It definitely makes me reflect on my own life and reminds me that I'm not exactly where I want to be either, but I know it's a process. I was mostly struck by the struggle of speaking your truth vs. not wanting to rock the boat. It's definitely not easy to speak up, but it seems like you've gotten to the point where it's absolutely necessary, not sure if you remember this Audre Lord quote, but it's so true, "I have come to believe, over and over again, that what is important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood." And honestly if there is some sex discrimination going on, or any other kind of employment discrimination, it's not right and you CAN do something about it. You can contact these agencies and file a complaint to be investigated. California State Department of Fair Employment and Housing 1-800-884-1684 www.dfeh.ca.gov OR Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 1-866-408-8075 www.eeoc.gov I hope you find peace and happiness, and don't let your fear silence you woman :) Hey Cyn,

You remind that often as we get older, we need to consciously create happiness, and it takes constant work. I think one of the great things that you have/know and that will be very effective for you is that you can concretely pinpoint what makes you happy, so to be even more happy, it's about seeking out those things - like bball and working as part of a community. And conversely, eliminating what you know brings stress and unhappiness. Easier said than done, but I know you're strong and can do it. :) And ditto Wendy's comment, all of it. I believe in you, too!
