Lots of exciting things happening soon:

*  I have been visiting couple times a week with a local woman.  We get along great!  She usually comes to my house.  I think because her husband and grown kids are often at her house.  So, we can more freely have good woman to woman discussions.

*   Had a new 'Workstation' kitchen sink installed yesterday. It's not a lot larger than the old one but has many new usable features.

*  In process of changing therapists.  Really like the one I've been with for a couple years, and she appears to like working with me.  But it is time to get a new perspective.  I have been doing video meetings.  Will no doubt continue doing video with new therapist. However, I am excited because she also does in-person office meetings.  I dress for video meetings and even give my therapist a 'fashion show' to start our meetings. In office meetings with new therapist will require a one-hour drive to her office where I will be dressed as my true self the entire time.  Hope I can do it!!!

This is an excited Coral wishing exciting times for all!

Good luck!

I have always preferred in-person meetings, but I'm not willing to drive an hour each way for a one-hour chat. Video works just fine for that.

Hi Coral

Thank you for sharing your story it was appreciated and I hope your new therapist is of help for you in your journey.  In terms of doctor visits, I'm of the opinion of face to face, however if its just for a prescription refill then a video or phone call 'visit' will suffice.

Take care and all the best for the future.

Best Wishes Always

Coral,


I hope you will find the new therapist helpful over time. 

Do have a nice week too.

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.

Congratulations, Coral. It sounds like your life is flowing in several promising directions. I love seeing that happen for you, for anyone. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

It must be a nice feeling to have a legit plutonic friendship with an another woman where you can chat about everyday life from the perspective of a woman. That's actually a milestone chapter in my opinion.

Today's update:

Went to an appointment at clinic this morning wearing a denim skirt and polo shirt with no pocket to better show my bra. My first time ever out in the world dressed feminine! While at the clinic, I walked to the front desk to submit some paperwork.  It is quite a walk to the front.  Unfortunately, I was not able to wear women's shoes due to nature of my appointment.

I did order a small black purse on-lone this morning.  Most skirts either have very small pockets, or none at all.  I'm used to cargo shorts with lots of pockets.

After this appointment I visited the bank, and a lawyer's office.  Never a comment was heard.  So, after lunch, with same wardrobe I went to grocery store.  I was there an hour or more.  Talked with several people throughout the day.  I was like no one even noticed my skirt!

The next challenge will be to talk with friends dressed feminine!

I'm also looking for another therapist.  One who will do in-person meetings instead of just virtual.  I've found a promising therapist, and my insurance requires in-person meetings, at least the first meeting.  Only issue is it is becoming difficult to get on her schedule.  I will keep trying!

Making progress!
