Thank you Patricia for your candor, its essential truths particularly. I would question one conclusion. You stated you can change who you are within the context of a rediscovery process. I believe this to be missing a focus point. Or entirely valid as you left it there for consideration. I liked what you suggested while believing that you can never change who you naturally are. What you can change is what you have become. if it doesn't become what is naturally you.

I respect your courage. A virtue for which you have a natural awareness...and curiosity to continue, your own quest ensuing while guiding others. How grand a journey .... and thank you again for allowing us to accompany you.
