I saw this poem (a variation on the Night Before Christmas poem that so many of us know) just after Christmas. It was too late to post, but I think it applies equally well to Memorial Day. I invite you to read it and my comments. Then spend some time this holiday weekend reflecti...

This was the first Esprit conference in three years-after Covid derailed the 2020 and 2021 events. Sadly, we lost some folks from the past years, and we treasure their memories. And due to lingering uncertainty and some travel issues for some folks, attendance this year was a...
As Mother’s Day approaches, I hope those of you who are fortunate enough to still have your mom around appreciate the gift that you have. I wrote this back in May 2011 just a week or two after my mom passed away and posted it as a forum post in 2016, and again in 2019. I added ...
Having been here for six and a half years now, I’ve borne witness to seeing our site grow tremendously, as well as the addition of many features. Some are mainly involved only in the forums, others in groups, and still others in chat. We each receive and give different thin...
That time of year is approaching again. Far too often, we go about our daily lives –not giving a thought to how we are able to do so as freely as we do. But a few times each year we are prompted to stop and reflect on the sacrifices made by others that has given us the free...
I have written many articles for these amazing sites that Vanessa has created to support and nourish the CD/TG community. (If you are a member of CDH, you can read them by clicking this link below.) https://www.crossdresserheaven.com/members/skippy1965/articles/ Just rec...
In these times of restrictions and lockdowns (that hopefully will soon be a thing of the past) I thought it might be a good time to provide a compilation of my writings about my first time attending a CD/TG conference since many of our current members weren’t around back in 201...
I saw two pictures the other day in chat; one of a fire with roaring flames and the other glowing embers. It struck me that those images are representative of the lives many of us lead. For many, the kindling had always been there inside us, early in our lives—it just neede...
As the world continues to face one of its biggest challenges, I felt compelled to write something encouraging. So many things weigh heavily on us all-not just the COVID virus itself. The medical and health risks-especially among the older members of society (and the CDH community...
I was reading about the Christmas season and was suddenly struck with the thought that I needed to write this article. Many of us, regardless of our views on religion enjoy the holiday season as a time to celebrate the giving nature of humanity. And as I thought about all the...
We all want the world to hurry up and advance far enough so it recognizes that each of us, regardless of how we present or express our “inner persona,” is worthy of respect and kindness. I think it needs to begin within our own circle of friends and acquaintances. I read som...
Trans-Siberian Orchestra Lyrics (posted for reflective thoughts as expressed below) “Not The Same” I heard a note In the dark Where it slipped into my mind And somehow still remains Time comes and goes Ebbs and flows And somehow that single note Still rings on and sus...
“I Am A Rock” by Paul Simon, released 1965 A winter’s day In a deep and dark December I am alone Gazing from my window To the streets below On a freshly fallen, silent shroud of snow I am a rock I am an island I’ve built walls A fortress, steep and migh...
Fallen Not Forgotten by Ray Boltz, release 1998 He stood beside his daddy And watched the soldiers marching by It was Veterans Day and he wondered Why there were tears in daddy’s eyes; Later they laid flowers Beside a monument of stone- He said, Son-My daddy went to figh...
“This Is Me” (from “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack, written by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, released 2017) I’m not a stranger to the dark Hide away, they say ‘Cause we don’t want your broken parts I’ve learned to be ashamed of al...
A good friend of mine from Crossdresser Heaven named Jennifer Ruby told me about a song that was inspirational to her. The song is Steve Azar’s “I Don’t Have To Be Me (‘Til Monday)” released in 2001. The lyrics are: I got me a brand new car waiting in the driveway...
When I hear a song that speaks to my heart, I tend to relate it to life experiences-both my own and others’. The other day I was listening to a group singing one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs, Bridge Over Troubled Water. The song is an allegory about life; how we liv...
When I first heard the song “Let It GO” from the Disney movie Frozen, it struck me how well the lyrics describe the journey of exploration many of us are on with regards to how we express our feminine side. (After searching to be sure I had the words correct, I discovered I�...
Let me start out by saying that everyone’s experiences are different. I can only provide you with my perspective. My first CD/TG conference experience was Southern Comfort (SCC) in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in September 2016. I had only made the first tentative forays out in public in...
I saw an ad for an online university and one particular line stood out to me. The announcer’s voice was trying to be encouraging when he said, “Talent is evenly distributed, but opportunities are not.” As I heard those words, I realized that while they SOUNDED good at a gla...
