I would have to say that this is really not a trans subject. This is a paean to the blessings of a good life, and the joy of choosing attainable goals. I only describe my vision of a happy life. Yours may be different. Mine won’t look like this in ten years or maybe it…… Continue reading On being happy

Binging and Being a Woman
I’ve had a lot of stress including a lot of emotional stress recently. I took yesterday off, I had a midday thing and I needed some peace and quiet too. I was on the way home, stopped off at the drug store and picked up some sugar in the form of a bag of mini…… Continue reading Binging and Being a Woman
Behold Beauty
True beauty within the craggy face The glow of ancient eyes Belies the light within You see the young girl fulfilled All glorious with the completeness Of a soul unchained Filled to the brim Sees the morning light Glows with compassion for the people Who gather at her feet, Earth mother They cry and receive…… Continue reading Behold Beauty
Betrayed by a bit of lace
I was sitting in a chair at Bare Minerals getting made up to try one of their foundations. I’m making the woman who’s doing the make up and another customer laugh. I told the beautician O that I had been to see some one who treats folks like me well, and I knew she knew.…… Continue reading Betrayed by a bit of lace

Hair B Gone

While not unheard of, facial hair in women in an untreated state has been relegated to the circus tent. Although one does wonder how many of…… Continue reading Hair B Gone
Understanding – too late?
Some time ago when I was starting the process, but before I started transitioning, our daughter was living with us. She and I, who used to get along rather well got along rather poorly. She told her mother that I was basically not the same person and when I heard that I was so damaged…… Continue reading Understanding – too late?
The Vagina Monologues
I watch what is doubtlessly too many videos on YouTube. Many of them are educational. Some aren’t, being entertained is ok, it can be a nice way to end the day.
