Awesome!

Deb, you give so much. I love you.

Well spoken. We learn so much from our personal problems that help us to teach and help our clients in need. Good luck to you!

why did the audience laugh when she said she thought she was diagnosed with AIDS? What is so funny about that?

Dear Anne. Perhaps the laughter was a kind of tension release on the part of the audience, as they were listening to the story, knowing that I was receiving some difficult news. I was intentionally going for a bit of humor at that point (it's okay to laugh at myself) and probably no one would expect me to say "holy shit" in public as I did. Take care, Debora
