Okay, if you are wondering about my progress:
I am making some head way in my journey. I have indeed had my eyebrows shaped via waxing by my stylist. They are not thin but arched, I had them done on the third, almost two weeks ago.
And tonight, I had my first make-up session. The young girl, Kim, didn't even raise an eyebrow when I told her, "I want to look like her." pointing to a picture of Sela Ward (actress on CSI New York). And she did a great job! I am so pleased. I had her explain what she was doing, what she was using and I also did some picking of shades. What an experience.
The shop owner, Faye, an older woman, ask if this was something I was intending to do everyday. I said not just yet, only for occassions for now. This summer, however, I think I be more or less full time.
So, I have the products and utensiles, now I need to practice.
That's it for now. More to come.

The plan continues.
I'm dismayed by the delay in progress and I only have myself to blame for the hold up. I keep saying "since I'm not out at work, I can't ___". Like shape my eyebrows, without that I can't start learning make-up techniques, but also my beard isn't totally gone yet either. I'm also hold off peircing my ears.
But, I'll tell you this: after Thanksgiving Holidays, I will have my stylist wax my brows. And since I've already spent almost $700 on shoes, I need to start building a wardrobe, and I'll call Merle Norman and get that help I mentioned last time. After all, I do want to go to that group meeting as Jemma. I've got the cutest, as cute as a size 14B can be, pair of boots I want to wear, so I need something to go with them.
Everything else is panning out as far as "the plan" is concerned. My hair continues to grow, its now almost as long as it was when I was a senior in high school. I continue to get manicures and pedicures. My legs, chest and back are silky smooth, I just had the fifth laser session on my face. I have therapy sessions every other month, next one is in Jan. I continue to seek support here and on another couple of websites.
The thing I still need work on, besides what I've already mentioned, is my voice. I've just gotten rid of a cold, so I really need to buckle down on this voice thing.
Love and best wishes to you all,
Jemma

Here is another step to my plan:
10. Get help with cosmetics: Find a Merle Norman or some other professional make-up place and get pointers on shades, techniques, and skin care. Spend a bit more than you would at a discount store, this will pay off in the long run,as you won't be trying and discarding until your own experiments produce an acceptable look. Get the right look faster with specialized assistance.

Thank you for the support. I talked with my gender therapist this past Monday, 14 June. I went over my plan adding a few details. I don't know if you have read my post about my spouse wanting a divorce. I included this with my talk with my Dr. He said he thought a major stumbling block had been removed. I agreed, since I didn't want to transition if it was going to cause her pain. Which it has.
But her pain is for me and my "condition". which I have suffered with for 40+ years. She is very sympathetic toward me, but, and rightly so, she can not stay married to me since I do plan to transition. My Dr. is convinced that I need to do this and I definitely do!
So when our divorce is final and I have moved out, I will begin. Incidentally, my Dr. is recommending me for hormone therapy. A letter request blood work and several tests is on its way to me. But I wont start this for two to three months, or may be not then, depending if BB comes through with some changes in me. I'm still hopeful, though nothing to report after 29 days.
BTW, my wife said she'd like to be friends but can not guarantee this if I don't look like my male self. It will take time to transition and maybe she'll become comfortable with the gradual change I'll be going through.
I will continue to post my progress. And I hope this will help my other sisters-in-waiting out there.
Sincerely,
Jenny Marie

Hello to all my sisters out there!
I think it's important for us to have a plan or guide for this transition. Taking BB is a beginning but it's not enough to have a female shape with out the rest. So here is an outline of "My Transition Plan":
- Grow out your hair: Hair grows at a rate of about 6 inches per year, and if your have been like me you've had short hair for a long time. So start letting it grow then find a salon and stylist.
- Begin voice training: You may end up with a gorgeous feminine body, but if you don't have a female voice, you'll get read. There are several voice feminizing Cd's and mp3 downloads available. Start now as it may take several months of practice.
- Begin laser hair removal: I hate shaving! And no matter how close a shave I get, I'm still left with that shadow. Its difficult to cover with make-up and I don't want to deal with this forever. This will take several treatments and may cost several hundred dollars, but you'll look younger with smooth skin.
- Start/continue weight management: That's weight management not diet. Watch not only what you eat but also how much and how often. We have already been advise that a good whey protein shake will help BB transform our bodies faster. Also aerobic type exercise will help trim the figure.
- Tell _______: I feel its important to let someone who is close to you know what you are going through. Having someone to confide in will help lessen the burden. I told my older sister two years ago. She was very sympathetic when she heard the pain in my voice. She has encouraged me to tell our momma. So, next weekend when I go for a visit I'll tell her.
- Visit a gender therapist: If you don't have anyone close you can tell, find a qualified psychologist who specializes in transgender-ism.
- Take care of your health: Depression is some times unavoidable during transition. and your health will suffer. Also, don't let the diet and exercise get out of hand. Don't starve yourself to lose pound and inches. A note here: there are a few feminizing hypnosis Cd.s and downloads available. These are designed to help you feel comfortable with your decision to become feminine. Look into this.
- Be patient, Be patient, Be patient: That is worth saying over and over. I know I have wanted this for so long, it's difficult to not expect or want over night results. Not seeing anything for weeks on end maybe somewhat frustrating. But, on the other hand, I realise this will take several months to a year or more, so I don't have to worry right now what others will think of me.
- Seek support: Okay, I realize this coincides with #5, but it is important to find like minded individuals to discuss a variety of issues that we will face during our transition. This forum is an excellent place to begin. Also, might I recommend: http://www.tsroadmap.com for those of us wanting to go all the way.
So, there it is. It's by no means comprehensive nor complete. It's just a place to start with topics to contemplate.
I would like to add that if you are married always consider your spouses feelings! Don't ever be dismissive of her. Don't have the attitude: This is what I want, so there!
I'll leave you with a qoute from the movie, Matrix :
"The Matrix can't tell you who you are"
All my best,
Jenny M
