@KymmieL that's a great quote to read with coffee this morning, so true, and it feels great to look back on transition. Nice calm morning here, it's very quiet outside, the cat is upstairs, I expect her to come down to play soon.

 

Enjoy your day everyone,

@Josie Beth Welcome back!  I hope your new business takes off.  I know it will be slow at first.  Hang in there.  


I really don’t think it’s going to take off very quickly because of the situation we are all in but it’s ok. My only real concern is that I want things to resonate with people and not just be frivolous. I’m still working on various design decisions and probably going to focus on finding several different publishers so that I can rotate designs because many of them only run for a couple of days and then if it’s not selling then it’s pulled out of the rotation. Some people pad that by buying up the first 20 of their own products to get them to print longer. I understand the artificial shortage causes people to buy under normal circumstances but people are not really interested in buying much besides toilet paper and disinfectant, masks and hand sanitizer. It’s a very weird time to try starting anything new. But since I have a lot of time to figure it out I might as well do something productive instead of binge watching everything on Netflix until severe boredom drives me insane. And I just can’t stomach more than 15 minutes of news, sometimes not even that much.

Well my “polish practice” turned out fairly well. Only had to redo two nails lol. I was going to do my toes as well but unfortunately I smashed my pinky toe on my kids LEGO box and it is quite colorful already.

Justine that toe looks like a VERY painful experience..ouch!  I had to do something with my severely overdue nails too. I’ve been having them done at the salon since last August and wasn’t looking forward to starting to paint them myself again but the salons don’t look like they’ll be opening anytime soon. With the help of my wife and some masking tape, I was able to do a pretty good job of replicating the job our salon did.  I had broke a nail about six weeks ago so I had to cut them back considerably.  These won’t last near as long as my salon nails but they’ll get me by.

That looks really good Susan! I unfortunately can’t let my nails grow that long, I keep breaking them at work.

Both your nails look nice!   Justine you might want to get cuticle sticks to work around the edges to push the cuticle back.  That way you have a nice clear definition line like Susan is showing.  Your toe looks sore.  I hope it gets well quickly.

Justine, I was breaking my nails just about everywhere. I started taking over the counter Biotin. Seems to have worked for me. Susan I am still envious of your nails. I need to start painting mine again.

 

Off work, would up getting the bike out for a small ride. Felt good to behind bars again. This biker b-witch wants to ride.

 

So the rest of the week I am closing 12-7:30. nicer closing earlier. Couldn't believe all the people we had come through the store.

@Emily michelle Sometime I don't like you very much.  LOL

Its 28*F here and quite frosty on the windshield.  Just arrived at work and it is a ghost town out there.  Everyone seems to be in good sprites with that stressed out fear underlaying everything.

Just getting threw my travel mug and sitting at my desk wondering how life will go.  I feel amazing being me but the world is shut down so I cant really be out there.  

Oh well.

I still will wear a smile and be as happy as I can.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Don't rush yourself or your wife.  Let things happen organically.  You will know when it is time to tell all.  Its always going to be scary telling folks, especially those you love.  I can say now though I feel so free and that weight has been lifted off my soul.

Good Luck!

Your right I keep rushing it. I feel like since I know who I am now I just want to get the show on the road. But it’s a transition not a race.

Oh yes.  I did too.  You have to step back and realize you have been dealing with this your whole life.  Other have been dealing with it once you told them.  Your desire to make it all happen is at the end or middle of a long journey, but for others they are still in shock over your news.  Give it time hon.  Be patient with yourself and others.  In the end you are who you are inside and at least you know this and can look forward to your future as your true self.

Good morning. I'm jealous of everyone's gorgeous nails. I have guitarists nails that are super short.

Coffee almost done.

Warm steamy weather ahead this week. That usually means storms and even tornadoes. Not fun.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy day!

I know.  My wife keeps talking about it like I'm "flipping a switch" and it's just not like that.  At all.  Still, when it comes to coming out, there's a temptation to treat it like a band-aid that hurts less if you just rip it off...

Good Morning all. i'm just finishing my cup of joe and admiring the pics of the nails. Very nice! I work retail so I have to keep mine short. However I am now on a 30 day loa so I am going to try false ones for now.

It's going to be around 60 today and pushing 80 tomorrow.

Brandi, I too work retail. I have let my nails grow. I don't keep them long claws but longer than a mans.

 

Meta,  My wife thinks the same way that I can just flip a switch and turn my transgenderism off and on. That I just found the switch and turned it on one day.

 

almost 60 today. Of course the weather is going to be nice when I am working and crap on my days off. go figure.

Still this is a good indication that her perception and yours may not be fully aligned so take a look at how she is doing and work together!

Hello it's mid-afternoon and I'm having more coffee.

 

The neighbor kids have company and are mingling in the hallway outside my apt door.  It's strewn with their furniture like their extra living room.  Their grandma says it's stupid to social distance and we're all gonna get it anyway.  Seriously.

 

Nails are cool.  I don't have mine going now though.

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom

Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
No one can ever reprise

 

Good Morning all, April in Paris, but in an empty Paris, nearly dead Paris. I'm eager to get electrolyse face hair removal, to find a psychotherapist Everything's closed. Sometimes, I feel like i'm going to explode Inside. Thank you to be there. Reading you makes me feel better. A common fate, over the world. So many common points in our lives, in our childhoods. I'm not alone.

Have a good day when you wake up in few hours.

Kiss

Sophie

Good morning everyone! 
I had to mow the yard for the first time last night and I realized I need a landscaper and mower lol. Temps in the 80s today. My wife gave me some of her old bras which they don’t fit but was a nice gesture nonetheless.

hugs

Emily

      Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad that you found what makes you happy! Just curious what does your wife think? If it's too personal I understand.

      Bob was on his way home from the dojo and he "just happened" to driver by her place. It was 10:30.  Her light was still on.  He knew exactly where she was sitting.  He saw her in his mind.   A fierce wave of desire that took his breath away suddenly showed up. All he had to do was stop, get out of the car, walk to the door and knock.  She would answer, glad to see him.  She would know why he was there and what he wanted. She would invite him in, maybe get him something to drink, disappear for a moment and return in "something more comfortable."  She would lead him back. Oh, joy.   And never, ever speak to him again afterwards.  Or she would not let him in but be angry about it.  In no way, emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually, was she ready for this, and he knew it, if he was honest with himself, and she knew he knew it.  She would look upon it as another assault and their relationship would be irretrievably broken.  He would have to leave town. It would devastate her. It would devastate him.    He fought himself.  He was frozen to his seat as his reason and his body fought. He was twenty four years old, a full-blooded male with normal desires; he had just worked out and he was ready.  All he had to do now was open the car door. No one would know. He held his hands, one in the other, to keep one from moving, against his reason and will, to open that door.  He did not want to be a slave of his desires.   He looked across the street.  Mrs. McCarthy, sister of his landlord, was peeking though her window.  She knew his car.  Everyone in town would know by noon the next day if he got out of the car.  Taylor did not need that, either, and she would know, if he came to the door now, what a selfish thing it would be: in his own eyes, in the eyes of Taylor, in the eyes of the town, and worst of all, in the eyes of God.   He sat there a moment longer.  He was, as he reflected, entering into her sufferings in a small way that she would be made whole, healthy and happy: what he wanted more than anything.  But this hurt.  Why had all this come on her?  He asked God again, but there was only silence. He drove home in that silence. He chided himself for even going on her street and for driving on it other nights.  He would stop that, he told himself.   ------------------------------------------   The next morning Taylor went out to her car to go to work.  Mrs. McCarthy met her before she got to it. "I thought you were going to get lucky last night, dearie," she said. Taylor was puzzled. "Why, what do you mean?" "That young fellow - you know, Bob - he's been driving around here, going up and down the street some nights, not stopping.  Well, last night he parked and sat in his car for a while.   I think he was staring at your window.  I think he was trying to get up the courage to knock on the door. I was rooting for him.   But then he drove away.  Faint heart never won fair lady, as they say. What a shame. You two are a lovely couple.  Well, have a good day!" "Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy."  Taylor knew Bob extremely well and knew what had been going through his mind.  She was more than grateful he had not gotten out of the car. Better for him, better for her, better for everybody.  Surgery "down there" sooner than later.  This was driving the poor boy crazy. It was driving her crazy, too.  But she had a lot to work through. Surgery "up here" she said, pointing to her head.  She woke up her therapist on the way to work.  They were still talking when she pulled into her designated parking spot.  That was a perk that had happened yesterday.  She took a deep breath and headed into work. It would be another wild day.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
