Cali, you are doing important work here! Thank you.

Your title reminds me of a project I did with a friend a few years ago: https://permissionnotes.tumblr.com/

Absolutely. Always good to have a reminder. I need it too

That is a difficult concept to wrap my head around - "permission to be me." I was taught at an early age that "me" wasn't acceptable.

Hi Janice. It is never to late to be you. Welcome to yourself. You are more than acceptable
