Dear Joanne , I really appreciate your gratitude. It means a lot to me. I want to thank you too. Thank you for your honesty, your willingness to look inward and share your story here with us so that the DB family can learn from you and cheer you on. You both are special people.
The reason no one has commented is that I asked them not to, not on this thread anyway. I just wanted this thread to be a dialog between me and you, JOanne. People have been kind enough to honor that. I am going to open a thread for people's responses. Whether they write or not, I know you have touched many people here.
Also, I want you to know that if you want to stop this process now, that's absolutely fine with me. However, if you want to check in once a week or even once every two weeks and let us know what's working and how you are keeping things on track, that would be great too. It's entirely up to you. Whatever you decide, I just want you to know how very, very proud I am to have you part of this DB community. I'm sure everyone here will agree that the world would be a better place if more people were like you.
