Quote from: Courtney G on Yesterday at 01:10:42 PMAshley, in the ~5 years since I joined here, I've witnessed an immeasurable amount of support and guidance from you to everyone here. While almost all beautiful, settled trans women (who are able) fade into the woodwork and live their lives and truths, you've chosen to stay here and lift others up time and again. The entire group owes you a debt of gratitude.
I want to personally thank you for always being there for me, always offering kind words of support, and for being a role model for us in so many ways.
Onward, beautiful sister! 💕🙏🌻

Like the others, I want to thank you for your years of support and advice.
To those who are just starting and wondering if all of this is even possible, you are one of the living proofs that it is.
Keep reminding us, and I hope to see you here over the next ten years.
Hugs!
Courtney and Lori!
So many thanks to you both for your kind and thoughtful words!!! 💕🤗💕
I was so blessed in the early days of my process to have met some transitioned women that served as proof to me that what I had always viewed as the impossible... was highly attainable and just waiting for me to choose it... The only limits were the ones I placed on myself... They did all this by simply living their lives and being there to share a few thoughts and insights 🤗
Everything I wanted was right there on the other side of whatever fears I could conjure up to throw into my own path. 🌻
They gave me the keys that unlock the doors to a life well lived and I will never get tired of trying to pay forward that priceless gift as best I can! 🌻
Onward We Go Brave Sisters!

"From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,
Listening to others, considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
I inhale great draughts of space,
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.
I am larger, better than I thought,
I did not know I held so much goodness.
All seems beautiful to me,
I can repeat over to men and women You have done such good to me I would do the same to you,
I will recruit for myself and you as I go,
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go,
I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them,
Whoever denies me it shall not trouble me,
Whoever accepts me he or she shall be blessed and shall bless me."
Walt Whitman...
