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.

I would recommend some black pantyhose or a nude hose to go with her skirts.

Also, maybe suggest that she get her ears pierced so that she can wear some cute earrings and necklace combos.

I didn't even think about ear piercing and earrings, probably because it is so much a part of me now.

If she doesn't already have her ears pierced take her out for a suprise trip.

Hi Belle

My name is Sarah and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!

I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.

Belle,  your wife is fortunate to have someone who is putting so much love, thought and care into supporting her.

I still believe that your acceptance, encouragement and willingness to share these experiences with her are the greatest gifts you can give.  The gift box will make that love tangible, while a girls' day or evening together could create beautiful memories that she will treasure for years.

There has been so much wisdom in the replies here.  The suggestions of jewellery, perfume, a purse, lovely body products, makeup, earrings and other affirming everyday items are wonderful.  I especially love the idea of getting your hair and nails done together before going somewhere safe and welcoming.  As several posters have wisely said, it is not only the items themselves that matter.  It is the message behind them: "I see you, I accept you and I am happy to be beside you."

Please let us know how it goes.  I suspect Laura may be right about keeping the tissues nearby!

Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the other forums and threads.  I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members.

In addition members of Susan's will more than likely discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these issues as well.

Please keep in mind when posting that this is an ALL AGES PUBLIC Forum and the internet never forgets.  Do not post anything that you do not want to be made public.

Take care and all the best for the future.

Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!

Best Wishes Always
