I enjoyed reading this Trisha - you are indeed courageous and LOVE how you shared with us how each of those decisions only taught you more about yourself and skills that you didn't even seek to have. Frankly - what a more exciting and fun way to live - going out on a limb and doing that which is a "stretch!" I think many of us will think of our "steps out on limbs" as we read this...thanks for the encouraging piece!
