Diane Avedovech
|
Join us as MCC member, Diane Avedovech, shares her spiritual journey and her journey of transition:
"Three times my life was challenged and I give God credit for pulling me through to where I am today, i.e. My birth in 1938, being hit by a 24-ton tank while on active duty, and surviving bacterial pneumonia. I've been married twice, have three incredible kids and 4 awesome grandchildren. Sometimes, being transgendered seemed like a piece of cake, almost! So, what's for dessert? Stay tuned!"
