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”

After 13 years, I forget what it feels like to travel every day for work. This week marks six months that I’ve been with Giant Eagle. I was hired on November 19 after applying online and doing two interviews (one by phone and one by video). After orientation and a training session that included watchingContinue reading “Six Months at Giant Eagle”

Since graduating college in 2005, I struggled with myself. I failed to come to terms with my time in college because things didn’t work out. I denounced ever attending Slippery Rock because nothing came of it except working a menial job at Kings. I mellowed out a little when I got hired at WIS butContinue reading “The Meaning Behind April 13”

In today’s blog, I look back on this magical day one year ago when I celebrated the wedding of my fashion buddy and stylish sister and my new brother in law. In my top ten of 2021, this ranked in my top three along with turning 40 and celebrating my gender nonconformity. I got theContinue reading “The Wedding Revisited”

On Monday, I highlighted my mental health journey as I talked about my coming out. I also talked about my gender nonconformity which has really come to light over the last few years. While I’ve experienced happiness from it, I’ve also spent a lot of time defending it as some of those close to meContinue reading “My Mental Health Journey through Adulthood.”

I’ll start off the blog by wishing Gram a happy birthday on what would have her 95th yesterday. I remember many great Mother’s Day picnics at Shawnee and Berlin with my aunt, uncle and cousins. The holiday just isn’t the same since she passed in 2006. Mother’s Day picnics at Shawnee were as much traditionContinue reading “Laurel Highlands Meeting Recap 5/10”

Recently my mother brought to my attention one of my former coworkers from my old job. He worked there in the early 2010’s and, to say the least, was not very nice to me. After he left at the end of 2013, he ran into trouble with the law. Without getting into it due toContinue reading “Coming Out at the Right Time”

Hello. I know you haven’t seen too many blog posts lately. Don’t worry about me because I’m all right. It’s been a busy Spring with work and I’ve been pursuing other interests. Here’s some of the things that have kept me from blogging over the last month and a half. I’ve been hard at workContinue reading “Stylish Returns”
