Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Jessica, new here and excited to learn and connect with all of you. I’m really looking forward to sharing ideas, picking up tips, and just hanging out in this space. 😊

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, Since I started my journey and even more so recently, I have been more mindful and observant of things and people. Not in a negative and judgmental way but rather in a learning process of what to do an what not to do. One thing that I had to come to the realization is that there are so many aspects of becoming a gentleman or a lady for our ladies in this community, and even more so than I originally thought. So, as we start to develop and transform into these different aspects of being ladies and gentlemen and we began to hone in on these attributes, qualities, and characteristics, we have to fine tune them and then apply them to each one of us to fit who we are, this can be a difficult and daunting task especially, when we are not endure it, we want to make that change or even if it is for us. And we think that this is difficult part of this transformation, but this is still the easy part of this. Now here comes the really important part, to start bringing all these aspects together and, make then fit like a puzzle. As you began to adjust, move, turn, and try to make sense and make it look like it is supposed to look from all the pictures you've seen in magazines, books, movies, and those in person. We will even go as far as trying to trim something that we know will not fit to try to make it work, and we want to make it work until we step back and look; and certain parts of this picture, we have that we want to be look good but there is somethings that are off in this picture, like the right shoes, the right fit, the right fragrances for you, the picture we are looking for is very close but just not quite right. So we finally get it right to where we want it to be, the right look and everything we have in in place. Now here comes the moist important and most difficult part of this whole endeavor we started out to do, now it's time to put our masterpiece on display, to walk out in public and display our canvas, (our new person we brought into existence), to put ourselves on display to the world.

Critiques always welcome Heater blew in the middle of winter, so the HVAC is being replaced today, ensuring I won't get much done today. Granted, although our morning are cold, our daytime highs will be in the 70s much of the week.
