BUT I still remembered to dedicate a song and that brought a smile to my weary face. Hope you felt it......

Thank you, Heather! I wish I could’ve been there to see you sing Free Fallin’. You do such a wonderful job singing anything by Petty. I have no doubt everyone there enjoyed it.

You got this, Heather. Today's courage is all you need—One thing at a time. Too late to give up now . . . just "Don't give up" One of the greatest songs ever by Gabriel (or anyone).

Big hugs today.

I was listening to Poco's album Running Horse. My wife told me I sound like Jack Sundrud (he was in a band called Great Plains with a really good song called Faster Gun) and I told her I'd had some email conversations with him over the years and she thought it was me when she heard this song.......

Mazel tov on this milestone @Shay ? lol. When my husband and I first dated in 2005 (we separated for 7 years before coming back together - we each had demons to slay before we could really be together...), he dedicated the Death Cab for Cutie song "Where Soul Meets Body" to us. 

 

I want to live where soul meets body

And let the sun wrap its arms around me,

And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing

And feel... feel what it's like to be new.

'Cause in my head

There's a Greyhound station

Where I send my thoughts

To far-off destinations

So they may have a chance

Of finding a place where they're

Far more suited than here.

I cannot guess what we'll discover

When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels,

But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's

And not one speck will remain.

I do believe it's true

That there are roads left in both of our shoes,

But if the silence takes you

Then I hope it takes me too.

So brown eyes, I'll hold you near,

'Cause you're the only song I want to hear.

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

Where soul meets body.

Where soul meets body.

Where soul meets body.

And I do believe it's true

That there are roads left in both of our shoes,

But if the silence takes you

Then I hope it takes me too.

So brown eyes, I'll hold you near,

'Cause you're the only song I want to hear.

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

I can’t get this out of my head. It’s an ode to one of the more controversial of our sisters, Chelsea Manning. Listening to it brings me comfort.

I like this song “Touch and Go”…very relaxing and easy on the ears. I had not heard this before. Thanks for the share, Erica Gabriel.?

@Vidanjali I'm glad you both conquered and came back together stronger. Beautiful song

@Erica Gabriel I'm a Chelsea Manning fan of sorts. She has been through so much and lived to tell it. She is the real deal. Beautiful song.

@Erica Gabriel @Beatriz @Susan R @Jani @Cyndee played for 3 hours in the sun (actually under a tent but the sun was still there big time and the temp was around 90) and after the gig, although I drank a lot of water you should have seen the white salt mark on my black shirt and I had a bit of heat exhaustion BUT I still remembered to dedicate a song and that brought a smile to my weary face. Hope you felt it......

 

Hi @Shay Thanks a lot for the dedication! That sounds like it was an exhausting but very nice gig. I did think about the dedication last Sunday. Sorry for the lack of response; it's been a tough last week...

Oh wow! I loved Tubular Bells - found the record at a thrift shop way back in the day. Thanks for the memory. Right around that time, this was an anthem I listened to nearly every day. "Yoo Doo Right" by Can. (Sorry - I didn't know how to embed this video in this post, just the link.)

      @Ladypcnj So nice to meet a fellow musician and moderator/facilitator. Glad you are an active and caring member of the LBGTQ+ community.

      Absolutely. Being able to encourage, to help, others is so empowering. I've been helped by so many people over the years, I love being able to pay it forward.

      Good morning, everyone!!   A busy day ahead for me - need to cut the grass and then pick up the clippings. The grass grows so quickly this time of year. I cut almost 7 acres so that will take up most of my day. At least I can get some sun on my legs and arms!!   Time for another cup of coffee as I catch up here.   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      I started shaving my legs years ago - I started getting an occasional mild contact rash on my shins. That became my excuse to shave them for both me and my wife. Over time, the rash didn't expand...but my shaving did. Full legs....groin......chest......and finally my arms. Keeping the rash at bay was my excuse until I came out to my wife. Now I typically do a full shave on Sunday mornings. The hair is lighter but I just feel better with it gone - it helps with the dysphoria and dysmorphia. I will also typically do a chest touch-up mid week since I notice the growth more there.   I wish someone would invent a pill that would stop hair growth everywhere except on your head.

      Good morning.   im not sure where the time went.  I had a decent nights sleep,  didn’t  tell Alexa to let me sleep another 5 minutes,  I didn’t do anything extra but it’s almost time to leave and I just got here.  Definitely only a one cup morning.    I have the overhead console out of the Ford. It needed some repairs with toothpicks and glue.  Been sitting all night t for the glue to harden. I’m always to impatient with glue but not this time.  I want it to hold. Ok the next owner won’t be able to change the lightbulbs however in my defense, the are led so they will likely still work when the car goes to the salvage yard.   gotta go. Not as much on my plate at work today but it’s always busy.   Willow

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time
