Tonight I went out dressed as Jennifer! A good friend who has known about me for awhile took me out for a drive.We went to a town 50 miles away for coffee.I never got out of her car ,but as I was getting into it a man walked right by me and never looked twice.I followed everyones good advice ,I kept my head up and just got into the car.It was a small step but a really good one.I can now build on this.I really appreciate everyones support,without it I would not have done this

Congrats Jennifer

It really does get easier the more you go out.
I'm planning a little walkabout myself in the near future.
Hugs,
Danette

I can say this with facts, you will never forget that first trip out and about.

We are proud of you as you can see --- another ambassador hits the streets, so to speak!!
Don't be afraid, I think a lot of us have visions of the scene from Frankenstein where the mob attacks with pitch forks and torches -- ain't gonna happen!
As you can see, it's one step at a time and you will open up a new world for some of our sisters who may also be tentative about going out. See, you have already made a difference.
Love ya.
Virginia
congrats!!

Bravo Jennifer!

It does get easier. I remember my first time I had to get gas. I had to step out of the car. I wanted to go to a large store (Meijer) and just wanted to walk up the parking lot and back to the car. I chickened out. A few times later, heck I order dinners by myself in restaurants!
It is so much fun and as your confidence grows, you'll notice nobody pays attention.
Congrats!
