The Toastmasters club that made history in 2021 wraps up its first year on Thursday, and it plans to make more history in the upcoming Toastmasters year. This last meeting was different than the rest as it was all speeches and no table topics. I was scheduled to be Table Topics master but will serveContinue reading “Celebrating the Toastmasters Club That Made History”

Saturday’s first in person TLI since December 2019 was one event I was taking advantage of attending. Overall it was a great experience and it was nice to see everyone again. A few of us met up in July in the same venue for the DTM gala when those of us who couldn’t run theContinue reading “Riding the W. A. V. E.”

This week has been one of comebacks. Saturday will mark my first in person Toastmasters club officer training since December 2019. I’m going back to church (online) but for now just visiting. Gender nonconformity has come back (it never really went anywhere… just put on the back burner because I felt like I wasn’t gettingContinue reading “Weather Updates Are Coming Back!”

I also questioned whether or not I should continue with my gender nonconformity journey as I’ve started to embark on my church tour. I nearly abandoned it so I would beContinue reading “Everything’s Coming Back”

On June 30, 2021, I celebrated a huge milestone in my life. I turned the big 4-0. It’s a birthday we can all be proud of celebrating, especially when you think of the one that comes in ten years. Between my actual birthday and the Fourth of July, my family and friends took advantage ofContinue reading “40 So Far”

After planning this so many times and having it fall through due to conflicting schedules, I’m finally going to start a church tour. I talked with a couple whom I work with and we talked about what kind of music we listen to. When I heard K-Love mentioned, that rang a bell because I alsoContinue reading “I’m Doing a Church Tour in June (Cornerstone included)”

Last week I made the difficult decision to quit practicing gender nonconformity. Those of you who followed my blog in 2021 saw my posts celebrating it and saw how happy I was. Today’s blog highlights the reasons why I decided to abandon it after it brought me so much joy last year. Enjoy. 1. TheContinue reading “Why I Quit Practicing Gender Nonconformity”

Tonight was my first time going to church in eight months. It was online (it will be that way for Saturdays when I work) and it wasn’t my church that I was attending, but I felt at home with the pastor and his preaching. Fun fact: Allegheny Center’s senior pastor was the former Worship PastorContinue reading “My First Church Service in Eight Months!”

Sometimes the decisions you make that are for the best, are the ones that aren’t so easy to make. After feeling like I’ve been living my best life practicing my gender nonconformity, I made the difficult decision to abandon it. For those of you who jumped on the bandwagon because of my nonconforming adventures inContinue reading “The Old College Try”

After taking some time off, I’m going back to church this weekend. Also, after taking time to find myself, I’m going back to being me. I haven’t attended church regularly since I stepped away from my regular church home at the time, Cornerstone Ministries. That was back in September. I had some differences there andContinue reading “Going Back to Being Me”
