speech vs conversation

I flying out tomorrow for a speech but I have come to realize that what is needed is not a speech but a conversation.  My goal is to open the door for further conversations not speeches.  In my mind I am the most privilegedwoman to be part of a large project to develop dialogue between clinical providers and the transgendered community. 

There are literally hundreds who have helped me in my journey.  I feel morally and ethically obligated to share my journey as a woman because so many have helped me.  Now, it is my turn to do my part and have open honest conversations with the people that can help the transgendered community the most ; the clinincal providers.

As zig ziglar says, " if you think you can or can't you are probably right."  I honestly think I can make a profound difference with the help of so many men and women in the VA. Who knew a woman like me was this strong?

thank you again,

Rachel
