Way to go Aly, glad you are happy.
Way to go Aly, glad you are happy.
Many of us are out at work only by living it vicariously through watching someone like you actually live it. I'm so happy for you. You look great. How wonderful to have an employer who supports you, and coworkers who encourage you.
Please please please keep writing about how it goes. The daily mundane is as important as the the milestones.
Congratulations!
Best,
Rhonda

Hi Aly,
CONGRATS! I know this is something you have been moving toward for some time and are now there . . . YAY! Enjoy your new life sweetie.

Congrats Aly! Glad it is going well. I am doing voice training already. I have reflux issues and on some bad days, my voice is rough no matter what I do. I just go with it. I could say "Damn it for smoking for 17 years", but that one is in the bank if someone asks. Otherwise, they will adapt to the quality of the voice you land on. I used the apps and went through some of the on-line videos. In the end, I ended up with Kathe Perez because at some point, you need the independent feedback of how you sound and identifying what training is right to improve certain components of your voice. Of course in a path of doing a lot of things that cost money, this would be another. But now that I have gotten this far, I rank voice as one of my more important expenses along with beard removal. It will probably vary a little for each of us.
Best of luck in everything staying smooth. It sounds like you have the needed support so it is now having time pass to normalize things. Perfect!
Really proud of you Aly!!
Congratulations Aly!!! I know how good it feels when sunshine hits my shoulders in a sundress. I can't imagine the feeling when fluorescent light would do the same in the workplace.
Le sigh...
I just finished helping a customer and her daughter with their email that had stopped working. The daughter was maybe 16-17. As I'm working with them, the daughter kept cracking up whenever she would look at me. The mom kept saying... "Stop laughing at me, I'm old." After like the 4 time, the mom said, "geeze, I'm not that funny..." The daughter replies, "I'm not laughing at you." The mom asked what was so funny and the daughter responded by looking me straight in the face and said... "Funnier things...." Then she walked away and wouldn't come back until they left. Gotta love teenagers...
The longer I walk down this road I call a journey, the more I realize that it's not about passing or not passing. It's about being true to myself and being able to look in the mirror and say to my reflection... "Perfect"
Aly,
I'm not laughing, I think your beautiful and brave!
Love KristyE
No you don't... especially not other peoples'....
I'm not sure I liked teenagers even when I was one... well there were one or two girls perhaps...
Aly - I know you will, but you have to rise above these inept and infantile attitudes... it's a shame that parents don't have a better idea of how their kids' behaviour reflects on their quality of parenting, but hey - she probably left the store to go and rib some guy in a wheelchair... Karma will strike one day - what goes around comes around...

Wow, I'm so pleased for you Aly. This thread made me smile on a day that I really needed one. You look great and I'd guess that is in large part due to your mental state. You are beaming inside and it is obvious. Good for you!
By the way, is that a Pepe Le Pew quote? I love Pepe Le Pew...

Heather, it is a Pepe le pew reference! It's also a popular meme.
