Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello!!!! I am so thankful to have found this amazing community!!! My name is Serenity, I'm 21 and just beginning my HRT. I grew up in northern MO in a very conservative religious family. I began dressing around the age of 13 and ever since then I've been striving to find my serenity. Now, I have an amazing fiancee (41) who adores me and would do anything for me. I lost most of my family members once i revealed my true self, all except my beautiful little sister of course (20) shes freaking awesome! I cant wait to get to know y'all, I hope to learn everything I can from those older and wiser from me. But I also hope that in someway I teach, give, or help y'all back. As I said, I'm] only 21 and just beginning my journey. I have a big heart, a large capacity for ppls hatred, I'm fearless, considerate, and bold. (Lover, Fighter, Friend) <3 I hope most of you have already found your serenity. If so, let me Thank YOU for being YOU, it inspires and empowers all of us!!

-MUCH LOVE!!!!!!!!! :)

Yes it is an anime. Serenity is the name of the future incarnation of the main antagonist and her future husband's name is Darien Shields in their present life.  :p

woah!!! That explains it!!! hahaha :) way cool King!!  ;D

Haha, I know, right?  That's why when I saw it, immediately thought of those two because it is very funny how that would work out.  :)

Now im definately gonna have to check that out!!!! :D I swear I had no idea! Funny, my nephew is way into that kind of stuff and he never said a word! haha!!

I grew up in southern Missouri myself, and now I live bout 30 miles south of Kansas City.

Hi Serenity and welcome to Susan's. I like your name.

:)

Why thank you Gennee!!!  :)

Hi Serenity, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm from the Boston area, getting ready for another snowstorm. I have a bit of a green thumb myself, I'm always busy propagating houseplants. Especially the ones that say "Do not propagate" on the tag, I do enjoy a challenge!  >:-) See you around the site!

Hugs, Devlyn

Wow, WAY COOL!!! :D I'm very familiar with cuttings! And I have a Hyacinth bulb i'm contemplating soil forcing to get some offsets! Its in a water vase for right now, and I've begun feeding it regularly so it can store food for what I have planned for it :) Have to wait until after bloom and chilling of course. But I'm pretty excited to start! I too enjoy a nice challenge. Its a pleasure to meet you Devlyn!!! :D

And sorry to hear about the snow!! Thats really crappy! :/ But I take it you have the space for indoor gardening! :P

I had room, years ago. Now the plants have taken over.  :laugh:  I unload a lot at work, the production floor looks like a jungle!

I'm with ya there!! :D hey its a good thing! who needs extra space anyway! hahaha! Where do you work? (if you don't mind my asking) bc if you're hiring I'm THERE!

Bring a machete!  ;D

Oh, I didn't answer your question, it's a small electronics assembly company. We do printed circuit board assembly, cable work, stuff like that.

Oh okay! My bad lol I thought you unloaded alot of plants at work! lol and No machetes for this girl! maybe a few stakes and bread ties!! hahaha! God I just love plants. Its insane how much time I can spend merely staring at them. :)

I did, every workbench has three or four plants, some of the vining ones are headed up the walls and across the floor. There's a ginormous aloe vera in the lunchroom, and it's sending up new ones. We have oxalis, haworthia, mother-in-laws tongue, gerbera, donkey tail, and an unknown with variegated leaves that I really like.

Never tried Bonsai, let us know if you give it a whirl!

Hugs, Devlyn

You bet!!!! :)

I'm a bit of a plant lover also. My sister used call my house, my jungle.

LordKAT; Is there a gardening section somewhere around here? If not could we possibly start one???! :D That would be so much fun!

I think it fits under hobbies. I will see what people think of a gardening board.
