I came to find your thread after reading your question on christianhusband's thread. Please don't take this the wrong way,........... but I found myself laughing when I read your first post. I think your self-deprecating humor can only help to soften your W. My DB coach told me that laughter promotes the release of oxytocin, the bonding hormone, so this approach can draw our WAS's to us.
I'm glad to hear that you've found a good DB coach astronaut consultant (something like that.........). I hope that things move forward in your situation. Slow and steady wins the race.
