I suppose it's time I introduced myself

Hi all, I suppose you could say I am a newbie oldbee. 
Well I was here before about six years ago and I got curious to see if there was anyone left I know from back then. So far not, but then I haven't checked out the chat rooms yet.

I am an intuitive (Empath) sixty years old had eleven children go under my roof through the years nephews nieces three children of my own and four foster children. I am presently, well, for the past five years grandmother of 6 grand-kids. Needless it say I love children the last foster children I was in care of was four years ago by consent of the mother. I worked at many different jobs at different trades most were mostly female employees.

I always preferred being in the company of other women and was androgynous in appearance and always wore my hair shoulder length so for me transitioning was not a big deal but getting there and making the decision was not so easy. Fear of the consequences of how people would react was the biggest hurdle for me to jump. Once I did I was surprised that there was no reaction at all as though I had always been a woman, and here I speak of a small Ontario Canadian  rural town. 

This is five years now living as Cynthia and had SRS two years ago, hmmmm weren't much down there to speak of. Twernt worth keepin.

Hi welcome back 
i also is back after some time.

Welcome, Cin!

I'm pleased that you've come back and I'll be looking forward to reading more of your posts.

again, WELCOME ! ! 

Welcome back.
I have only been here for a year, but welcome back none the less.

Hello,

I found your post very cheering. I am looking forword to more of them.

Smiles,
Peggiann

Thank you much Peggiann, Wickham, Hellen, Kia, Jillieann for the welcome.

Pegiann, Keeping an upbeat attitude wasn't easy but after working as a social worker for 17 years I learned that an upbeat approach and being empathic helped greatly. I retired from social work a year ago now so I now devote a lot of my time on metaphysical boards and still use an upbeat approach. You have to have an upbeat approach, imagine entering a message board full of sensitives who can read your vibes like reading a book. I enjoy this kind of work I have two boards of my own I run and presently working on starting a cyber school for intuitive children. Anyway as a child I had two skeletons in my closet. I am an empath indigo and transsexual. I do not like labels anymore then the next person because that can tend to pigeonhole a person. Some people can also find this to be a form of rejection. The transsexual part has been looked after having been integrated into society as a woman now for five years I rarely even give the word a thought. On the other hand being an indigo can still have somewhat of a stigma attached to it. 

Well I love sharing with people and learning as I support inform and teach others in turn. And please do share with me I was pretty good at the above on this group as well six years ago. 

PS I don't bite.....well maybe ankles.

Welcome, Cin.

I'm an older postop, too, but fairly new to Susan's Place.

One difference you may find is that we have a great bunch of guys here, too.  Another may be that the resources provided - Wikipedia & Links - are growing day by day.

Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Robyn

Hi ya Reikirobyn, Tinkerbell, Brandi, geeeeee thank you all for the welcomes. Nice to meet you all.  Ya I visited some of the other forums and will again. It's kind of slow on my board and the others I go to right now.

Hi Robyn My partner Paula says you look familiar to her, I think you really look good hun, old hippies never get old. 
Well back in the hippie days I did pass as a girl and I wasn't about to disabuse them of the notion. I had a boy friend to that to this day I still remember him, that dream was just to dang short.  I guess this is kind of my second kick at the can so to say.

Cin

Welcome Cin!  I love your name by the way.   I had my GRS about 18 years ago.  I missed out on the hippi years.  I wasn't old enough but around here, I'm still and old fart.  But I'm still self powered   I look forward to reading your posts.

Cindi

Hi Cindi hun, thank you for the welcome
Hey you look pretty darn good for an old fart.    On the boards I got to I call myself the old crow on one and  on a kids board I call myself the Intergalactic granny, my blog is Quantumgranny, The backwoods girl on another and Yvette on another. All I did on that one was to change Yves to Yvette. My name from the life before was Yves Geatan Groulx I got it legally changed to Cynthia, Leanne Groulx. I kept my dads last name, in respect and memory of him I guess. He was a wonderful man, and my mom was my friend, confidant as well as my mom. She was like a big kid herself, I guess I take after her because I am still as active as a teenager and I haven't forgot  how to be mischievous with my mate. 

Cin   

Hey Cindy I never thought of you as old.
Your just a young woman that has been through allot.
Oh Cin i'm an old granny too. I have four grnadchildren that mean the world to me.

Jillieann

Hi Jilliann hun, the only problem is that my grand children are to far away to get much visitin. After my last foster children left home I felt an emptiness. I stopped even celebrating Christmas. Without children around holidays tend not to mean much. I have never stopped wanting to work with children so I opened up a Cyber school for intuitive children and at least this way I will have the opportunity to at least be in touch with children.  I had pretty well accepted the possibility to live the rest of my life alone.

I was never one that cared to much about mingling with other folks, nothing to do with being a Tgirl. I don't think anybody in this town even remember my previous self. I am empathic  and can pic up on other peoples feelings and thought energy and that can create problems, trying to tell whose thought energy or feelings I was picking up and which were my own.

Well I can be thankful I met up with my soul mate and got married just a couple of years ago. I don't go out much now that I am retired except with my soul mate, she is my anchor, my companion.

I think you can usually tell the source actually. Um, the 'origin' is different... er, in essence you look at the borders and see if anything is coming in. Meh, that idea anyway. That can help sometimes anyway.

Only base alternative is to shield constantly. An that I know will keep their thoughts out of your head

For what it is worth, sand in the wind and all...

Hi Kimberly hun

Thank you for the advice. I do believe that since being transsexual I do believe that we have the uniqueness of being two spirited. I have been a sensitive and empathic from  as far back as I can remember as a child. I knew things that I shouldn't, I saw things no one else could see and sensed things from peoples energy to animals and even objects After I reached puberty I had to make a choice if I was going to fit in in society and so I repressed all that stuff except for empathy. So I discovered alcohol and wow "man I had arrived". It made be bigger better and louder and it got me attention and actually dulled the empathy. Well after some years of performing like that I got really sick and had to give up the bottle. It is only in the past 17 years that the needing to express myself as a woman returned and along with that along came all the other bells and whistles of my childhood experiences. Bigger and clearer now since I have transitioned. Anyway maybe this should be shared in the spiritual forum if anyone is interested in discussing this.

With love

Cin

Julie

Hi Cin,

Welcome to Susan's.

Great to have you here and I apologise for the fact It has taken so long for me to welcome you, I missed your intro completely.

You sound like you have had an interesting life and I identify with much of what you have written, especially the integrating into society bit, that is what I have done.

Once again, welcome.

Buffy

Thank you for the welcomes Peggiann and Wikham.
I have slowly been making my round of the different forums and I do hope that we get to share again soon.

Love

Cin
