I'm writing this while in my favorite skirt, blue lace camisole, black leggings and a flannel shirt. Pink finger nails, green toe nails (jeez, hope I'm not turning preppy!) and my gold hoop earrings. I hope we have a fabulous 2017 even with the obvious 1000 pound, orange gorilla in the room and the changing political tide.
If I have any real goals for the coming year, they are just to be happy and healthy. I plan spend more time in Heather mode out in the world and hope to spend nearly every day in some form of women's wear. As it is, almost all of my time spent at home is in a skirt & blouse and I have a nice assortment of nightgowns. Hopefully, I'll be able to improve my make-up skills. I'd like to buy a couple pair of slacks and most importantly a natural looking wig.
I don't know about "coming out" to more friends or family but that is a decision that I've contemplated just to making my life easier. We must live our lives in a way that is most fulfilling to ourselves. I can't explain why I feel better when I'm presenting as a woman but I'm so much more comfortable and happy like this. Why do people like sex, sports, art, music, jogging, cooking or living in a way with which others may not agree? Damned if I know, I just like what I'm doing.
I plan to travel more (especially in skirts).
Thank you for reading my many stories. Happy New Year.
Heather.

Two weeks
The past two weeks have given me time to think.
Who am I kidding? Does a political party dictate my life choices? Will Heather be stripped and shoved back into the armoire?
1.) Nobody, I am not trying to kid anyone. I'm living the life that makes me happy. I feel good about my choices of clothing and the way I look in some of them. It isn't a masquerade. It isn't a costume. It is my preferred choice of dressing and I'm happy to say this.
2.) No. We lived through President Obama's "death squads." I am not going to live my life in fear. I'm willing to drive into the big city to conduct business. I lived in a couple of the bad neighborhoods of Las Vegas, NV and never had any kind of trouble. My grandparents lived in a tough neighborhood. The smart person knows to mind your own business, keep your nose clean, be a good neighbor and be friendly. People generally won't bother their neighbors, especially if you don't have flashy things. I will stand tall with my sisters and brothers. We're all human beings. My skin tone, my choice of worship/choice to not worship, my ethnic background, my sexual preference. None of these will be changed by politics.
3.) I've thought about this more in the last two weeks than I have in the past year. I "came out" to my spouse about a year ago and there were times that I wondered if doing so was a good idea. Yes, without question I did the correct thing. It has challenged some of her "Puritanical, New Englander" sensibilities but has commented on how I'm generally a happier person since coming out. I know that the town in which I live is a bit too small and my job is too visible for me to comfortably be in the open here. I will go out in the day on a trip to that big city, one of these days. I think Halloween was a good ice breaker for me. I will be working on my only real weakness, my voice.
Thanks for reading my postings!
