And I knew I was being called to leave my marriage, to strike out into completely new and terrifying territory. I was being called to choose me in a world that didn't know what to do with a woman choosing herself first. In my world in which I didn't know what to do with me choosing myself first. It was antithetical to everything I had been carefully taught, the role models so judiciously chosen, the me so tenderly, masterfully squelched under the weight of the male-dominated world in which I breathed.
Day 7, Jill's 10-minute Morning Write, Excerpt:

Sigh. Yes. Such courage, Jill. Thank you. Thank you.
'I bow my head again and say: Please.'
