What a great story Xenia! Thanks for sharing it and I love the quote from My Husband Betty. It's stories like yours and so many others that gave me the gumption to go out my first time a few months ago. Next Thursday will be my 3rd time out, going for a makeup lesson, 2 malls, then capping it off with my therapist appointment. I went to Sephora in drab clothes, was there for about an hour, and I've learned that eye contact and a warm smile go a long way. I felt like I belonged there even drab, and 95% of the people didn't even notice me.
