Great way to start this memoir, Annette - looking forward to finding out what happened in your family! (Mine had a few secrets too...)

Thanks so much, Troy. Chapters 7, snd 8, which are coming out the next two Sundays after tomorrow are two of my coming out chapters. There’s more later, too. I hope you’ll find those interesting. Most families have a few skeletons—some more devastating than others! Fortunately, I survived mine pretty well—not unscathed, but also not too damaged.

Thanks, Kassie. Some of it might feel familiar (LOL!) but some of it is new. I'm glad to know you're traveling with me!

Johari Window: I am reading part 4 this morning as I set here drinking my coffee. Thank you for sharing this concept. This would be interesting way to understand yourself and work toward improving one’s self. Life seems to go through many changes.

Yes, for some reason, the Johari Window has always stuck with me as a tool to consider when I’m thinking about how I’m responding to things or how others are responding to me. I’m glad you like it.
