...i have stuttering relief. it comes in the form of a little hearing aid-esque device that slips sweetly and neatly into my left ear. it is removable, which is a plus because it amplifies every.single.sound. and is hard to wear 24/7. but it is beautiful. and the joy and freedom it grants me is beyond belief. it's slow, methodical process, this healing and reforming. but i didn't get here overnight and it won't disappear overnight either. it is no sprint. rather, it's a walk, a saunter through the meadow at times and a trudge through snowy grounds at others. but i'm glad God chose me to take this path, however difficult and embarrassing and downright hard it can be. because finally, blissfully, there is a glimmer of light appearing from the shadows, a distant end to this tunnel. and it's like i just got new walking shoes.

wow!! Courtney, congratulations! best of wishes for the meadow saunters and snowy trudges that await, and hopes that you'll continue to share your adventures :)
I am so happy for you :) congratulations.
I am so thrilled for you over this. In my Teaching Exceptional Students class we touched very briefly on visual/hearing/speech impairments and I shared what you wrote about this amazing device and what little I know about how it works. I was surprised no one in my class, not even my professor, had heard of it - It seems like such a genius and inconspicuous little device.
What an amazing relief and reprieve this must bring you. :)
And thank you for your kind words regarding finals a week or so ago. Iron and Wine has been on repeat even more than usual these days.
Like the others, I am so very pleased for you my dear friend Courtney. It must be like a little miracle for you! Blessings & hugs.
Congratulations, Courtney!! So excited for you! Cannot wait to hear what sort of wonders this works for you!

Many congrats! I hope this brings you the relief you deserve.
Courtney, it is so inspiring to see you embrace the path that God has shown to you, and that it has led you to this place. So glad for you!
Loved reading this :) With a sister and many friends with a hearing loss, I know the excitment this little miracle must bring to you.
Congrats dear friend! I'm so excited for you!
WOW! what an amazing thing? I had no idea it even existed. What a great blessing :)
I hope this is a nice, scenic path for you filled with minor bumps and niches. When I saw the picture, I thought you wore hearing aids. I do, I have had them for 25 years due to a degenerative hearing loss. It gets worse and worse and I can barely hear without them. With them is so so...depending on if I am facing the person or source of sound. It is always an obstacle...24/7. But I have hope, as do you, that one day we will find the peace to communicate like everybody.
Happy Holidays to you, Robert and Pablo!

Yes you understand the beauty of how devices and medications and such can help us, gradually over time they add to our journey and shape our spirits and build our character...., they teach us, if we allow.
thank you for sharing such a beautiful part of you
