My Dearest Lorna,
Look how far you’ve come! To think a girl from Alexandra - one of the poorest townships in South Africa could travel the world and be known as the first ballet dancer of colour to perform a lead role, and now an award winning celebrity chef. Learn to pat yourself on the back for your achievements, although your A-type personality is always looking for bigger and better.
Life is not going to be easy, but thank God for your resilience and patience to pursue your goals. Don’t ever lose your fearlessness, it will come with downfalls but also some amazing rewards. Many doors will close on you but as many will open for you.
It’s about to be one heck of a rollercoaster but when you look back you’ll be happy with the decisions you’ve made. Enjoy the high highs and low lows as you learn to gage around life and what works for you. Learn to not over think everything and let go of the things you can’t change.
Continue to trust God with the process, everything your heart desires will happen. Keep on keeping on - the world awaits your grace, talent and charming personality!!!
