I think this was one of the more excellent discussions I've seen on the board with so many people participating in the convo - so thanks for stirring the pot Mark
Those are good questions for Sandi and I hope she gets around to answering them. I'd like to know as well.
Looking at everything, I think I just have one fundamental disagreement with you - which is about the recon mindset. Otherwise, we're on the same page.
With the timelines for WAS to maybe think about recon, and the mismatch with the timeline for the LBS getting to a place where they want to move on, it creates a very daunting situation for the LBS. I am all for the waiting, but only until it makes sense for me and my growth as a person. And when I have reached my personal goals and am maintaining the lasting changes I am aiming for, I will revisit the decision about what to do next - do I continue to wait and stretch my timeline or file papers. That decision has to come for me from my own place of strength and clarity. It won't be a response to whatever she does.
I refuse to tie my happiness to the possibility of a recon.
Anyways, at least it looks like whatever you're doing is working for you right now Mark. Good luck!
