Oh Doctor.....

[Anne]

Michelle, I respectfully disagree. We all have it. We just all have different circumstances with which we have to work within. We will all be able to just sprint for awhile, and then we will hit some roadblock or other. This moxie didn't come from a box; it came from all of the chats I have had with all of you. Chatting with all of you, seeing what you all have already paved for me, just made it easier for me. Saying I owe you all a debt of gratitude is an extraordinarily gross understatement. I think I will experience one of those roadblocks this Saturday. I'm sure I'm going to feel so self-conscience that I make myself out to be a bumbling idiot. And if the other ladies there are as gracious and helpful that you all have been, and continue to be, then I will be fine. I learned from all of you, that if you can do it, then why not me? And if what I do, can help one lady deal with her life struggles, then we are all that much better for it. That is why I treasure what you all say so much. Love you all, Michelle

I think you will be fine on Saturday, Michelle.  Just be your normal Michelle self and you will have a great time.  I would guess that you will have opportunity to meet other TG's who have been going through this transition longer than you have.   Observe them, their mannerisms, how they handle themselves in conversation, sitting, walking...don't be afraid to ask questions as everyone (and I mean everyone) loves to talk about themselves.  They will be happy to share with you.  I'm so jelly of you....wishing I could be at that party with you.
and hugs.....
