Had the most rewarding experience of my publishing journey on this day. I was invited by Chaplin, Miranda Leijser, from Carmel Adventist College, to attend a chapel meeting and talk to the students about ‘Shards of Ice’. Georgia Grace, conducted a short interview and then opened the floor for questions. This was a huge challenge for me, talking to such a large audience, but it is what I have been aiming at since publication so could not withdraw simply because my fear got the better of me. My hope has always been to get the story into the schools and into the hands of our kids, so that their choices for their future would not be tarnished by this terrible drug. I was rewarded by a flood of questions, thankyou’s from the kids after, and even a couple of them waiting to talk to me one-on-one. A would-be writer who I encouraged with all my heart to never give up on her passion, and a young man who smiled and told me that I had inspired him and given him hope for his own personal story where Ice was involved. I was truly humbled. If I made a difference to only one student today, then it’s all been worth the journey. I live in hope that those who didn’t understand ‘why’ might one day see ‘why’ stories such as these can impact so greatly on those who need our guidance the most.
