Happy 2014

2014 is rolling along under full steam now, promising to be a really interesting year. Why? Well I've been cross-dressing up a storm. I now own the same amount of heels as I do regular shoes. So manning up is not going well, but I've been considering if that's such a bad thing or not. To help my contemplation I've written a manifesto, part of which I want to share with you today, as I embark on a year of personal introspection.

Love the Lord your God...

Everything we do should glorify God. I want to live my life glorifying Him. Does cross-dressing form part of that? It's something I've been wondering about since I became a Christian. This is the first and most important point of my manifesto.

Love your neighbour...

We should never hurt others, showing only love. Specifically, I don't want my cross-dressing to hurt my wife, family, friends or you, my readers. This is the second most important point of my manifesto.

...As you love yourself

I have low self esteem, but want to love myself the way God loves me. I want to be happy with who I am, and this is where I think cross-dressing plays a part. I don't want to be a woman, just a man who can enjoy beauty. I don't want to dress like a slut, a girl or have a sex change or breasts or any of that, but I do think I should be able to enjoy dressing up and that it might be a vital part of who I am. My focus this year is to contemplate that.

Porn clouds the mind

I want to eradicate porn from my life, because I need to approach cross-dressing with an untainted mind. This will also make it easier for my wife and I to grow together and to talk about cross-dressing.

That's just some of what I'm thinking about, and I'd love to share the journey here. Leave a comment and let me know you're listening.

Evolving

I found this funny little play set on HowCool.com. While I could obviously blog about evolution versus intelligent design, I'll avoid that mine field for now. It does make me wonder though, how do we evolve in life? I had the thought today that generally we are all trying to do the best we can with what we have. While some have given up the race, the rest of us simply want to live good lives. Is your crossdressing an escape or are you evolving into a better you? I'd love to see more crossdressers being better men (or women) first. Define yourself with something other than the clothes you wear, since you claim clothes don't make the person.

Walk the walk...

I think life is about doing the right thing. Many people seem to think that means doing "what's right for me," but I think that's the thinking that's causing all the trouble these days.

The World is Watching

What you do, what you say, nothing escapes unseen and unheard. We don't live in a vacuum. Why not be the best you can be, a billboard for a better world. People watch and learn from each other all the time, so if I'm kind, loving, strong but gentle (an iron hand in a velvet glove), calm and patient, how much more so will the people around me begin to reflect good things?


If I could be a pair of shoes I'd be these shoes, arms gleefully thrown to the sky and full of life, standing tall and proud. I'd shine my light brightly into every life and people would know the love of Jesus through me. In truth though, I'm more like these shoes, reserved but lovely. That's okay. Just be the best you for a better world.
