Day 100 (give or take a few)

Hi everyone...

I would like to apologize for not getting back sooner.... I've wanted to get back and blog, but have just been thinking about the different things I need to talk about before I can tell you all about what's new with me.  The failed romances...Coming out to my extended family... so many conflicts with people... and work going well.

Even though it's only been 100 days, I have to say that I can't look back.  I mean, even though he's been me for the last 30+ years, I can't remember living as "him".... I only see myself as Kacee.  And, a few of my friends and colleagues even told me that they don't remember 'him' either.  This is how I know I'm moving in the right direction.


However, on this Thanksgiving Day (at least here in the States), I wanted to let you know that everything is going well.... really good!  My journey continues but, as the poem says, "I have miles to go before I sleep... miles to go before I sleep."

Even today, I have a new milestone..... my extended family (Aunts, Uncles and Cousins) are going to meet me as Kacee for the first time.  My Mom (who has been a total sweetheart, for the most part) has made it easier by having the 'pre Kacee showing up chat' with them.... so they're all 'in the know.'' however, more importantly, they're all loving and accepting of me... whether I'm "him"... or ME.  I can't wait (although I need to finish getting ready and making a salad to bring ASAP!)

I'm so thankful for all of my wonderful, supportive and loving friends and family.  While having a loving support network isn't a prerequisite for transitioning, I know it makes it so much incredibly easier.

Thanks so much for reading... and for being loving and supportive.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! 

You all rock!
