OMG, Beth! You made me laugh and love you even more. You go, gutsy girl! I know your book club gals will love you even more. I’m jealous of your book club adventures, totally checking out this book, and looking forward to seeing you this weekend! (Happy Birthday Weekend, my friend!)]
Not only did you reveal your diagnosis, you also gave insight they didn't have and set yourself up as a reliable resource for future questions. You've just made your extended community better. What a generous and brave act!
Thank you for sharing, both in the difficult space of the book club but also to a wider audience. Courageous voices speaking about lived experience can impact change and create greater understanding and connection,, though I understand it is a difficult thing to do and especially in such a forum where your not sure of the audience response. Thank you for your courage and voice.
Happy to hear your voice again! And thank you for speaking up. I can't imagine how hard it must have been, but I feel certain you did the group a service by helping them understand. While it's not your job to do that, and it takes so much energy (something that's not always in deep supply for anyone dealing with chronic illness), the ripple effect can be tremendous. Brava, friend!
