    2013, Wow!

    The unexpected year that transformed me into who I am. And to top it all off I just had the best birthday and Christmas of my life. Christmas morning, I proposed to the love of my life and she said yes! And this past weekend we celebrated my birthday and our engagement with some of our closest friends. Blessed isn't a word that I would normally use, but I'm not sure how else to describe how I feel.

    Over the past year, I've lost almost 90lb and also have found balance and happiness in my life though spiritual practice and exercise. I've stopped many bad habits and started good ones. As far as my CD'ing goes, I went from never having even seen myself transformed and being too scared to tell a soul, to now having had many experiences beyond the confines of home and coming out to almost everyone that matters. I spent my birthday en femme, with friends that had not yet even seen me dressed and everyone was graciously accepting.

    2014... I am feeling optimistic that it will be even better as I move into the future with my true love and carrying over all the positive energy that 2013 had!

    Amanda,
    May the optimism and dreams roll on.
    I think my best year was when I proposed also.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    Very enjoyable to read a post like this. It gives some hope for the rest of us to realize that there are accepting gals out there.

    Hi Amanda,

    How wonderful for you sweetie and congrats on your engagement. My questions is . . . who is going to wear the wedding dress? Seriously though, I am so glad to hear such a great story about personal growth. You make a wonderful couple.

    Hugs

    Amanda, I wish you as much happiness as my wife and I share. There will be hard times and some sharp words but always remember how you felt about her when you proposed. That feeling will get you through many things. Congratulations.
    Hugs
