This is BEAUTIFUL!! I was rooting for Wendy here as I do irl. Beautiful essay. I teared up while reading, in the best possible way.

It reads even more beautifully on the page than how beautifully you read it to me. This is such a wonderful story on so many levels Wendy!

We humans go through so many of the same kinds of transitions. It’s fascinating to me how we navigate those as individuals.

We do. I’m also fascinated that it often is a surprise. I love being reminded that we’re more similar than different.

What a beautiful essay, Wendy. All of my senses were evoked, and my heart wanted you to have a room of your own with THAT view. The line that stopped me cold was: There is too much of what I’m not in these walls.

Damn.

What a sobering realization. I’m glad you honored the calling. It inspires me to keep stepping up to mine.
