Hi All,

I have been on hormones nearly 6 years and post op nearly 3 but when on when will I be able to wrap Christmas presents? :)

Joking a side I have noticed the desire to try and wrap nicely has increased it is something that I now want to be able to do it's just the ability is nowhere to be found

hopefully others have fared better

Merry Christmas

Carla

It is probably too late to do it now, but many years ago, I volunteered at a local shopping mall to wrap gifts at the Customer Service counter. I sucked at it, but there were some ladies there who had it down to an art and showed me how to do it. I still don't have their mastery, but it was a great way to learn.

Two words: 

Gift boxes

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.
