One foot out of the closet

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm not advertising on a bill board, but I decided to take one step out of my closet and add a picture....

 

I've told two friends and had positive responses and after reading and being inspired by the two brave ladies and their recent closet posts, I decided to go for it one step further . Two months ago I didn't dare post on here in case anyone I knew stumbled across it and recognised me. Now I'm more embarrassed that people I know will read one of my earlier posts which are like emotional vomit spilled out in a jumble of words, rather that the fact that I have H. Or the fact that they will discover I have a secret addiction to quotes !! ( sorry guys for clogging that thread, I just cant help my self. Its on a level with my shoe addiction !! :-) ). As well as H I also have dyslexia so apologies for any crappy spellings ,( but that doesn't make me thick, just like H doesn't make me dirty!! )

Any way that's me, I am now off for a run....because I can ... Happy Sunday everyone, you are all fabulous xx

Yay, Hope! Look at you bein' all sweet-lookin'! Now I get to see your face when you talk on these boards. ;)

 

Here's to you being more and more you. Owning every bit of your shadow allows you to more fully own your ever-brightening light.

 

"... but that doesn't make me thick, just like herpes doesn't make me dirty!" I love it. :)

 

Welcome more into the light of day ... Big hugs to you.

Thanks for your words of encouragement, it means so much to me :-)

 

The picture was taken in July this year at my graduating from teaching school party ! I remember it well, because about two weeks previous I was diagnosed. I was having a terrible break out that evening, so it was a very bitter sweet moment. I remember thinking, this should be one of the most happiest times in my life and it was overshadowed by sadness.. ! NO MORE !! the picture is a reminder to my self to never let this thing overshadow my happiness !!

 

WCS I hope you didn't think I was critiquing your coming out with my billboard comment. I really admire your bravery

 

Adrial I'm so glad I found you, you are a very special human being :-)
