Heading to Florida today. I will be vacationing and doing some business on this trip. Looking forward to my time on the beach and most of my time being myself as a woman. I think I am ready.

Had a wonderful day yesterday at the Hair and Spa Salon that I go to - really is a highlight of my month as I usually come out feeling so beautiful. (Nails, wax, hair and toes) My wife told me to enjoy my good "Girly Girly" Time. My real hair is the big winner this time. Now passing shoulder length toward arm pit length. (My Goal is bra strap length and I only need three more inches to get there).

Getting girlified right now - pedicure, brow wax and cut and color. The full treatment. Love it. Post Salon - Attached is sporting my post salon look + a new top from Kohl's; gift from my wife. Felt very beautiful and feminized when I left today - Was called "mam" at a security gate I had to go through; would not have expected otherwise.

Today I was running with a local women's running group and one of the Gals I run with said I "you should enter the Olympic Trials as a woman." I believe she knows I am transgender as I usually dress unisex or gender female when I run with them. I told her that it is difficult to make the trials at any level even if I was to be able to make the women standards. (I was also thinking I would have to have a completed a sex change) The discussion was very telling as I know many of my run group see me as just another a woman running with them. Just added a photo from yesterday walking a path with my Nordic Poles.

Was jogging with two of my girl friends last Saturday. And a middle aged lady drove up by us and said she said to us "glad to see three pretty college girls out running" was "proud of us" for running. (Yes, I was one of the three)

30,000 views of my page - so super - I just wish I could hug everyone - but of course there is this virus to deal with. Here is my latest photo/s. Dawn

UPDATED ITEM - Monica thanks so much for your encouragement and complements on my outfits ♥️ l keep looking at myself and I try to see what you see in me. I am now becoming more aware of how I have physically changed. My breasts are now real and natural - no forms needed any more. Even though I am heaver than I would like to be I feel I have become softer and more rounded It was so neat to pack almost all women's outfits for this trip. Did not waste too much of my space with men's stuff. Yes this experience excites and humbles me. I am starting to be aware of how from feminine I have become. So far on this trip I had a younger man flatter me and called me Mamm and direct me to the Lady's Room. I did not even try to correct him. I am expecting more positive encounters tomorrow. Thanks for being my sister ❤️ Dawn

Tomorrow I return to my normal unisex life. I have had a great time on this last trip to Florida. My greatest fun was my time on the beach but I also had great fun at the stores and restaurants I went too as I was addressed as "mam" and "lady" at most of these locations. These encounters really helped me to embrace myself and how I felt. It was really liberating the feelings of freedom I felt. At the beach, I was at ease the whole time, aware of my form fitting swimsuit and my tuck made me have the ultimate feminine shape, aware of my long hair as the wind caught it, aware of my shaved and lotioned body, aware of my woman shadow/sillowet on the beach; knowing I was being looked at and coded as a female by all around me. Yes, I was sure I was passing. As I walked over a mile on the beach I felt deep feelings and the feeding of my woman inside. I was quite natural in my walk and most of the dozens of beach walkers I passed would wave or say, "good morning" or "hello." There I was just another somewhat pretty older woman walking on the beach with a slight arm swing and lifted sway in her hips. I also collected some shells and tested the water for swimming. I did get in knee deep but the water was really cold. For the walk I had just purchased a really nice swimsuit cover-up. Because of this, I did fit in quite well with those around me as it was cool 60's and as I mentioned the water was fridged. Thanks Monica for this great idea of the cover garment. The cover up I bought fit loosely and was almost a beach dress. With this on I really was able to be myself - natural and confident and I am sure this is why I appeared to pass so well. I did get a little bit of attention, however. There were some work men who I know were looking me over, my feminine radar could sense l was being checked out. One of them actually called me to get my attention twice. Because I was on the other side of a work barrier I was able to keep my distance and not respond to his advance. My favorite portion of my 2+ hours of beach time was laying/sitting on my towel and soaking 🌞. I had a sea gull buddy that stayed about 10 feet away and just hung out with me the whole time. There were several joggers who went by the "sun babe" - they all looked and I looked back - they smiled and moved on. We were all having a wonderful day at the beach. Dawn I took several dozen photos and will share them soon - sample one below.

My new suit just came in - Monica thanks for suggesting it - Will model it soon - Then will have to decide which one to wear on my beach day in three weeks. Dawn

Just ordered a purple - Miraclesuit Oceanus One-Piece Size: 14 Color: purple I am going to wear this at the beach next month. Now to make sure my body is beach ready.

My wife just purchased 4 Hanes Get Cozy Pullover ComfortFlex Fit® Wirefree Bra's for me and I love them - great fit and support. (Pink, Purple, Teal and Nude colors) Was going to use them as sleep bras but I am thinking they will also be great everyday bras. I highly recommend them to everyone. Photo below. Also looking for a recommendation - I could be doing a professional makeover soon - possible Christmas Gift. Does anyone know of a best place local to the mid-west; KY, OH, IN? My therapist said that this might be something for me to do and I am liking the idea. Maybe a whole weekend in a new location all woman-ed up? (Shopping, restaurant, play or movie) This would not be a boy mode or unisex mode thing - but a fully feminine experience for me. Dawn

I just received a gift of a new purple dress and pearl earrings. Also I recently purchased a Victoria Secret slightly padded pink bra that I am wearing now. This was my first new dress in quite a while. I think the fit was phenomenal. Sung and form fitting showing some cleavage. I can really see results of the herbals and blockers I have been taking. I only had some lip gloss on - plan to do full make up soon. Still I was amazed at myself. And I still feel overweight. More soon - Dawn

Update on the herbals supplement effect - My wife mentioned that my breasts had really expanded and were now a "hand full" as she touched them yesterday and that my hair has grown to reach the bottom of my shoulder blades. What I have noticed the most lately is I appear much softer and more rounder lately. My weight is still holding about 160 (Still want to get rid of 15 pounds) but where the weight has moved into my hips and breasts and a layer of softness overall is what I notice the most. Dawn Wearing a blond wig below but you can see my softer more feminine body.

Another great day getting my hair styled, brows waxed and a pedicure. I wore my new American Eagle Hot Pants and a matching top that showed off my comfortable white nylon bra underneath. I had a brown hair band, rose quartz earrings and was wearing one of my favorite perfumes. My stylist said she really like making my hair, brows and toes "beautiful." Then she had to mention she had been doing weights and showing off her arms to me. Of course we compare arms and mine now look a lot smaller than hers. And I was thinking mine really look feminine. After I was done at the stylist I left, looking almost totally beautiful, and I went to a local farmers market and just blended in - I really think no one even possibly thought I was not female the whole time I was there. A wonderful transgender feminine experience.

Finally got my scripts straightened out. Already took my dailies. My need is not recognized by some. But it is real. I need this. I have to have it. You girls here are the best with understanding how it can be necessary to have your estrogen. My life has seemed empty without. I so enjoy the new life I’m living. Not dealing with the insecurities that I had as a man. Of course it’s not all roses and champagne but I roll with the punches. I love myself. Thank you for being here and reading. Love you.

Spent an entire week in Florida presenting myself in a very simple fashion as a woman. A life time of experiences this trip. So much to describe. The attached photo is me in Universal Studios. I did not enhance my natural body for this trip, just wore all women's sportswear top to bottom. My breasts in my sports bra were noticeable but I was not trying to bring too much attention to them. I remember when I entered the park when the photo was taken one of the attendants said "I really like your Turquois Outfit," one of her favorite looks. I have over 20 great photos to share along with my neat story. So more soon. :)

It appears the site is working again - Hurrah! And I do like the new changes in format. Dawn

I find it interesting that two years ago I was told that red was not a color for me and agreed yet that person told me red now suits me. For the past two weeks have been wearing Lucky Brand flats in a medium red. Just goes to show (in my opinion) what hormones can do after being on them for a while. Oh, my worst color, yellow, still working on that.

Celebrating my Birthday with "my Girls" One of my nicest birthday gifts was a new summer mesh bra and panty set from Third Love (My favorite on line store) Just love the bra fit and how it shapes my breasts. I highly recommend this company for any of you all. They have helped me size my boobs as well as my hips/other measurements and they now have my sizes and measurements on file. They often send me suggestions and they have almost been right and I love the selections and how they help make me feel sexy, feminine, self assured and confident. Again my favorite on line store. Dawn

Hello everyone - Lots of updates - I just took a couple of pictures of me in my new Arctic Cool women's running outfit that I got as a birthday gift. My wife said the fit was snug and I really "looked very feminine" in this running outfit and she was a bit concerned that I was in danger as it was getting into the evening hours when I went out to run. There was a female jogger attacked a few weeks ago near a park I like to jog at. So I tried to stay away from any known potential areas of concern. Yes I was safe. Also, for my birthday I got two new very stylish Catalina Bikinis Swimsuits with matching Swim Skirts; I cannot wait to wear them to the beach; likely on my next trip to Florida ...... Some great new news I just got my first Botox treatment and I am doing a whole array of face fillers, skin resurfacing and surgical level skin treatments - yes kind of expensive treatments - everything that can be accomplished with today's technology below doing a full face lift is being accomplished. My clinic rep said I could/probably would look as much as 20 years younger when this is finished and of course I have always had a feminine looking face so I think this aspect will be enhanced greatly. I will report the success as I finish all of the treatments. Dawn

Another day at the transformation spa. Pedicure already finished. Best toe look ever.

"You Go and Keep Running Girl" Quote yesterday passed to me by two women bicyclers who were talking as they took a break by the road. Even after I said hello(Spoke) to them. Here is one of the running outfits I wore in the last couple of days.

My favorite skirt shots from my 8 mile run in the woods.

Latest run as a girl was fun - Ran 5 miles on a heat Index 100 degree day in MO - Stopped by a neat cave to cool off; was glad for the stop - Noticing my arms a lot lately - so much less muscle and a much more feminine shape. Will be adding a new herb soon - pueraria mirifica (kwao krua). Running as a girl is so much more fun these days; yes lots of whistles.

One of my older jogging outfits that I dug out to run 5 miles in. The biggest difference is there are no breast forms this time, having grown another half inch; why would I want to hide my girls. They are so much a part of me now. I feel so free to run as a woman now.

Here is my first photo in my new swimsuit. I already see a couple of things I will need to change. Likely I will want to have my hair out instead of in a pony tail. Comments please. Dawn

Michael fixed my photos - Thanks for helping me find the setting/s. All please post comments to my photos when you have time. Best wishes everyone.

You Be You...and I'll Be Me !!

Sorting through all of my Florida photos - quite an exciting story to share - a whole week feeling like and presenting myself as a woman - more to share soon. Dawn

Have been so focusing on my expanding developing chest that I almost missed my expanding hips. Here is a current photo. Dawn

Some updates - Neat - My wife just purchased me a gift two new pairs of Hanes Silk Reflection Ultra Sheer hose for an upcoming outing - she was also helping me to find a new blouse to wear that would match one of hers. Also, on a recent Disney Cruise I was called mam and lady by almost everyone. For a lot of the trip, they thought there were two sisters together on a cruise. Still in boy mode for this trip but obviously I was looking feminine. Was wearing a bra most of the time. Just in the last two weeks; my breasts have been getting noticed quite a bit - My Doctor who I had not seen in about a year in his almost only comment - said my chest was noticeably larger and at GNC the store manager that is a friend and knows me as a boy just made a real big deal about noticing my chest (Breasts) had gotten bigger - he could not take his eyes off my top the whole time I was in his store.

Was described as a "beautiful ... lady" last week by a waitress at a restaurant I was at in Florida. I did not even have any makeup on. Here is a recent photo of me with my own hair, near the time of this neat encounter.

Went in to a Horton's yesterday and the woman there said to me and my wife "how are you doing ladies." I was dressed a bit feminine but not overly so. Still being coded almost daily as a woman and I really an not trying to go out of my way to make myself look like a woman. Dawn

Fun and enjoyable day yesterday. Got fitted for glasses at Lens crafters. I purchased a very feminine woman's frame. The lady added that my blue eyes and eyelashes really showed well and the smaller frame accented my roundish face well. She said this could be my "fun glasses" for maybe when I go dancing. While getting my new glasses, I was completely in women's sporty looking clothing; sport top, Levi tight stretch jeans with small woman's belt, women's body warmer sleeveless jacket, women's running shoes, earrings and necklace, nails shaped and polished; all women's; including bra and pink panties underneath. I was called mam twice. Again my voice did not seem to change how I was treated; as a woman. I just added photos of my new glasses. Dawn

Happy to say Microsoft has awarded me their MVP award for the third year running yesterday. Out of millions there are less than 4,000 selected each year. Microsoft holds a summit for five days in November for the MVP program where they pay for everything except what it cost to get there. So I will be off to the summit in just under one month in Washington State, just a three hour drive in my lovely Miata.

Ugh! i got attacked by chiggers at the beach last weekend! and now I have a cold!

Getting what I need and want from medical practitioners, is the thorn in my ass

I'll be posting again starting this week.

I am excited, have a date with a female twenty years younger than me this weekend and she is gorgeous then a handsome man the following weekend.

Was feeling sick this morning at work, co-worker asked the symptoms, I replied, running nose, dizzy. He came back joking with "You must be a Dizzy Blonde", that was funny,

It's not a pretty sight when I am in the mood, alone and can't find my fav viberator, just saying.

I Start T tomorrow!

Aroused but keeping my legs closed. Very frustrating.

I'm very happy about my progress with my transition and everything else in my life has been going very well to.

It's going to be very hot today, over 100 degrees and so happy 95% of the day in work and home I will have AC woohoo. And yes it's thong weather.

A new name this weekend - Called "Babe" by one of the life guards as I was heading for the pool. My hair was in a pony tail and I was in red biking outfit.

Thinking back to prior to transitioning I cherished working from home two days a week but since transitioning only work one day from home as it's so much more fun being with co-workers than not. Today, Friday is the only day I work from home and find myself wanting to go into work. Just shows how things get better over time so if reading this and on a path to reassignment that this shows life can be better.

One more day till the weekend woo-hoo. Saturday I am attending the local Transgender parade in Portland which will be my first time. Since it's close to my friends house (who is going too) we don't have to contend with parking which is great. Enjoy the day!!!

Seems like me time is gone for a while which is okay as I am keeping busy with things that keeps me from being on the computer much and I feel that real life away from the computer trumps all. So too those who live by the need to connect to their computer try walking away and smell the roses . This weekend starts with pre-op appointment for breast arugmentation today, tonight teaching empty hand combatives, tomorrow teaching firearms followed by out with friends for dinner then Sunday will be out doing a five mile or so walk with a friend.
