Quote from: Valerie.Val on May 30, 2026, 02:36:42 AMDear Ashley, thank you so much Sister. I often think of your tagline. I use it as a mantra. 💜

Quote from: Stottie Girl on May 30, 2026, 02:48:37 AMThanks Val! I wish i felt it but I'm getting stronger all the time! I agree with you about Ashley's mantra it's always in the back of my mind too.😁

Hello Beautiful Sisters! 👋👩💕

Onward if always the correct direction of travel!!!... I am glad it serves you well. You are both getting stronger by the day!... I see and feel it in your words... You both have so very much within your grasp! 🤗

This refrigerator magnet provided me with my early mantra as i first started to carve out my new place in the world 13 regret free years ago... It saw me through a lot of fears and changes!... I am so glad I took the message to heart... 🤗

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸

Ha ha! Ashley, I use the anglicized version of this phrase time and time again! "Don't worry about me, I have my big girls pants on!"

Love it!

You will always be one of the biggest inspirations to me and I love you for that.

All right I had my first therapy session today. That woman is an angel and will try to help me get HRT asap.

Fingers crossed!

I was surprised how easy it was! I live in California and I called Planned Parenthood, scheduled an appointment in a couple of days, had the patch the next day. I hope your experience will be similar.

Congrats, Val!

A good therapist is more than just someone to talk to. They can be powerful allies too. I am so happy you have a good one.

Glad you got your first session and that it went well. Hopefully you'll get hrt soon too x

Ooooh congrats Val! Big news!

It's great you hit it off with your therapist, it's an important relationship.

Any idea on timescales for the HRT?

You must be so excited!

Wow that's amazing! Alas the gatekeepers are a bit stricter here but if all goes well it will be a matter of several weeks instead of months.

Quote from: Stottie Girl on Yesterday at 03:41:05 PMYou must be so excited!

Oh hell yeah :D The last month has been a total rush, I have forgotten how it is not to be excited...

You will have many exciting and emotional times ahead of you once you start HRT. Enjoy the ride!
