Being Brave and Technology Assisted


 Not yet ready for the world but baby steps taken...

So here I was finding my style and my persona. Around this time I had upgraded to a camera phone and started to take pics of myself... Still not ready to show my face in public but the idea is coming to the fore.

Yo u stick by your friends through the good and bad... Don't let outside influences get to you... So the dust was still settling after my 40th birthday celebrations and things were going great... but then something changed. One of my long-term friends that had supported me through my split and was a huge supporter of me cut me off and made excuses. She had told me her partner was not very understanding about LGBTQ and told her not to make contact with me or anyone like that. I was distraught and felt dumped. I turned to the one person that I knew would be nonjudgmental to me. I messaged my friend of over 12 years and said I had something to tell her, we were always upfront with each other and had been there through thick and thin. I called her and told her about what had happened and then told her about Tammy, no hesitation she said that was a beautiful thing and I'm sticking by you no matter what happens. We must of been on the phone 2 hours or so, but it was meant to be. We a...

New Year Dawns and a New Opportunity on the horizon

My abilities to be creative were to be showcased.. So a conversation with a Instagram follower led to me being asked to be involved in his business venture, I was tasked with running the twitter account and liasing with potential collaborators and clients.
