Eric- That is so awesome! I'm so proud for you forging ahead with new plans

A lot of it is confidence. I have tried hard to be brave most of the time but I have my bad days I guess... Its hard for people to get past that initial interaction but I'm getting better at breaking through everyday.
I need to start using speech to speech (711) so that I can handle my own phone calls make my appointments. Call about wrong credit card charges... The whole phone thing is my biggest obstacle.

You are so right! I shouldn't have the mindset that I am stuck here or anywhere.
Thanks for your inspiring encouraging words! Kate
