    Hello,

    I am a fifty-year-old woman. I don't feel old like that sounds, but it's just the facts... I've been heterosexually married (more than once) and have been divorced for fourteen years. I have been aware of attraction to women since a very young age, and what I consider my first love was with a female best friend. But I had fears and shame about judgement by my family and the very conservative location I grew up in, and I did not pursue women in any serious way after that. So... at this time in my life my main concern is to accept myself as I am. And - figure out what that is! So that is what I hope to accomplish here.

    Thank you very much, all of you, for being there and listening.

    Julie :smilewave

    Hi Sky,

    I thought I replied but I can't find it now! Thank you for your kind words and I want to say how much I like your tagline.... choosing love over society.
