A Big Step but a Weight off my Shoulders

The importance of being honest and knowing that support is there.

So it was my return to work and I had a meeting to discuss my absence, procedure requires this but I had something I wanted to end the meeting on that was more positive.

The outcome was decided, I had my job still and that was good. I had my chance to be more open now. Now as part of my confidence boosting I had contributed to a number of books that I had been asked to join by a couple of twitter followers. I had a hard copy of one of them, and with my kindle I had the others. 

In the days leading up to my meeting I had spoken to my line manager and said about the books and she wanted to see them. This was my chance to reveal my alter ego unbeknown to her.

So sat in the room with my 2 line managers I took a deep breath and said 'I have an alter ego, and she is helping me overcome some of my anxiety', the reaction was lovely, a kind of 'Ok, that's really something, and wow you look amazing'. We spoke about how it came about and I said to them that I wanted it to stay between us, they agreed. I thanked them for letting me tell them, and they appreciated my telling them. It's part of my life so I'm glad I have done so.

This brings my story upto date, of course there will be more updates as time goes on... Thank you for joining me this far...

Heartbreak but Loyalty will show its true colours

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..
