Caitlyn is Free

Bruce was carrying around a lot of secrets. Caitlyn has no secrets.

As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I'm free.

Those were the chilling words, or shall I say chilling truths, coming from Bruce Jenner as he prepped on the set of his Vanity Fair cover shoot with famed photographer Annie Leibowitz.

Chilling.

This man has been walking around unhappy for basically his entire life, and as he begins the next phase of his journey he can finally rest.

She is now free.

I find this all so inspiring. For Bruce Jenner (Bruce Jenner!!)  to have the courage to tell his story, in this manner, at this time, is just so inspiring. I feel moved. I can feel the thousands of people, if not millions, being helped by his every action.

The cover of Vanity Fair! That's not a publicity stunt, and it's not a rebranding. It's one of the most courageous moves in self-discovery, personal affirmation, and confidence that any of us have ever witnessed from a person.

She is helping to shape perceptions and save lives.

That's why it's important that we tell our story. Sharing the experiences we have and the struggles we go through collectively helps everyone around us. When we learn about what people go through in their lives, we build up strength to get through our own.

Sharing our stories can change the world.

Bruce said he wanted to change the world, and Caitlyn is doing just that.

What's your experience...share your story.  JIM
