Living The life and loving it
August 8th, 2011 7:50 pm MDT
It has been almost 10 years since i made the big decision to put away my male self and be true to who i really was and am. Although it has not been an easy time, it also has not been without many precious and endearing moments. i no longer have qualms about going out anyplace and very rarely get any bad reaction. Home Depot, Meijer, the auto parts store, etc... no biggie, just routine.
Working at Janets Closet has been a life saver for me. i had been without a job since 2007 and had become homeless and lived out of a 1992 Buick with my T-friend Jasmine for a while before we were accepted into the home of a long-time friend named Delores Dugan down in Florida. After living down there for a year and finding no work, Janet Law of Janet's Closet offered me a job working as her IT person , website builder, ebay and shopping cart person, and sometimes in sales and make-overs. i have been working there for quite a while now and love it. Jasmine started working there also in the shipping department and things are really looking up for us now. Without the help and support of Delores and Janet i have no clue as to where we would have ended up. Take a look at the new www.janetscloset.com website and see the work i have done so far, with much more in the works!
i am looking at coming down to the August 2011 URNA party. It has been a long time since i have been to any T-social type event and i am looking forward to it.
Being a part of URNA has been important to me and at one time i was a paying member here, something i hope to do again soon. As a website design and support person i know how much time and effort goes into making a website like this become so easy to use and navigate. Many Cudos to you!
i am not and will never be a judger of others, God knows i have done my share of not-so-vanilla things in my life, but i make no apologies for it. i am not so pretentious and full of myself that i would ever leave URNA just because they chose to put advertising for she-male websites. i have many friends that are in the business of making money through she-male videos or cam shows and they are some of the nicest people i have had the good fortune to have met. Some are open about it, and some keep it on the down-low. i guess i am just open-minded in this regard.
Well, time to close. Hope to see a few of the members at the URNA party this August.
Breathe Free...
Forever, Dawn
I found my love!!
September 1st, 2006 4:21 am MDT
It was in a bar... A friendly little bar called the RHouse , in, of all places... Toldeo, Ohio.I saw her. She was dancing in the show for the Girls Night Out. I was not looking for love, and my life was on an upswing. I saw her.Mind you... I had seen her before. Once or twice at GiGi's bar in Detroit, Michigan. But it was somehow different this time, or, I was different. All I know is that I was totally infatuated by her. I felt like some silly little schoolgirl. Lovestruck. When she came and sat next to me afterward to say hello my heart was racing so fast I was afraid I would pass out. When i put my arm behind her for a picture of us, my fingers actually tingled before they touched her back. I was at a loss for words... me! ~giggle~When I asked others about her, they all told me such wonderful things about her. How sweet and nice she is. We started to IM each other on yahoo and email. I fell in love with this lovely woman.We are entering into a long term relationship and I could not be happier. I know it will not be easy because of the distance... about 5 hours away... but the distance only seems to fuel my love for this angel.We have met a few times and I am already looking at wanting to be with her for the rest of my life. This is like a storybook tale... I have never, ever felt like this before in my life.I love you... my angel eyes.Breathe Free...Forever,Dawn

Breathe Free...
Forever, Dawn
My old urnotalone profile info and more
April 3rd, 2006 3:58 am MDT
Okay, This is going to be long... i have taken the old profile info and pasted it here as this is where it should be, right?Current news... Divorce is almost final!!! It has been quite an emotional rollercoaster for me and also for my wife. But, it was something that could not be avoided because she just can't live with this part of me. ( Hmmmm... funny... it was always there, just locked away...) Part of me wonders why she has such a problem with me dressing. i have my theories, but... another time for that.At the age of 53 as of this journal entry of April 3rd , 2006... i decided to put up a sexier picture of myself on urnotalone. The picture is not retouched in any way, it is me. i have always been rather blessed with the camera being very kind to me. Just like every girl out there, you take a few hundred pics and use maybe 10 of them! Well, this pic came out so good i just couldn't resist. (smile)Forever,Dawn December,12/24/05Happy Holidays to everyone!!!my World Aids Pool Tournament ended, unfortunately myteam did not win... or... maybe fortunate after all, becausei shot as Dawn and had to sign in with my boi name, andif we had won it might have been listed with the group pic!Instant outing!!! LOL Who knows, maybe they will have pics of all the teams with names anyway. (smile)my thanks to the other t-girl , Bobbie, and the 5 lesbiansthat were on my team, Sandra, Christy, Jeannete, Tammy,and Marilyn. The only all-girl team in the event, we madea good show getting into the finals and for a really greatcause.12/2/05Let me first start out by congradulating Maryalice for making it all the way through reading my profile! (smile)Update on November... On thanksgiving day i came out to my mother. She accepted me! my thanks go out to all of you girls that gave me the strength and courage to do it, i love you all so much! Thanks for being there for me when i need you on my journey.Writing alot of poetry on my yahoo website in my blog area... and it is helping me... getting out my feelings. Love you mom!Forever,DawnNovember,11/21/05Trying to cope with all the changes within my life and the problems at home... Not an easy task for any of those involved.Still trying to find Dawn's place in life and where i am going. Itis still a mystery to me and i do not have the answers yet...Time... i keep reading and talking and discovering. Like a baby,learning. i had realized recently that my pictures and my wayof dress were not reflective of me anymore, so i am making aneffort to clean house. It has just been in recent weeks that ihave realized that there is more out there for me then the barsand the sexy pictures. Sooooo.... i am taking another road inmy journey. A road that i did not know was there and will betalking about more soon. i am learning... slowly.11/8/05, going to my counseling and i like it. Just what i needed. She keeps opening up what has been locked away for so long. Still some things that i either can't find the key to or i just am not ready to open... 49 years of suppressing it... What is with some of my friends trying to get me on hormones? It seems like they might be dealers. LOL Ain't gonna happen until i am ready and i get the okay from my shrink, if ever.October!!October 30Filled out all the divorce papers tonight... whew! It was so danged easy to get married, seems like you should be able to get divo'ed just as easy! Maybe alot of marriages would not happen if each person had to go through alot of paperwork before they could tie the knot ! Have the loving couples fill out all the paperwork before they get married, then, if they want to divorce down the road all they gotta do is go in and sign the divorce decree paper , i think that would make alot of people understand what lies ahead of them !October 224 years now as Dawn !! Seems like just yesterday... i am 53 in human years, but what about "Dawn" years? Is it strictly that i am 4 years old, or is it like a dog where i have to multiply 4 by 7 to get my actual years? That would make Dawn 28... i think i can live with that!! LOLmy birthday month! Turning 53 this month... anyone want to deliver my spankings? Hated those birthday spankings as a kid, but as dawn i look forward to them! LOL Hope alot of you girls and admirers are going to drop by the Dunes Resort in Saugatuck , MI this weekend, Oct 13th thru the 17th and see me. It should be fun, it was last year.forever, dawnSo many lovely and wonderful girls and admirers and more here! It seems like just when i need a good dose of sweetness and acceptance... the great people on URNA come through for me! Thanks URNA for giving me such a great refuge and a place to find unparalleled support. Hard to believe that it has been 4 years that Dawn has been out, and only in the past year have i felt so comfortable being myself that i can go shopping, eat, and party in public. ( The public has requested that i start eating and partying inside, LOL)It is a real discovery year for me and come february.. or maybe sooner... i am going to start on hormones, maybe.... So... watch out for my mood swings! i am going to be leaning alot on a few very good friends to help me through it. Baby steps... but progress. forever, DawnPS.. i added GG to my list of types of people i am looking for so that i can help Roxy get herself a good woman. (although why she would want a GG i have no clue!! ) So... any pretty little GG out there that is looking for a cute girl, write me or check out Roxy in my friends list. She is an ultra beautiful person that you will love getting to know.Wow... September already... The TG picnic was basically a wash-out due to the threat of bad weather, although i did get to meet a few friends and make new ones. October is right around the corner and on the 14th through the 16th I will be in Saugatuck on the west side of Michigan for the CGS weekend at the Dunes Resort. It will be great to see all of the westside girls again and go shopping!!!! This year I will have my credit card in hand !!! A great time there last year and this year is looking to be even better as more girls are going.YeeHa! i got my Impreza WRX back!!! i soooooo love driving that royal blue WRX as Dawn! Fun to work the clutch in my 5 or 6 inch heels! Going to the Ann Arbor TG picnic August 20th. Should be fun. Hope to see some local girls there.Okay.... I turned the ratings back on after a little coaxing from my friends... Love my friends, but I don't understand their need to give me pain, lol. August is still going great although my WRX is back in the shop... again! ARRGH! Driving a Malibu and it just does not fit with Dawn's style... maybe i should get a grey haired wig , a shawl, and some grannie glasses... NOT !!One weekend.... I can do this.... August... What a great month so far!! Had alot of fun out and about as Dawn... Had a chance to take some pics on a motorcycle, owned by my good girlfriend Roxy. What a fox she is blossoming into!!! I am so glad that I live in Michigan with all of the great places to go that are friendly to T-girls and all of the fantastic friends , male, female, and T-girls that are here! Love ya' all !!! Forever , DawnDecided to take myself off the rating system... Tired of getting good ratings and then someone giving me a very low rating to knock me down drastically. I would not mind so much if the person that gave it wrote me to say why... i am always looking for comments on how to be better at being Dawn.July has been a busy month for me... but I am still finding time for Dawn, she can be such a demanding little wench! LOL I took a few fetish shots of me in ballerina heels, boy... do they make the legs shapely, I think every muscle is strained in those heels!Hi everyone! Glad you took the time to read a little about Dawn. I had the great pleasure of being a 9.3 with over 10 votes to land me on the top girl list for a full 15 minutes on June 23rd ! LOLIt was wonderful and I guess that they are right about the fact that everyone gets 15 minutes of fame! Such a great honor, thanks to all of you that voted so highly for me, I am truely flattered !!What a fantastic place Urnotalone is. Where else can you meet so many wonderful people online? Nice to have a home. Now that I am a member of Urnotalone I suppose I should start to hang out here more often. The chatroom is alot of fun and although I do not always participate in chatting in the lobby, I do answer all of my private messages.Again, thanks to all of you that thought enough of this old broad to give me my 15 minutes of fame. Viewing the other girls that I was up there with... Wow! I hope my wig will still fit now that my head has swelled so much ! LOLForever, DawnHello from Michigan! I am a crossdresser in my 50's. I am looking for other T-girls and admirers for friendship and more. I have been dressing for over 30 years but always by myself until the year 2001, when I finally made the journey out to a TV friendly bar. I had a great time and met some great people. I am enjoying being Dawn more each time I dress and meet with others. I am a happy person, so in most of my photos you will find me smiling. It has been my pleasure to have met a few of the Michigan girls posted on Urnotalone, and I am glad I finally posted myself. I am presently going through a separation. I have been working on my wardrobe and have finally started to get some slacks and sensible shoes! Gotta wear the clothes women wear when you go out shopping during the day. (smile)Okay, okay... the sensible shoes are 4 inch heels... but I am working my way down slowly! lol. I still love my high heels though, and change for the nighttime to my 5 or 6 inchers. I worked the Ferndale, Michigan Motor City gay pride June 5th. It was a very hot and sunny and humid day and standing out in the sun for a few hours passing out bags was grueling.. but I loved it! Beautiful people. I am going through some changes in Dawn's life, not sure where I am going but I hope I am making the right decisions. Then again ... do any of us really know? lol Anyway, I continue to meet beautiful people that have been instrumental to my life as Dawn. Forever, Dawn
