Ps. I watched you in your video on your website and where you hit your head. funny.... I just finished your new book… for me it certainly puts things into perspective.
