A bit over five years ago I embarked on a path where I thought I would be best served as a person by distancing myself from the physical aspects of crossdressing. I thought I could do this by consciously embracing the emotional comfort of the more female part of my personality without the outward physical expression of my inner spirit. It was a grand experiment, and I am proud to announce that I failed in a spectacular fashion.
Part of my journey of personal exploration and reflection was a nearly four-month tour of the USA by car, entirely en femme except for two very brief periods where my male persona was most appropriate. Nearly four months, living openly as the woman who dwells deeply within me.
There is much to share. One change I have made since last posting is to have become Marie. I have many fond memories as Lauren, and she will always be a part of me. When I returned from my tour of the Country, I felt a new awakening, and I wanted to express that by becoming Marie Richards. It did, and does, feel right.
I will share more. Yes, it is good be back. And for those who like photos (and who doesn?t), one of my favorite photos from the journey was taken in Tucson, Arizona on a warm Spring morning a little over two years ago. Hello. Hello.
