Got told by my therapist that she enjoys talking to me. That certainly made my day today.

That's awesome it's always great when your therapist enjoys your sessions as much as you do lol mine is the same we have so much fun during our sessions

My upper lip is officially hair-free!  Whoopee!  (Well, unless some new rogue hairs start growing there.)

Congrats I'm still doing laser hair removal but am really starting to question rather or not the place I go to is just ripping me off or not

My wife made me happy today, we went shopping for makeup and she picked out some essentials for me. I have a friend who's husband is a drag artist and he coming round to help with makeup, he's going to help me find a natural look that matches my skin tone. My initial attempts at nails today also made my wife happy. By happy I mean she laughed her ass off at me.

So the people round me and my wife who have been supportive and happy for me. Made me happy.

Yesterday, actually: I got complimented on my bracelet and my skirt by my pharmacist. Long story detailed in my personal thread, but we ended up on a first name basis.

@Steph2.0
Dear Stephanie:   
This is definitely a good report that is worth sharing.
Yes, I did indeed read your "long story" about your pharmacist adventure on your personal thread.   

I hung on to every word...  very encouraging for you and very encouraging for your readers too.

Thanks for your post.
Hugs,
Danielle

I ran down a flight of stairs this morning and felt my tiny, 4-month-old boobs bounce

Hee-hee!  That's a great sign!  Pretty soon, the bouncing will get old and you'll either want a bra or you'll change the way you walk down stairs.

Great! Yeah, I remember when mine started doing that too, only mine kinda hurt when they bounce. Awesome stuff. Congrats!

This was not from today but yesterday, it still counts. Yesterday I attended a Pride fair in Northern Colorado and met a family of four; cis parents and brother (I believe) and a beautiful young daughter, probably upper teens. What stuck me was that this family was together laughing and enjoying time together and that this young woman was being raised, loved and nurtured by a fully committed family.......just the way every child should be. It was so awesomely proper and right that it brought tears to my eyes, literally crying for joy while watching what is best about this world we live in. It gave me more hope for our world than I have felt in a long time.

I can't imagine needing bra one day! I'm very thin and anticipate always having tiny boobs. I'll love them nonetheless

After just two sessions with a therapist I got my letter. I have my first appointment with an endocrinologist on the 1st of August. I'm so excited!

Congrats! A very big step along your path! Only two weeks to go!

It is definitely always good to get that validation from somebody else in this case your therapist that you're making the right step in your life and it's it's definitely a big step and I promise you already going to enjoy every minute of it it is just wonderful

Copied from my blog, but too happy not to share...

Today I learned the phrases.  "Your shirt has darts and you have boobs.  People will notice that.". Predictably, I then had the biggest smile on my face!

Went to my therapist for the first time today WITHOUT my doctor's mask! And it was an unusual time for me, seemed like there were LOTS of people at the clinic!

My new full lace wig. I am so happy and when I look at me in the mirror I can now see a woman.

Your new wig looks great, dizz! I think that the colour and style really suits you!

Hugs,
Kelly

Thank you so much. I am really happy with the style and color. It was a special order and very expensive but it worth it...

As far as wigs go, you do get what you pay for! I started out with a less expensive model. I found that the better, more expensive ones, last longer, fibres hold their form and therefore look better. My latest one is a heat model and can handle being styled with a flat iron or heat rollers. That is as long as the temps can be controlled and be with in the expectable range.

All the best!
Hugs,
Kelly
