Kia Ora One And All

Recommended Posts

Kia Ora,[to all the oldies who know me and those who don't]

:rolleyes: I've been away for a while,[but have checked in every now and again just to see how things were going]Anyway I had forgot my password so applied for a new one, however for some strange reason even though I was logged in, I seemed to be blocked from posting under my old name which was 'Jendar'=[the weird Kiwi lady]...It's possible when I left I deleted a lot of info from my profile which could have accounted for the strange goings on when I tried to post.Anyway so from 'Jendar' I've morphed to[open a new account under] 'Zenda'but I assure you I'm still the same ol weird Kiwi lady :wacko: ....

Umm :rolleyes: a brief re-intro = I was born 'transsexual' but now I'm a fully fledged 'woman' with no 'trans' prefix[ I have been since 2005 when I have 'affirmation' surgery] prior to that I had lived fully time as a 'trans'-woman for around 5 years-started HRT in 1997/8 went full time around 18months later, that is, I just blended into main stream society as a 'female'=5ft 4inches-122 pound [56kgs-I've 'reduce' my weight from 60kgs-through jogging B) ].Fortunately I was quite androgynous looking 'body and facial features' prior to starting HRT ...

I live in paradise B) -well a tiny laid back island in the South Pacific just off the coast of Auckland, Aotearoa's capital city-It's a beautiful island with beautiful beaches, bush walks, and beautiful laid back people B) .

If on the odd occasion I sign off with Metta 'Jendar' you will know why...[Mettais Pali [a language spoken at the time of the Buddha] for 'Loving Kindness'... BTW Kia Ora's a greeting in Maori[the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa=NZ]

End of brief re-intro ;) ...

Metta Zenda :D

PS no doubt I'll have to find my way around the forum again..And Sally those cookies were stale the chocolate cake was off and the coffee was cold so get your act together or no more tips from me ;)

I remember having Kia Ora shouted at me xD it was done in a friendly way, by a group of practicing religious folk - so I assumed it was nice :)

I love my Neighbours :)

So a big G'day Mate from Maria :wub:

Kia Ora Brenda,

:rolleyes: I hope you and your family are fairing well and enjoyed Xmas and new year, as for me, my life flows with the changes[nothing is permanent]so I just go with the flow=随波逐流=Sui-bo-zhu-liu B):rolleyes: which reminds me, for some reason I can't access my 'new' Zenda profile, also the email address I gave is not correct...So once I can access my profile I'll hopefully sort things...

WELCOME BACK, JENDAR!

It's so lovely to hear from you again after so long. It sounds like things are going well for you (how badly can they go in Paradise?? :) ). One more post and you'll have access to you profile again and can set things up the way you want. The Admins will be along in a few hours to get the accounts right.

I look forward to many fun conversations.

When you come back on you will find a fresh plate of cookies, some hot coffee and cocoa if you would prefer, the chocolate cake has to be earned as always so post something to really make me think. :D

It is so good to hear from you again, I have really missed our discussions - I have the same old PM address even though I have moved to New Orleans to live with Lizzy and Dee Jay.

Life is constantly changing and so it seems are we, so let's get reacquainted.

Love ya,

Sally

Laura, :rolleyes: 'uncanny' as in weird??? B):D I hope you're well Laura...

Hello Jendar,

Welcome back. It's good to see you again. I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of merging your old account with this new one. It's much easier to keep all your info in one place and it complies with our rule of one account for each member. :)

MaryEllen

Do you prefer to be known as Jendar or Zenda??

Link to comment

Kia Ora MaryEllen,

Nice to catch up with you again :)

As for the name 'e'ither-e'i'ther...Because I'm signing in as Zenda, it's easier for me to remember, but please feel free to call me either name... :)

Metta Zenda :)

Kia Ora Lizzy,

:rolleyes: Nice catching up with you again B)...

I've just read your post re: :angry::( at not feeling complete ...Life, Lizzy is what we choose to make of it- Our past as shaped our present and our present will shape our future...

:D Happiness :D is nothing more than a :( 'state of mind' :) ...Learn how to find happiness in the 'present moment' and it will automatically flow into the future with you!

To do this all you need to do is to accept what 'is' -and what 'is' is in a constant state of flux...In other words "Nothing is permanent!" Not even ones emotions...

:D Happy :D Mindfulness=contentment with what 'is' :mellow:

Metta Zenda :)

PS :rolleyes: by the time your mind has tried to decipherer :unsure: the above your depressed state will be well and truly gone :) ...

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.
    • KayC
      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Congrats to your family on the new addition!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)
