Literally!
I finished editing a video for my channel, left the computer doing the export, and sat on the couch reading some stuff on my tablet. Five minutes later I casually looked in the direction of the computer and saw "some girl" in the screen. Well, it was me!

That is cool.

To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

Very cool! What a feeling huh? I've had moments like that. Like who is that woman staring back at me.

Congratulations!  ;)

I think we all carry around an internal self-image that lags years behind our current appearance. Sometimes that can catch us up when we are least expecting it.   It can be a fun experience, though!
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Congrats.

When I'm out and about in public and turn a corner where there might be a full length mirror I'm not expecting I'm often momentarily taken aback by the "great looking woman" walking towards me... "Oh, that's me! D'oh!" ;D
