Dear Friends, Readers, and Followers...

Welcome to my latest personal Blog thread.   This will be my continuing story of my life endeavors.   

I relocated here in January of 2017 to small town Alaska life from Eastern Montana where I was born,
and I was raised on my parents cattle ranch.  I loved the rural life, land, horses, life values, etc.

I own and operate my woman-own business... I am a CPA and have a tax and financial planning
business that serves private and business clients.

I started HRT in March of 2015, went full time in December of 2016.   I moved here immediately
after going full-time and quitting my executive accounting job at a mid-size company.

I enjoy the life that I now have... I have a sweetheart... she is a Dental Hygeienist at a local
Dentist office here.  I first met her when I had an appointment with my new local Dentist in April of 2018.
I will often refer to her as my Tooth-Fairy.

Next door to my office is a local coffee shop that in this small town is the gossip center and de-facto
meeting and greeting, and social gathering place for many of the townspeople. 
With the acceptance and support  of my tooth-fairy and the owner of the Coffee Shop, and even though
I arrived here as a full-time, 100% passing woman, that is where I officially came out to everyone. 
I did not want any gossip about the new blue-eyed blonde lady that just arrived.... and
now there were no secrets or stealth past to hide.  No mental burdens to load me down.

When I first moved here, I had quite a time sorting out my emotions as I was the Hunted Prey target of
most of the single men here, of which there are many, mostly sportsmen, hunters, loggers, etc.   I had
gone through the gauntlet of dealing with both male and female suitors that were vying for my attention.
I went on quite a few nervous dates until I finally met my tooth-fairy.

I live in a home and on a property about 2 miles from town.  In the winter months, we typically have snow,
ice, and bitter cold temperatures... 
        TODAY:   This morning January 02, 2023 I woke up to minus -33 degrees(f) [-36 deg C]

Winter solstice was a little over a week ago on December 21st....  shortest days and longest nights.
                 Sunrise: 10:26am
                 Sunset:   2:46pm


So, this is the beginning of my latest Blog here on the Forum.
I will be adding more comments and thoughts .... and pictures as I continue submit postings.

As always... please feel free to post here with your comments and thoughts... nothing reasonable
is off-topic.  Consider my Blog thread to be a kind of community gathering place where we can
meet, greet, exchange comments and thoughts, and have conversations.

I will be certainly posting more when I have time...

Many HUGS
, my best wishes to you, and Thank You for reading my Blog.

For our returning members.... Welcome back after the site's CRASH
I know first hand how disappointing to see that much what we had shared about our journeys and
about our life trials and tribulations here on the Forum are lost....
            However
I just did a quick internet WEB search for some of my past activity I found text, excerpts from
postings and many photos that I had posted here on the Forum and on other sites.

I am eagerly looking to read your new postings around the Forum with your thoughts and comments.

Warmest Regards,
Danielle

Dear Oldandcreaky
I am glad to see that you made it back "home" here to the Forum.

Well, it appears that all of us on the Forum got a "reset button" ...   
Many of us have lost quite a bit of our pesonal threads, private messages
and photos.....   but with some time we can get back to even a better
place than we were....   think positive.

Thank you for coming to my newest and latest Blog thread.... 
I will be eagerly looking for you future postings around
our "new" Forum.

If you ever have any questions about the Forum, please feel
free to contact me.
Many HUGS .... and WELCOME BACK
Danielle [Northern Star Girl]

Well, the forum looks different and lots of info is lost, but Danielle is as sweet as ever and hooray for that!

Stay warm Danielle!! Down here in Cascadia we're in our usual winter pattern of rain, rain, grey, rain and just when you get tired of it being gray all the time- we have more rain!

I almost prefer our below freezing days.... then we get crazy bright blue clear skies!

Hugs!!

Hello Danielle.  Wishing you well in the new year!
But now old friends they're acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day.

I missed all of you. It is good to see you back here Danielle.

I don't really like the new format.  But, maybe it can be rebuilt like it was?  Meanwhile, how long will I have to verify myself for each post?  The math isn't hard, but seeing the letters is.

Thank you, Danielle, for launching a new blog while this website is being reborn. I always appreciate you being here as you inspire my sweetheart and me. Thank you for your stories, which help us to believe in possibilities.

Fall 2018 my sweetheart's coming out full time! :icon_female:
She began HRT but had adverse reactions, so gave up on coming out to protect her health.
Summer 2022 I went through gender confirmation surgery as a result of cancer.
2024 her cardiologist and a therapist wrote letters approving of resuming HRT, and now she's getting on the calendar for surgery!

Thursday, about 6:00pm Alaska time ....  Hello everyone... I hope that you had a good day today. 

I am getting excited that the rest of the Forum Staff and I are finally getting
things fixed up and in order on the Forum.  It is a work in progress but we are
getting there one piece at a time.

Good news, I finally have all of my current and past Blog thread links fixed. 
They can be found in the Signature Line at the end of any message that I post.
For newer members that are not familiar with my life journey here on the Forum
please take a little time to read my postings... I am always happy to reply to
any questions that you might have.

Another typical COLD winter day here ...
    ....right now the temperature is minus -24 degrees(f) [-31 deg C]

The furnace at the building that my office is in was acting up today and the
only warm and cozy place in the building was at the next door coffee shop so
I took my laptop with me and did much of my work and client meetings there.

The daylight hours are getting longer now, and the nights are getting shorter...
    less than 4 hours of sun in the sky and a little over 18 hours night time.

I left my home to go to work this morning just after 6:30am and I didn't get home
until about 15 minutes ago....  a 12 hour work day... that is how it goes
when I own and operate my own business.

Thank you for coming to and taking the time to read my Blog thread ramblings.
You are always very welcome to post any of your comment and thoughts here, even
off-topic is OK  (within reason of course !!!)

HUGS, and my best wishes to you.
Danielle

It is a COLD night tonight:

         

Note:   The F and C scales come together at (minus) -40 degrees
..... -40 deg(f) is exactly the same cold temperature of -40 deg (C)


HUGS, Danielle

When it's that cold, use the Kelvin scale. -40F becomes 233K, which doesn't sound cold at all.

I know you're used to low temperatures and have appropriate clothing, but that's just too cold for me!

Dang.  We're supposed to hit the low teens on Monday, and everybody is freaking out over here LOL.

It's all about what you're used to, I guess!

My daffodils have started growing here in NJ. They think spring is here. -40 is crazy. I don't know how you handle that.
