The Matthew 25 Committee is thrilled to welcome back Hazel Krebs to discuss her book, Enthusiastically Me. Hazel preached at Second last fall, sharing her experience as a trans-woman. Her book covers how she came to realize she could only live her best life by transitioning to who she really is.
Enthusiastically Me, by Hazel Krebs
From Amazon: A journey of self discovery, covering only a few years, though a lifetime of emotions starting with despair and anguish created through expectations from family, society, and religion; eventually leading to discovering the beautiful life that was always held within. The journey uncovers the darkest paths of one existence, seemingly necessary to find the correct route for joyful happiness. The story begins in March 2018, when the narrator, who is in the throws of a depressive episode, considers if this day will be the end. Along the path is the first stop at a familiar park, finding a bench that held the whole life for an afternoon. Eventually moving on from the bench and parts of the life, there is a meeting at that very bench, which is frustrating at first; however, later becomes the start of a new path. This time perhaps with a helpful trailblazer to join. As the narrator navigates ups and downs of life, a conversation continues bringing more understanding of all the transitions he is going through, until one particularly monumental transition signals the perfect destination, which happens to be present the entire time. The outcome is discovering a life to be enthusiastic to live! These true events lead to a gender transition, yet the journey is for all people needing their on transition for the better life they already have within them.
