My First Blog Post

Well, technically, this is not my first blog post. However, it is my first blog post in this capacity. As a massage therapist, I previously owned a web site and a Wordpress blog for my followers and subscribers. However, since I am deviating toward a different path at this point, I figured it best to follow suit with a new blog. And so, here we are!

If you are reading this, thank you for finding me important and interesting enough to spend a little while with me. I promise to make these entries here somewhat interesting and worthy of your time. To be honest, I am not 100% certain in which direction this blog is going to go. I created it mainly for the purpose of sharing random thoughts, feelings, and happenings that are going on in my life. I am somewhat tired of sharing things like this on Facebook; social media is fun but it is not as intimate of a setting as a blog. Does this make sense? Gosh, I hope so. 

My intent is to share more than just personal updates and random ramblings with you. I like to think that the content I offer is thoughtful, engaging, and incites some degree of feedback. So while there may be a few opinion pieces scattered among these posts, perhaps you'll also see things that may be of interest to you or someone you know. I've never aimed to have an audience for anything other than business reasons, although one might smirk at that declaration given that I am in fact quite active on social media. However, to be fair, social media gives everyone an audience, not just me. But I would be lying if I said that I don't often enjoy it... just a little bit. :)

I'll close this entry out by inviting you back for subsequent entries, the links for which I will share on my Instagram and Facebook posts. Hopefully, together, we can make my blog space one of your most enjoyable hangouts. ;)

Happy Sunday everyone! Or, rather... happy whatever day it is when you are reading this entry! Thank you for waiting patiently for me to add something so that I could fulfill my promise to make my blog site worth reading. I know many of you were sitting with bated breath... 😉 Tonight, I would like to touch on something that I had mentioned a few weeks ago and simply haven't gotten around to discussing.  Over the past few years, especially since I "came out" publicly this time last year, several people have asked me some pretty hard-hitting and thought-provoking questions regarding my transition. Now, before I dive into anything too deep, please keep a couple of things in mind: I am not going to answer those questions right here and now in this particular blog entry. I am, however going to create a separate page on my blog site to specifically address these questions... and more. I will send out a notice and a link for those who are interested. While I am pr...

A little light amidst the haze...

So, if you have been following my blog, you may remember from my entry on March 7th when I explained that, due to health issues that have been manifesting over the past few years, I had been taken off my HRT in July 2019 with no real promise of ever being able to go back on them. Just to clarify, this is normal protocol for any trans woman who develops any type of blood clot(s) - life-threatening or otherwise - until her physician(s) can determine whether or not there would be any compelling reason(s) for not putting her back on HRT... such as any potential (or imminent) threat to her health or her life. Estrogen is known as a potential instigator for serious complications, such as blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. But telling a trans woman that she must choose between a life spent worrying about mitigating these risks or a life without hormones at all is devastating, at best.  Although the absence of HRT does not make you any less transgender, not having it is akin to not h...

I am resolute with my intentions... or something like that...

Let me start by saying that I have a pretty kick-ass boss. I have heard criticism from some who say they cannot see eye-to-eye with her because they cannot seem to wrap their heads around her unconventional management style. And truth-be-told, as someone who is usually able to objectively examine from almost all angles, I can see their point of view and why they might feel this way. But that is a conversation that I cannot have with them because it would ultimately end with us declaring an impasse. Yes, her management style is a little unusual. But that is why I love, admire, and respect her. She has a heart, and she is a sucker for giving people chances, sometimes more than they deserve. She has a big presence and almost no filter; she is a no-bullshit kind of person. She is a strong leader and almost always wears her strongest game face, but she gets her feelings hurt just like the rest of us. She runs an entire program with 35 employees, doing her best to hold it together while jugg...
