What is your goal? This is an important question and I will claim that your happiness depends on your goal. I’ve heard it said that you cannot depend on others for your happiness and I have found that to be more than a little bit true. Yet this missive is not about happiness per se,…… Continue reading Self Acceptance, Loss and Validation

Help me grow…
As far as I’ve been able to figure out, which actually is pretty difficult to do, this blog is reaching between 100 and 150 people between wordpress, facebook, linked in and twitter. I’ve been letting it grow “organically”, back following other bloggers, handing out business cards as I run into people I think might be…… Continue reading Help me grow…
What’s Transitioning?
Definition: the process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. That’s helpful, we know what a transition is. What does it mean for a person to transition from male to female or female to male? That’s more complex. There are at least three different things people talk about using the same…… Continue reading What’s Transitioning?
The Sculpture
She starts with tiny ball of clay, It slowly grows day by day, Follows plans spare yet Divine, Soon there follows mind and spine, As weeks pass it has a face, And four limbs all joined in place, And so it stays for weeks and months, Growing always leaps and bumps, Then it starts to…… Continue reading The Sculpture
Happy New Year
First and foremost may 2016 be a better year for us all. Life involves change and while not all change may be welcome, it will happen anyway. It remains to us whether we embrace change or fight the losing battle for stasis. For me last year was all about change, and change that remains in…… Continue reading Happy New Year
The true cost of SRS
People live through many good and bad times in their lives. If you are trans, signing up for some type of reassignment surgery is just one more of these. No one reading my post should think that deciding to get SRS, preparing for it or moving on afterwards is a world of rainbows and unicorns.…… Continue reading The true cost of SRS
Tick, tick, tick, tick
It’s 7:30am, I woke at 6am for the morning ritual involving what everyone’s morning ritual is. Adequate sleep, still pretty darn calm, and the countdown timer is marking the hours. 22:30 minutes and counting before they push liquid into my veins and ask me to count down from 100. Why 100? You never get beyond…… Continue reading Tick, tick, tick, tick
Losing Gracefully
The journey isn’t a fast ride down a froth filled river of cold water. There are hazards, but they approach in a more leisurely pace than submerged boulders or icebergs at sea. The dangers are seen and unseen but have to do with finding happiness. Somewhere at the start of my journey a friend warned…… Continue reading Losing Gracefully
Flowering
Long time the seed is nurtured there, Beneath the soil with hope and care. Watered well and planted right, It waits the day to seek the light The seasons change, the seasons turn, Ages change a love that yearns, To hold again a loved one near, Remembering the warmer years At last the sun is…… Continue reading Flowering
Freedom
Tied to earth with bonds held strong, Hardened ages twisted tight. Ruled by darkness shirked the light and never saw the path Then a star at last appears, To bring some hope to wayward fears. Dimly seen, an answered prayer to end the corded misery Shattered stories laws upturned, Justice found in words not hear.…… Continue reading Freedom
