Who Wants to Live Forever and Facing Loss of a relationship (marriage, couple, friendship) someone who was apart of your life.

Who wants to live forever, when relationship loss is so painful? and how do we go on living, when the loss we suffer, especially the lost of a friendship or a love and even harder a relationship that was both? It can seem unbearable! In this blog I am going to talk generally about loss, all kinds of loss, and then I'm going to focus on recovering from Relationship Loss due to breakup, or divorce.  To start, lets ask the question 'who wants to live forever?' (raises hand) I do! I would love to be immortal for maybe...selfish reasons.   I want to see and do it all. I want to know the outcome of the story.  Well I want to at least live to see us find alien life. That for me would be very confirming of what I think about the universe. That we are not alone, and that we are not unique. That the Universe (maybe even Universes) is a vast place with other living beings in it. Or maybe we are unique... and maybe we realize something greater about how special we all are.... Bu...

Kindness and Gratitude

These days I'm practicing kindness and gratitude, I'm thinking about how I can be kind and grateful, even when life seems to just be against me.   And with everything going on, all the busyness of our lives, failures, oppression, ignorance, miss information, miss understanding, isolation, state of our health, bills, work pressures, raising kids, divorce/breakups, deaths, losses, opinions, phobias,  and... of course the 'But wait there is more!' we are all facing.  So lets talk about finding Kindness and Gratitude and how they might help with all of it.  It is easy to let life's challenges overwhelm you  and I have touched on strategies on how to NOT allow life to overwhelm you in other blog posts. Yet I'm finding Kindness and Gratitude are two tools in our toolbox that we often overlook. Kindness   First Kindness is great! being kind costs you nothing, it is an infinite currency you can spend to make the universe a better and more loving place. An...

The Media problem; FCC, Broadcast studios, Streaming services, Hollywood

 Being transgender isn't easy, any transgender person can tell you this. The cards are generally stacked against us for many reasons made worse by broadcast studios, Hollywood, streaming services, sensationalized shows, bad press, political manipulation, Religious reasons, Ignorant persecutors, TERFS,  population control tactics, witch hunts, and flat out ignorance and fear mongering. This blog will attempt to explore some of this,  and at the bottom of this blog I'll site some sources for you to continue your education/journey if you so choose.  So where do we start to shed light?  there is so much to cover lets just dive in  Sensationalized Story telling for entertainment and business (Psycho, Monster, Silence of the Lambs, Dalhmer, latest netflix shows - Ed Gaines) First I want to Mention that the broadcast media is becoming a monopoly of only a few companies owning ALL channels of information and entertainment. Not to Mention Brendan Carr (FCC), appoint...

Getting to Safe....

Image
 Getting to Safe.  How do you get to safe? How do I get to Safe?  What does that even mean?  For me getting to Safe is about getting to a place where I know everything is fine and the future is secure economically and more importantly knowing that I can live my life freely without being a burden to others. It also means transitioning in a way where I feel comfortable and safe in my person. Getting to safe is not easy, there are many challenges, passing, funds, safety, health. And getting to safe is made tougher to accomplish by my age,  a recent divorce that shattered my retirement funds,  the fact that I started transition later in life. Getting to safe is also made difficult by the manipulation of people through fear mongering;  The hate groups, transphobic groups such as those J.K. Rowlings is a part of and or associates with secretly and publicly, the political groups (Trump and the extreme anti constitutional people in his camp), religious z...

Thoughts on Finding a Partner and Living an Awesome Life

I want to talk about being transgender, seeking companionship, dating opportunities and coming to peace with being alone. And it is my hope that others, regardless of transgender or not, can find some comfort, maybe confirmation, and peace by what I'm about to say. To start I have no illusions that as a transgender woman, and an older one, that my chances of meeting and bonding with someone is slim. Made more slim by age, sexual orientation, my gender identity, and made more difficult by my lack of a strong social circle. And I have no illusion that for many transgender people this is a tough situation they find themselves in. Not to say dating isn't tough for all of us it is. It is also a telling sign that 60% of marriages end in divorce. Relationships are just @#%% hard.  So where do we start to find someone? the obvious first thought these days is "Hey they got an app for that" mentality, so lets talk briefly about dating apps (And do read my post from Aug 29th for...

US Government sanctioned occupation of US Cities...media monopolies...just wow...

  So the president (Frump) has decided to send troops to a United States city which aparently by his words is "War Ravaged" and needs rescuing. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/27/nx-s1-5555381/trump-sending-troops-portland.  This is crazy..it is fascist in its action, and it is so UN-American that  both sides of the political isle should be ashamed. Our leadership is and has failed us. The checks and balances are failing us atm.  If we step back we can see a lot of warning signs. Starting with Corporate monopolies happening regarding the media. We as a nation have seen a consolidation of Media outlets (the news, TV stations etc) from 50 providers, down to 5 and getting smaller. If you don't believe me watch this video Something Worse is happening : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SegPf09WkzQ. What happened to Jimmy Kimble was because an FCC chair threatened indirectly to NOT approve a merger unless Jimmy was taken off the air. ya... its that bad.  If all media ...

Empathy, Kindness, Respect and the Platinum Rule

    I had a day that makes me think that humanity is a lost cause. Let me explain by setting the stage. From my bedroom I can hear the whoosh of traffic on two nearby highways and more than one night I have lay awake wondering about all the people driving their cars, and motorcycles and trucks by the thousands whooshing by, every second of every day. And I wonder, Where are they going? Why are they up? what are they doing? Whats their life like? Imagining and trying to imagine the infinite and finite lives that pass by my house from a distance, all of them oblivious of my existence or the fact that people are listening to their vehicles as they whoosh by traveling to some destination.  So in all that distant rush of continual traffic the following happened to me today. I woke up this morning, got some coffee and proceeded to catch up with a community I belong too. Flipping through the conversations, one was discussing alcohol and how it generally is bad for your health an...
