In the beginning...

Yesterday, I ended the day by making a decision to do what I know is the right thing but feels like I ripped my own heart out. 😭

Today, I made a decision that I am very uncertain of but it has me feeling like maybe there is a little hope for my financial future. 😊

Tomorrow, I'll have to make more decisions.  Good. Bad. Right. Wrong. I'll make each decision as it comes my way. Every choice we've ever made has brought us to where we are right now. We are all just doing the best we can to make more right decisions than wrong ones.

I love to write. Writing helps me to process things that are bouncing around in my mind. My writing is for me. I am choosing to share it with the world because I hope that some day it will help someone else.

I don't just write about the good stuff. I write about ALL the stuff. I used to blog quite often. A few years ago, I stopped because people close to me didn't understand what they were reading. It complicated my life in ways I just wasn't prepared for. I allowed the things that people in my life said to me to have more weight than my own needs. I made the decision to stop blogging. That was a mistake; a bad decision. Today I am choosing to make a different choice, a better choice for me,

If you choose to follow my blog, please know that there will be tough times. You will be joining me on this journey. You will see the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have no choice but to wake up and live it each day. Know that you have a choice. Feel free to turn back at anytime. Feel free to skip the parts that are too painful for you. I just ask that you keep an open mind about experiencing it all with me.

Gender Neutral Bathrooms

As the world continues to argue about whether it is necessary to have private bathrooms or gender neutral bathrooms in public places, people want to argue that we should keep things the same and everyone should use the bathroom for the sex listed on their birth certificate. They forget that people like me exist. When I'm out in public and need to use the bathroom, I have to decide whether I'm going to take a chance that I might upset the people in the men's bathroom or the women's bathroom.  I know that strangers are often confused about my gender.  Having lived as a feminine woman for many years, I'm very aware of how nervous women get around men they dont know, especially in spaces they arent expecting to see them.  I'm also aware that if a man is uncomfortable with me being in a space he feels is for "men only" that there is a chance that I will be assaulted.  What is more important, the discomfort of women or my own safety? You might be...

It Takes a Village

Family can be defined so many ways. When you Google it, you get a wide range of definitions that are inclusive of that fact that way families look has changed over the years. Here are some of them: a group of one or more parents and their children living together as a unit. all the descendants of a common ancestor. a group of people united in criminal activity. a group of related things. a group of curves or surfaces obtained by varying the value of a constant in the equation generating them. designed to be suitable for children as well as adults In my life, family has always been a complicated thing. There were the people I was related to by blood. The people I was related to by marriage. The people I am related to by law. The people I choose to have in my life. In the last few years, my family has changed significantly, and for the better. Today is National Step Family Day. Although my son doesn't officially have any step parents, he is lucky to have 2 wonderful people in his lif...

Attraction

Attraction is a complicated thing for me. Normally, I meet someone and as I get to know them, I find them more and more attractive. Because of this, I have dated all over the looks spectrum. Tall, short, big, small, dark, light, male, female, younger, older, etc. Maybe a handful of times, i have looked at someone that is so physically attractive to me, that I find myself staring.  More often than not, I date men. The reason for this is partially because of where I live. Another reason is that I find confidence very attractive and there is nothing more intimidating to me than a confident a woman.  The other night I was out at karaoke with friends. I saw a woman out of the corner of my eye. I immediately turned my head in her direction to see what exactly caught my eye. I can't even begin to tell you what was being talked about at our table at that moment because all I could hear was the blood rushing in my ears. I spent the rest of the evening trying not to stare. I tried to pa...
