Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello! My name is Shawna (AKA Colorado Girl). I live between Denver and Colorado Springs, and I'm a "sixty-something, fun loving gal who this past July began an amazing "later-in-life" transition (HRT, electrolysis, the works) to finally LIVE as the person I've always been on the inside! I hope to make wonderful friends here on this forum and be an example that we're never too old to begin life anew!  :icon_flower:

Hello Colorado Girl, welcome to Susan's Place and the Forums!

I lived in Monument for 15 years!

There is a lot of cold darkness in the world, but the warm glow of acceptance will never fade here at Susan's Place. We strive to make this this a safe place to find information, and to share your thoughts and comments regarding your journey. Just about everyone here has been confused about their gender at some point in their lives. Some discover they are non-binary, others realize they are transgender, while others may feel they fit best somewhere else along the spectrum. No matter where that may be, you are always welcome at Susan's Place.

Please review the links at the end of this message, they include information which will help you navigate the site and use the available features.  Once you reach 15 posts you will be able to send and reply to private messages, until then if you have any questions about the Susan's Place site and the Forums, please feel free to contact me via email at Jessica_Rose@susans.org

Once again, welcome to Susan's Place!

PS... I lived in Westminster in 1999... Love CO!!! 💕🤗💕

Welcome aboard! Same age here, and glad to have you here.
I went to high school in Loveland, and have lots of family in the area. I was stationed at Fort Carson for 18 months in between two assignments to Germany. One of my favorite places was Seven Falls. Beautiful scenery and LOTS of exercise to see it all.

Hey Sister!

I stayed in Loveland for a month when I was going to "bomb school" for UXO training... I loved sneaking up to Estes Park for lunch at The Stanley Hotel on our one day off every week!... I'm in the 60's club too! 63 in a couple months but, feeling like I am 30 (with a few extra decades of wisdom thrown in Lol) 💕🤗💕

Onward We Go Brave Sister!

Hugs!

Ashley  😀💕🌻

Love the Stanley Hotel! Spent a LONG night there ghost hunting. LOL
For breakfast, The Egg and I was the best place. They had three locations, but my Dad said some were closed. Great food.

Thank you SO much for welcoming me, my beautiful sisters! I knew this forum was different from others I'd experienced in the past (no names...lol). I'm so looking forward to the rest of my life and my time with all of you. At the moment I'm waiting for my subscription to be processed thru PayPal (it's been "pending" for a couple of days)...I'm excited to post my picture and become an actual member! Until then, hugs to you all!

PS - LoriDee - I'm a treasure hunter and metal detectorist, so I guess I'm a gold digger too!

That is awesome!

I have two metal detectors that I use. I have a Garret AT Gold machine that I use for nugget hunting, or in creeks and streams (it is waterproof) to locate lead shot. Usually where I find lead has collected, I find gold there too. I also have a Falcon MD-20 handheld machine that I use for checking cracks and crevices.

What do you use?

I add a welcome too, I am a Brit that also loves Colorado. I have visited it 3 time now, and hoping I can come again this year. Favourite areas include Estes Park and the mountains, Durango for the trains. Mesa Verdi, and Denver itself. 

It's never ever to late to be yourself being a septuagenarian myself.

Welcome welcome

Hugs sister

Hi Colorado Girl

Welcome to Susan's I hope you enjoy your stay here.  I have learned so much here and I hope you do to.

A journey begins with a single step and you have taken that initial step.

Take care and tell us your story I for one will appreciate it.

Beat wishes and hugs

Welcome Shawna!! 


We are so happy you joined us on Susan's!  Some of my most cherished memories are from exploring Colorado, areas out near Basalt and south around Ouray, such a beautiful place! 


Warm Hugs Girl, glad you are here!

I use a Garrett Ace 250 and and OLD White's Prizm III (the first machine I bought years ago)...they both still work great!
