    Recognized in public!

    Mimi and were out shopping on Wednesday. We had a successful trip to DSW where I bought a couple of pairs of athletic shoes from the clearance racks and Mimi found some warm fuzzy boots. On the way home we decided to stop off for dinner at a Denny's that was on our way.

    As the hostess was leading us to our table we walked by some customers who were just getting up to leave. One of them, an older lady, reached out and grabbed my arm as I passed by, pulling me to a stop. She said "Hi Eryn!"

    I looked at her in confusion. I'm horrible in recognizing faces. She said "Don't you remember, we sat across from each other playing Trivia at Prohibition Burger?" Finally it dawned on me that it was a friend of Persephone's who I had met that one time! We exchanged pleasantries and went on our way.

    So, I can check another milestone off my list. My femme self has been recognized during a chance encounter in public with a friend who doesn't know my male self!

    That's great Eryn! It had to be so uplifting! I'm just starting to take my female self out regularly - I can only hope for the same results.

    That lady rode with me to our monthly Women's Congregation services today and one of the first things she told me about was how she had run into you at Denny's!

    Enjoy!

    Eryn ... fun encounter. I get "Michelle" from time to time. My fear in looking at your thread was that your male self was recognised when dressed as your femme self. That would be of concern for me. I practice not responding to my male name when femme.

    Thank the stars she said Eryn!

    If the lady had said your male name, in a split second every hair on your body would have been standing straight up.

    That is way cool BEYOND way cool, Eryn!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
