I took myself out after work fire a Mexican dinner and a very tall tequila sunrise. Boy was that good. I rarely drink alcohol but my inner child has a thing for tequila.

That sounds delicious! I used to love a good tequila sunrise with the grenadine settling to the bottom to look like the sunrise, or sunset. With my assortment of transplant drugs, I can't drink alcohol anymore. It's a bummer, but I can deal with it.

I hope you enjoyed every bite of your dinner!

Wow, this is really insightful. I'm pretty private when it comes to my trauma, but please know that this was a very meaningful message for me. Thank you for sharing and helping others heal through your healing journey.

I've been quite private for 50 years, but silence doesn't help anyone. It just perpetuates trauma. With my memoir, I'm releasing all of it. Hopefully, it can be helpful to others who are finding their own path to healing.

And THIS is why I determined to try to do the same! Thank you Dawn. Today, I’m your “difference.”

This makes me so happy! Releasing your truth into the world is like finally exhaling after holding your breath for years.

I became expert at holding that breath while actively running in circles……the spiritual equivalent of patting my head as I rubbed my stomach…..and as pointless.

I injured my soul by pretending I was managing life.

But it is exquisitely clear to me that a part of the healing has to be helping others along on their paths of change.

Absolutely. The best way to help yourself feel better is to help others feel better.

Holy shit, Dawn. You deserve all the chocolate, ice cream, and tacos your little (huge) heart desires.

It's balancing act with keeping my cholesterol and blood sugar, and weight, in check, so I try to indulge in moderation. But salsa doesn't affect any of those, so I can indulge in lots of spicy bites!

Dawn, we have a lot in common! I won’t go into details, but if I do soon end up in Detroit, I hope we can get better acquainted. ❤️
