Thanks, Dan. I do it because it might help others in some way. I've been the person who needs to hear someone else's experience or perspective (a lot!). It wasn't often something I could find, as mostly that was before the internet and being able to read blogs and other people's stories. It would have been so helpful to know I wasn't alone, or that I wasn't crazy for feeling the way I did.

And if I can open a few closed minds along the way, which paves the way for greater understanding and more kindness down the road, then I'm happy to do that, too. :)
