I am to my love as my love is to me*

We met again on Winter’s day colder by far than month of May bold colors gone petals astray frosty words grew heavy From where came you? I ask of her Farther than yon North starts there Beyond twelve rivers I crossed them fair With all bold angels waiting To where had you gone she asked…… Continue reading I am to my love as my love is to me*

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

Really, men don’t do that?

If you read the last post I was talking about how M, C and I were sitting about talking about the things that girls talk about.

I had a bit of a panic attack yesterday, one should really expect that adjusting to…… Continue reading Day four

Look not to others

When I started on my journey I would hear the term “True Self” with derision. After all, I was who I was and I might change but my core would stay the same, right? Then months went past and the persona I had as a man was clearer to me. It was clear that was…… Continue reading Look not to others

Fantasy meet reality

In my prior post I talked about how I spent the year before I came out obsessing over transitioning. There was really no question what my heart wanted, but things are rarely so simple. Life in middle age is complex, I had a spouse, a dependent child in college, a job where I wasn’t sure…… Continue reading Fantasy meet reality
