I tend to stop looking at my phone at around 8pm each night. When I wake in the morning I start checking my email and go through a combination of work related messages, spam, notifications, and emails to Hannah that have piled up overnight. Messages can be everything from my boss freaking out about something … Continue reading An Email Inbox is Like a Box of Chocolates

St. Cloud Pride
Hi! Community has always been essential for anyone that identifies as LGBTQ+. It's somewhat frustrating to acknowledge that support and friendship and solidarity is just as crucial now as it was fifty years ago. One would hope that acceptance of us would be more widespread than it was decades ago. A few years ago I … Continue reading St. Cloud Pride
Spirit
Oh boy. When I started to type this post there was no intention to upset anyone. But upon rereading it I am realizing that this might come off as... offensive to people of certain faiths and religions. That's the last thing I am intending to do here. People have deeply held beliefs and I don't … Continue reading Spirit
Fridays and Feminine Flaws
I don't want anyone to think I am a professional model. And I don't want anyone to think that I myself think that I am a professional model. I'm not and I don't. Annnd I don't want to be. Well, maybe I do... but only when I am stuck in a meeting or staring at … Continue reading Fridays and Feminine Flaws
I Wear Girls’ Clothes
There are things that we think will never happen to us. And I don't mean giant disasters or a fatal medical diagnoses. No, I mean the small and subtle changes that slowly and gradually occur over the course of our lives. When I was in my late teenage years and early twenties, I obsessively sought … Continue reading I Wear Girls’ Clothes

I am always grateful when ya'll point out some helpful resources about anything that can benefit a … Continue reading A New Voice
A Sometimes Sister
I am a BAD t-girl. And I don't mean I am a naughty minx who is looking for sexy trouble. I mean days that are meant to celebrate our contributions as a community usually sneak up on me. Yesterday was the Transgender Day of Visibility and I didn't realize it until the night before. I … Continue reading A Sometimes Sister
Ask Hannah!
I'm 6' tall and weigh 185 lbs. I fit fairly well in a woman's XL or size 14, but my belly pushes out. Can you recommend some sort of belly cincher that (1) works and (2) won't break the bank? Hi! I don't have toooooo much experience with cinchers but I swear on my life … Continue reading Ask Hannah!
Well, Now What?
I think there is unmatched ambition that comes with youth. There's this amazing and naïve optimism that we have... a fire that burns hot... until the world succeeds in beating it out of us. Worn down by responsibilities and heartbreak we develop a slow resignation that we are powerless. But that's not true. We can … Continue reading Well, Now What?
So, What Did YOU Do This Weekend?
My first job was in fast food which is pretty typical for a teenager. I spent my Saturdays getting yelled at by hangry people if their sandwich had too little or too much mayonnaise. Most of my friends were also working on the weekends as well and there was something fun about seeing your friends … Continue reading So, What Did YOU Do This Weekend?
