Good for you, Jessica! many (most? all?) have have gone through so many purge cycles particularly, as you said, when life events happen and we hope "this is finally IT," that we can finally shed what we thought of as unwelcome and shameful baggage. Now, we know differently, that our femininity has always been baked into us since birth and it's perfectly okay and glorious to be ourselves. 

I guess we're about the same age (I'm 62) and so we might wish we'd taken this bull by the horns many decades ago. I feel that way, sure, about many things. Thankfully we have our lives to lead as we move foreword. Live gloriously, as yourself. 

Thank you Emma; you're a good friend!

Yes Jessicatoyou. I know that feeling oh to well. The many lovely items I have released into donation boxes and trash cans is remarkably ridiculous. Every time I had to purge my wardrobe I’d cry a bit more. But no more will I shed a tear for I’ll not be reducing my wardrobe anymore. I’m in love with my inner woman and if the world doesn’t accept Cynthia for her will the hell with them too. 

Love all my new friends and I can believe we have been chosen to live as we are.

Love you girls. 

I can’t wait till I’m buying clothes for a woman’s body. This body I cloth now is so out of style. I know it’s not an over night happening. But I do have the rest of my life to make up for wasted years. 

Now, I'm really, really excited about the conference....that would be awesome!😃.  It's called First Event, January 30 - February 3.  Website is Firstevent.org. I booked at the hotel for the whole conference  and will arrive the 29th and leave the 4th, so any days you could swing it would be great.  I know the area really well, and could pick you up at Logan Airport if you needed.  Bring a friend, maybe your wife???  The seacoast there is magnificent just an hour north of Boston,  kinda like the ZION of seacoasts, if you know what I mean.  I spent time every summer there the last 35 years of my life dreaming of transitioning.  I'm a little older, but still a blast!😂.  Would love to take you on a tour. That is a nice thought to start out this week!  Don't worry too much about winter clothes, you can try some of mine, haha.  

Jess😍

This weekend?  Wish I could and WOULD without a heartbeat;  but I'm on the last leg of the marathon with my business.  I'm about 4 hours from Boston. Have family in Florida, though, and I am going to try to get down there for a week between now and the conference.  Will let you know if that happens.  I want to eventually settle where it's a lot warmer! 😍. I've been eying the Gulf Coast pretty seriously.  I also love St Augustine. I tend to think your wife would be very comfortable around me, but better to let her keep it on her own pace. I have soooo much to look forward to!❤️  Am already a few years younger than I used to be! Thank you, Christa Kerry😉

Loving it, Jessica grasshopper

Yeah, know I have to get down there and spend some time looking.😎.  Don't like what I'm seeing out my window right now...inch of snow! ugh!😫

MY first choice would have been the keys, but out of my reach and too soon for me to go to heaven!😊

It sounds like most of us have gone through purge cycles. I know I have and lost so many wonderful things that can never be replaced. I agree. NO More!

Just ordered my first soft leggings and top from a Facebook leggings seller. My wife has turned me onto these sellers. A sweet set for my first self bought. I’ve borrowed my wife’s but need to buy my own style. 

Dear Cynthia,

Absolutely love them!

Presently looking for holiday-themed clothing for myself!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Your friend,

Monica

I have to look into that myself. I can always use another pair of leggings. LOL

Facebook has many sales girls and sites. These are from MY LALA LEGGINGS. Many many to choose from. Free shipping in US.
