The Transcendent Rainbow Cafe - social space for LGBTI members

[Paul]

It would be so great to have a thread here where we can chat about almost anything. We can have fun, tell jokes, share stories, you name it!

There's a "BB Cafe" thread in the general area where lots of people chat daily and have established some nice light hearted conversations, it's treated as if it's a real cafe, there's even virtual baked goods and coffee!

Let's create a chat here for anyone to join, in particular the GLBTIQ community to let their collective hair down and chill out. It's a safe space to be yourself.

We just need a name 🙂

Hey Jo and scratches to you LD... I am on my way to a long weekend away with friends and chatting to you from the car...

You have so many wonderful stories that I am loving sharing with you and hearing about when you lived on the sailboat is so fantastic..... imagine eating that fresh fish right there... wow... you have really inspired me to try my hand now at some sushi... I am going to try and see how I go.

Empathy and emotional responses are so closely linked in that when we do feel so deeply we can easily imagine what another person mite be experiencing... both so wonderful but also can be very draining and heartbreaking too.. as you do take on the feelings of others.

I am so beyond excited for you that the process has started at the gender clinic.. that you have a plan and you have a path to being Jo.. so wholly and that is just fantastic... I am so happy for you.

Welcome home LD and hope your stay at club Med was awesome xxx I am sure you are happy to be home tho. How gorgeous that she licked the tears from your face.. that is true love isn’t it... the love from animals is just so pure and the smallest things melt your heart.

Sometimes if you want to show a sunset or a gorgeous pic that does not have you in you can put as your profile pic if you want to share beautiful things you see along your journeys.

So I am on my way for a 5 day get away with my gorgeous friends and a well overdue relax and catch up time. I am so looking forward to it so please excuse if I am somewhat quiet this weekend.

Hope today is so wonderful for you and you have a gorgeous weekend too.. huge hugs to you.. I do love hugs and freely give them... hahaha

Happy Friday and let you know how my weekend is going.

Hugs hugs hugs and a special one for you LD xx
