After a few unpredictable months, and a roller coaster of pleasant surprises, I've decided it's time to return to Flickr. The long and short? My wife continues to amaze me with her love and continued efforts to accept the whole me. While she's nowhere ready to join me in public (heck, *I'm* not even ready to join me in public!), she's acknowledged that socializing as Amanda is an important step for my continued happiness.
So it's time to open up my Flickr photostream again. I won't be changing any of the past captions, as this site has become somewhat of an online diary of my journey, so you'll have to piece together the puzzle... if you're so inclined.
Enjoy, and as always, be gentle!
Kisses,
Amanda

Today was perhaps the most quintessential first outing I could ever have imagined or planned. Serendipity, fate, what have you, it was just... perfect. I'll post more (a LOT more) about the details later, but suffice it to say I feel joyous, wonderful, and stupendously happy.
Thank you all for your support!

It’s been over a year since last I saw my shrink, but events in the past few months have pushed me back into the fold of “talk therapy.” As one of my 2018 Resolutions is to be bolder with my life, I figured there was no time like the present... and I inaugurated my return to therapy by arriving as Amanda.
It was exhilarating and validating. I felt comfortable and natural… and alive. And 5 years from now, I will look back on today (while quite probably laughing at my wardrobe choice and makeup skills) with pride at having conquered a fear, and for having lived just a little more boldly than I have for the prior 4 decades.
My session was wonderful - open and honest - and we were able to discuss things that I’d have felt uncomfortable examining had I arrived in “boy drag.” While not all of my sessions can occur with me presenting as Amanda, today’s ensures success that there will undoubtedly be many more to come.
And then… Yes, I made a total noob move today, and may receive FAIL OF THE DAY Award. I forgot to have her take a photo of me in her office!
AMATEUR!
So, here I am on my couch at home.
You get the idea, right?

Remember to be true to yourselves, friends, and I will continue to do the same.
