Hello how are you? I came across this website some time ago and it blew me away – Caroline Myss and the Chakra energy fields in your body. There are seven major Chakras and they align with the Seven Sacraments and the seven colours of the rainbow and seven days of the week. Have a read and change your life! https://www.myss.com/chakras/. What reminded me of this today was an email I got from Caroline suggesting that when you come across…
In 2008 and 2009, I spent two full winters writing in my ‘frillies’, in Murroe, County Limerick and the words that came, screamed out from somewhere deep inside. They had a life of their own. Every night, I sat on my bed (in my best nightie of course), furiously typing until finally, it was done. I didn’t write ‘Ode to Coumeenole” as much as I penned it if you know what I mean. It came through me with its own…
Last month, I made a promise that I would launch this ‘Petrafied’ blog on March 24th, 2020, the 52nd anniversary of the day my Dad died. And … “A Promise is A Promise“ So … If you’re reading this I have launched already which means its too late to save me! 🙂 They say, the memory of some things, like the day someone special in your life dies, never leaves you. Some say you get over it but others believe…
Somehow, she appeared to ‘fly-out’ through the front door, or maybe she just glided? I’m not sure which or what, but either way, it was a magical day. “Do you want to do that now?” she asked. “Yes,” I said without hesitation. We all loved them but there were only two pairs, a pink and a white. They’d been a gift to my sisters and all I can remember is wondering why I hadn’t been included! I could call them…
By the time the family came to live in Cork, in March 1959, we were a full seven strong, not counting Ma and Da, with another one on the way! By 1967 we would be the full dozen! It was Da’s dream to have twelve! But to say ‘there were twelve of us’ wasn’t quite true. There were thirteen if you count Pauline who was the ‘cot death’ child! What do you mean “‘If’ you count Pauline?” Why wouldn’t you…
“What has this got to do with transitioning?” I screamed. “We’re talking about cross-dressing here.” “I know.” she nodded. “How did we get on to transitioning? I continued. “I told you before, I do not want to be a woman, I just want to wear women’s clothes!” I did my best to move out of the room, in a commanding way, but what I actually did was ‘storm out’. I was careful of course, not to let the door bang…
This blog is ostensibly a blog about what it’s like to have been a ‘crossdresser’ all my life! I hate the term ‘crossdresser’ of course! It suggests something is wrong but more on that later. This is one man’s story about the ‘why’ and the ‘what’ of it all and how it has, quite frankly, consumed and defined me! But it’s more than that too. I hope? I love life with all its ‘ups and downs’. I want to live…
