SO much love and light here. I think I'm just gonna read and reread each and every piece until I am full to the brim and the happy tears stop falling. It is a rare and wonderful thing to meet you all - to log into Ask E. Jean and know I will be intrigued, challenged, and best of all accepted for who I am not what I am expected to be. Thank you all for being part of the Conflab and to Auntie E. for being the most illustrious lightning rod ever. HUGS!
Congratulations to the keep-going molders of the raw into the gold, however honorably tarnished and still beautiful. Thank you for sharing your stories, every one of you. And high tens to all winners. What an incredible community!
Fascinating stories all. After mulling over the assignment, I was able to condense my adventures to a list of stats similar to one of your winners—but only in my head. Thanks for making me stop and think.
The vast array of different perspectives as well as writing styles is just a peek into the constellation of incredibly talented Conflabbists gathered here. It was so inspiring, heartbreaking, hilarious and heartwarming all at once to read the words of those who bravely chose to share. So much vulnerability, introspection, self-love and compassion. It was in a whirlwind of emotions, trying to comprehend how many of us persevered despite ALL odds, and then some.
We thought it was an impossible task to WRITE, while the MOST impossible task would have been to choose, IMHO. Grateful it was not up to me - I just may have chosen everyone!
That Zoom call is gonna be amazing!! Enjoy - so well-deserved! 🫶🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Bravo everyone 👏. Congratulations Sensational 16!
Some of these broke my heart. Some of these could have been my autobiography. I have a stone in my stomach now. But congrats to the winners.
