🌼 Hey friends, it’s Gwen here!
You know how flowers bloom when they’re good and ready? That’s kind of like life too!
🌸 The Law of Gender tells us that everything has its own time to grow and become what it’s meant to be. Just like those flowers, our transgender friends are blooming into their true selves when the time is right for them.
Did you know you can give birth to your inner flower faster? How’s that Auntie Gwen?
You feed your flower and starve your fear. You do research, reading and listening to anything that will be like Miracle Grow.
You go to conventions and Pride events. You get the idea. Your flower will germinate quicker but don’t rush it. She’ll bloom when she’s good and ready.
So how will I know when I’m ready? Ever see one of those movies when the character is told, “Just wait for the signal! You’ll know it when you see it.”
That’s how it is here. 🌈
It’s so amazing to see them shine and be who they really are. So let’s support and cheer for everyone’s journey.
After all, every person is like a unique flower in the garden of life!

I’ve only recently found your writings and find them very interesting, positive, and helpful. Your writing today automatically triggered a song in my brain by, Amos Lee called “ Flower “ his opening goes: “ My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in the power
Of love “ On our journeys stay positive and feel that inner strength and love yourself, for myself hiding my CD for so long was so much weight on my shoulders to carry I finally accepted that it was okay and makes me happy and stronger even if I only get to get dressed a couple of times a month. Gwen, thanks for your writings, support and encouragement that you give out it is appreciated.
Thank you so much for reading my writings!
Gwen
GWEN,
You are absolutely correct. We all BLOOM at different times and rates. The most important item is not appearance but self confidence, poise and a smile.
Thank you,
Marie Anne Greene
Thanks Marie.
Gwen,
I would be the first to admit I could never have become Teresa without attending CD/ transgender social groups , I’ve never attended large conventions and always intended to visit PRIDE events but never got round to it . Without that support it is harder to grow and flourish .
My life changed when I met another person just like myself. This was before the internet. I found about CD parties on a bulletin board at Lee Brewsters on 10th Ave in NYC. I went to the party which was held in a private home on Long Island. That conversation I had made me realize I was not alone. It changed everything.
Terri,
Agreed. I’m glad you found yourself.
Gwen
Yes I agree. Support groups and functions are like adding Miracle Grow on your flower. It adds confidence that you’re not alone.

Dr. Gwen, for me I crave that fear. In the pass the fear of shopping for femme clothes. Taking that first step to the outside world. That fear kept me pushing my limits to take my inner self to new horizons new challenges. I will be taking a big step this weekend. ✈️👗🌸
