Hi everyone

[Donnagirl]

I know, I've not posted for so long, but perhaps it's time...

It's been a tough time, a few girls I know struggling and one losing the battle. I want to stress that life is so much better once you stop fighting it...

I'm now totally living the dream... This was my last week at work...

Seriously, if I can - anyone can...

Donna, it's good to hear from you and that things are going well for you.

You look great in all of the pictures!

Hugs, Bria

Donna. I remember when you first showed up here. A simple crossdresser looking for answers. And now, look at you. Your journey has led you to a true self realization. This is just what all of us want.

Donna! So happy to see you so happy! It's nice knowing you're out there. It provides a good example of success for the rest of us. ;) Congrats on the retirement (if I read that right.)

I too remember when you first joined, and witnessed your emergence with awe and envy! But mostly I feel great admiration and happiness to see you realizing your dreams!

[AlyssaJ]

So awesome!! I've very happy for you. I can only imagine how it's got to feel to finally be yourself at work. Congratulations!!

Looks like life has given you a fair dinkum, Donna!

[Donnagirl]

No, life has smashed me... This has been the toughest journey. I've fought hard, to near death but I made it through.

Nothing was easy, nothing was simple... but the results are worth the struggle. ..

[Heidi Stevens]

I was talking about the results of that fight, Donna. I think we all know the struggle, but it looks like your "payoff" is very satisfying!

Congrats Donna!

I know Heidi, I'm just frustrated watching others repeat all the mistakes I made, fight the same futile fight I fought and learn all those hard lessons I learned. I know (from personal experience) that advice is not always (or often) heeded, that pig headed attitude, the 'I can beat this' mantra, the I'm stronger than this rules the thoughts. It makes me cry watching others retrace my self defeating 'death spiral'....

I'm in no position to light the path, but I can highlight all the dark abysses that caught me out...
