I think I for one could take a leaf out of your book. I know what you mean though. I found a new confidence in myself as well. I'm a teacher and for so long I've been such a quiet person but now feel I can say and do so much more. This I attribute to my BC journey. I went through chemo last year and my work colleaagues were with me every step of the way. They became my "family" and the support was amazing. I felt so comfortable that I used to take my scarf off in the staffroom on very hot days.
Let us know how the course is going and well done you!
All the best with everything
