I’m sitting here with my best friends. This isn’t rare, I sit with them every night. At this moment, though, we are face to face (instead of computer to computer). As Tiff says, “Our profile pictures are moving,” and it’s glorious. Not all of us are here, though. There are holes…empty chairs. One of those chairs should be filled by this incredible, lovely woman who I am so honored, so privileged to know. As a favor to me (because I ask for what would most benefit you), please read what she has to say about womanhood and humanity. Ashley, we love you, and we can all relate so deeply and so tearfully to what you have artfully poured out today.
