Mayan prophecies say that the world is going to end tomorrow, December 21, 2012.
Others say that this is actually a time of spiritual shift.
If I had my way, this would be the beginning of an era where ALL the different variations of gender and beauty are celebrated.
Regardless of what happens (or not) tomorrow, why not use it as an opportunity to usher in a “new world” for yourself and get clear on your intentions for the new year – particularly for your fab femme self?
First, is there something you need to LET GO of from the “old world” on December 21?
Perhaps fear, shame, or even something as mundane as an outdated hairstyle?
Second, what do you want to CREATE in the “new world” in 2013 and beyond?
Maybe you’ll decide to show off more of your gender-bending beauty, master your femme moves, or rock a new hairstyle in 2013?
Change is in the air, girlfriend, and now is the time to decide what you want to create in YOUR world.
So what’s it going to be?
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below!
Love,
Lucille
P.S. In the off chance that the world really IS ending tomorrow, I suggest you wear lipstick and nice underwear … just in case. ;-))
Lucille,
After 6 years of guilt and shame over what I felt my transgendered status had done to my family, I finally “began” to accept who I really am inside. Two years ago, I finally went full time female, and I can’t even begin to describe the weight lifted off of my shoulders. It helps of course to work with some of the most awesome people in the world who were there for me when I came out at the workplace. They have made me feel so comfortable at work. However, because everyone knew me as the man I was before I came out, I have since that day always dressed the part, but I never made any serious attempt to change my voice, and now that 2 years have passed, I feel awkward about trying to change in mid stream at work. The funny part, however, is that when I am out in the Mall by myself or even in a business setting without my co-workers, I am able to speak with a feminine voice and no one even bats an eyelash or does a double take. I think the time has come to change that, and what better time than the last day on earth to do it? (Very little time for ridicule if I mess it up)! Seriously, I think it’s time for a change!
For me… it’s the end of an old path… the closing of old ways of thinking… and the realization of my true potential as a person.
It’s a time to stop hiding and playing a role I learned to fit in. It’s a time to leave the shadows and cast off my mask. It’s a time start being myself no mater what society might think and give courage to those still in the shadows. It’s time to celebrate who I am as a Two Spirited person and share with the world my gifts. It’s time to set my feminine self free and learn with a child like heart.
Every person is special… a gift… and unique to society. Our differences are to be Celebrated… and Admired… Not reviled and feared.
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
It will be a new world for me,I am waiting to hear back from my surgeon, with a date for surgery in the new year. It will be a Happy New Year!!!! A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Lucille,
I am a lost soul still trying to figure out who I am. I am a 40 year old man who has a wife and family that doesn’t want to understand what’s going on inside my head. Somedays I’m not sure I understand, I just know I enjoy dressing up as a woman. I’m confused on how it makes me feelsomedays I want to become a woman others I just enjoy dressing up. Can you help this lost soul?? Katelynn
Katelynn,
I am a trans woman and I know and can understand what you are going through. First sweetie you need to want to understand what is going on inside your head. Without it you will never find what you are looking for. With me I found out that just dressing as a woman was not enough for I wanted more. If dressing up as a woman satisfies you and you only need to do this once in a while then just enjoy it. If on the other hand you are like me and want more to stay as a woman, I would talk to a therapist just make sure they are one that takes on transgender patients. Hope this helps
OMG Katelynn, I never would have done this two years ago, but years of therapy helped me through my dilemma, and it sounds a lot like you might benefit from a bit of the same thing. I didn’t know where I was going either, and it took a long time to come to grips with “my own” reality, but once I realized with the help of my therapist that I was the only one who was transgendered – not my family, and my “issue” and my family’s “issue” were two different things, I was able to face it, and in my case, I’m pleased to say, as Cara. It was difficult, but separating myself from the guilt and shame which I felt over my sudden dilemma was a must for determining who I really am on the inside. Your result may be completely different from mine, but you’re the only one who can determine the truth about your life! No one else can! Good luck
I would like the end of the old world and beginning of the new to see the vanishing of all guilt and shame from T’s, as you mentioned. That would truly be a New Age!
My world ended long ago for me Love to all and a very good night
