Perfect imperfection

We are our worst critics and in doing so there is big chance of losing ourselves in the things we don’t like. I at least did that for long.

Remember to smile

Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life

Bridesmaid

Last week I was part of a beautiful and special moment in the life of two dear friends. I had been invited by them to attent their wedding, which was a delight, and came with a wonderful surpise.

Coming out to my daughters

Over the past years I came out to a number of friends. I knew that I had to tell my children eventually, but I kept postponing it as I was unsure how they would take it.

Inner Freedom

These two words resonated deeply when a dear friend said them to me nine years ago. It started my journey of opening up to my feelings and process all that I had kept to myself.

Pride experience

I was watching an interview with Courtney Act yesterday and someone asked her about her first pride experience. It made me think back about mine.

How I know

People like to categorize, attach labels to groups with common ideas and believes. I guess it helps us to feel connected to what sets the group apart. Labels helped me to figure what I have been feeling all my life.

La Traviata

In 2018, about half a year after coming out, I found myself often in chatrooms fro crossdressers and transgenders. It was wonderful to be able to connect with other people on the same journey. One conversation let me to go out to the Opera in Hamburg.

Las Vegas

After yesterday’s post on the talk from CiCi, I had to think about my first visit to Las Vegas as Liv. For my work I have been to visit Las Vegas a couple of times before. Around a year after my coming out, I had another opportunity to go there. This time I made sure to pack some dresses, my makeup and heels.

The hardest thing

My sweet and dear friend Sherri, who is always here for me and helps me so much in my journey, some time ago shared this video with me. A beautiful inspirational talk by CiCi.
