I made the plunge and started coming out at work today. It was sort of spur of the moment. Yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work wearing jeggings and a baby blue sweater while putting on my foundation I realized I am not hiding from anyone anymore. I can't be more obvious than I am so It is time I start telling people I work with. I am the lone employee working for a non profit but I work in an office with other people. I told the chairman of my board of directors today and plan to tell the office manager where I work tomorrow. I will tell the whole board Monday. I am fortunate in my situation, no HR to deal with and no real boss over me.
I feel both excitement and at peace with myself. I am finally merging my two lives into to one and I feel great! I keep telling myself there is a lot of work and hard times to come but right now I feel complete and for the first time, I love myself 💖
