Walking in Other Women's Shoes

Two years ago, an unlikely place held a valuable lesson for me. I’m not sure I deserved it, nor I was proud of how I got it, but it was mine, nonetheless. 2021 proved to be exceptionally challenging, perhaps the most trying year I've ever faced, in terms of dealing with people.
