I truly appreciated reading this… I had no idea how challenging your life had become. In the short time I’ve known you, I’ve seen a strong, intelligent woman with a wonderfully engaging gift of communication. This has humbled me, because I missed the sheer depth of your challenges. I wish that I may continue to be a good friend, and a better listener…hugs…

Having been through three “pink ribbon procedures” myself I really appreciate your story. So glad you’re back to writing. You have talented voice, whether telling you own story or others.

Thank YOU Julia!!! You have shown us that vulnerability can be a a big strength and that our shared human commonality can serve as support for each of us in times of duress. We learn from our difficult journeys and they change us, hopefully for the better, as they seem to have done to you. Your story touches the many and gives hope and courage to each of us to persevere. Yes every story is different but they all join at the end, contributing to a better world. So many thanks for opening up yourself to all of us.

I have admired your investigative prowess and professionalism, but your contribution to humanity through fearlessly relating this assault to your being and to rise and rise again above it may be your greatest contribution. I look forward to more Juicy History, but more importantly, I look forward to future interactions with you. With gratitude and immeasurable admiration, Laura.
