It so refreshing to hear positive feedback from this group once in a while,and personal experiences that make one feel good about oneself. Kudos to you Markie, ,you are the only one in this group, both online and in person, that focuses on the personal experience and meaning of life as we know it.The last meeting I was able to attend was the one where you became very emotional about all the negativity within the group and walked out. I would have given you a standing ovation!!

I just wanted to drop a line saying how much your positive, inspirational messages affect me.. and I’m sure many others!Markie,!

Thank you!

MUTUAL ADMIRATION...

Markie, Good to see you tonight on the way out the door. It looked like you were coming from work. Hope to see you again soon.

Michael, it was good to see you. Yes I was coming from work.

I needed to attend at least something for the day of remembrance. I am pleased my femininity is not dictated by my uniform.I do what i can with what I have. No excuses!
perhaps my working my job is a great tribute to those who have gone ahead,who payed the price for my trans freedom..

Markie, you look great in whatever you are wearing — uniform or clothes of choices. Your confidence and outlook always seem to shine through. I’m always grateful to see you… selfishly, I have to admit that *I* always feel better/uplifted after interacting with you!

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed”

“

I am Thankful today……

“If you hold on for one more day, things will go your way.”
— Hold on.

I am thankful for the drive inside me that causes me to hold on and move forward in my life.
Moving forward in spite of the passive aggressive ,cold timid souls,who neither know
victory nor defeat. The very people who try to continuously to break my spirit.

At work today..

I had to do a task that was difficult to do at work today.I was asked to step out of my comfort zone and put my self in the unknown.In this instance I did not know what the out come would be.on this my day off , I arrived twenty minutes early and sat in my car. at the last moment I said If a certain friend and co worker of mine would show up I would go do what was asked of me.It was now 5 minutes prior to the start of work,and my friend pulls up and parks the car,she said she would show up for me,and I had just started the car to go home .so I was obligated to follow through with my task.My friend stated I will go with you,and be with you during the time . So we made our way to work .we walked in the meeting room,and stood in the back, and some seating opened up in the front row, so i suggested we sit up front.We Sat on the front row!

Today was awards day at work, and I was to attend the festivities dressed fancy in my best clothing . I was nervous ,due to the fact we work in uniforms and for the most part have not seen me dressed in street clothes. For our non uniform functions the dress code is business casual. That means nice tops and a pair of slacks. But today, was awards and it meant for me a nice top and a skirt and all the trimmings. having never been any thing but uniformed or business casual, I was nervous. I was afraid what people would think,or if people would laugh at me. We finished the awards, and headed for the lunch portion,where I received compliment after compliment.And rave reviews on my attire.My fear faded in to smiles and elation. In this case the risk was worth the reward. I did not receive a single reward,but was rewarded for my stepping out into the unknown,and Allowing God to lead the way.

My devotional verse this morning was Psalm 23:4’Yea,though I walk through the shadow of death ,I fear no evil :for thou art with me;thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

I was in a shadow in the parking lot this morning,but he was with me,and provided for me.All I needed to do was trust him,and he took care of me.

I am thankful today....
