I feel the same way ………… to quote you ‘I’m passionate and I’m fiery – I get angry, and I have outbursts of rage. I’m emotional and I am incapable (or unwilling) to cover my tears, I have no problem with displaying my emotions. But if you know me very well, as maybe only a few people do, you’ll also know that I mean no harm or hatred to any living thing.’

What a lovely post. I get what your trying to do and I really hope you suceed. Don’t let those negative people get you down.
I’m in a restless place in my life and I admire your courage to get on with what you want to achieve even when things go pear shaped.
Now I just need to find my own courage to move out of my comfort zone into a better future.

I have been following your blog since the first day you posted.
Cate, you truly are an incredible human being and I really believe that those of us who have followed for the past few months are witnessing the birth of one of the world’s next great pioneers.
Your passion is infectious, and you handle every situation with the sense of a diety. I have never met you but I feel like I know you, and I feel like I have been part of something amazing.
I believe we are dawning on a new age, it may take 10 – 15 years to come to realisation but I also believe that you, Cate, will be an icon of that age.
I know from your Tweets that you and your precious kids have been at the Australia Zoo today as part of your Steve Irwin Day prize. I’m sure he would have been happy to know you were there.
As Steve said in the comment above “you exceed expectations” – he’s absolutely right, Cate. You are truly one of a kind.

Cate, thank you so much for this “I AM ME” blog. It is very brave of you! I believe in what you wrote, I just can’t claim it for myself. I have studied mindfulness and many Buddhist principles. To me, Buddhism is a way of life not a religion – neither of for which I have had the staying power. You are a role model for me and Cate, I will be 63 next month and I don’t know where those years went – possibly because I did not live in the moment! I spent time regretting the past or worrying about the future. Now I am trying to trust the universe and believe that where my God guides, my God provides.
I can’t even comment on the Willie Smits video. I have seen it before and it breaks my heart! I don’t believe we can ever make Heaven out of this earth, but I also believe that we were meant to try – and you try and you accomplish much. Your son will forget about the suit long before he forgets how your family cares for “the least of us”. With the love of the universe, Nikki.
