I'm so proud of you and how open you are about your past life. Our western, judgemental attitudes are what make it difficult. When I lived in S.E. Asia, especially Thailand I was amazed at how the women could switch so easily, from Bar girl, to hair salons, or go-go dancer to housewife no criticisms just acceptance of their need to survive. Africa was the same and the women also accepted us guys for what we were, especially when we were open and treated them in a gentlemanly manner.

I began to love and accept and lose the old jealousy monster. I wish that our societies would just stop and love all, no matter what we've done.

I bless you and your work. The fact that you are proud and open makes me love you and your writing more.

Take care.
