Wow.

@JAMA_current is celebrating 40 years of "A Piece of My Mind" narratives with this special issue with a few of the many beautiful stories shared over the years.

I'm included with some of my favorite writers in this issue.

Wow.

#grateful

When I wrote this essay "The Nod", I held on to it for 2 full years. Out of fear, mostly.

Even though I knew it was important, it meant so much to me when it was accepted.

I cried when I saw that it was chosen again.
I am crying now.

I feel so seen.

Do you have a story to tell?
Tell it.

Do you have a unique voice?
Use it.

Do not be afraid. Your lens matters. Your story matters.
You matter.

Thank you @JAMA_current for giving me this nod--and for making this issue open access.

We need stories now more than ever.

And to the other authors included in this issue (and others over the years)--congratulations.

I see you.

Here is my story.

Oh, and to be included in ANY publication ANY where with @LouiseAronson @Gurpreet2015 @colleenmfarrell @adamcifu or @RedMDND?

I consider that a win.

And if there is someone else awesome my #zoombrain missed? Charge that to my head and not my heart.

Happy Tuesday, y'all.
