For some strange reason I have been feeling pretty good lately. There isn’t one thing to pin the good vibes on to, but, things have been building up. Two weeks ago the Pride Leadership program began with a two day retreat at a lodge in Newark, Ohio. Pride Leadership is being run by the United [...]

A positive news article covering both a success story and the legal implications (but why is it in ‘Fashion and Style’?)

(Post inspired by this post from Donna Rose) So, many of you have probably seen my name popping up recently in comments around here (and other places, such as 360 and Livejournal) and wondered “Who is this strange person and why is she here?” A brief summary to start with – I am female-bodied, and [...]

Each and every person has their role to play, be it father, mother, wife, husband… etc. My roles have been father, son and husband… friend and even boyfriend to others.

My Greatest Burden, My Greatest Gift by Marti Abernathy
