Time to say Goodbye

Jul1

This is not an easy post for me to write and it may be a little disjointed.

For the past four years I’ve been one of the Coordinators of our local transgender support organisation, a position which has meant so much to me because of the good that has been achieved by the group and the help that we have been able to provide to so many people at various stages of their journeys of discovery and awareness.

I wanna be …

I wanna be a cis-gendered hippy chick.

Covid-19 Isolation: Hang on in there #11

Apr30

I hope you have enjoyed this series of tracks which were intended to remind you of your friends and loved ones who you maybe cannot be with because of the restrictions during the current pandemic, and to let you know that you are not alone in wanting to be with people who are important to you and that you miss so much.

I’d like to round off a full dozen postings with one of your choices, so leave a comment below if there’s a song that you feel follows this theme and I’ll pick one of them for tomorrow’s last post in the series.

Stay safe, and know that love and understaning will win through.
