BE you have me back as a reader after 10 years.  I grew up rendiag your magazine but stopped rendiag once I was an adult because of skirting certain issues rather than facing them head-on.  I only read publications that actually reflect who I am and since there seemed to be pink elephant syndrome going-on I did not want to spend my money with you.I applaud the awesome article and the conversations from professionals who I can look up to as champions of self-love.  To be able to fully express ourselves as human beings and go to work as a whole person is what everyone wants. However, there seems to be a big gap with LGBTQ employees who still have not been given the room to be their wholeselves.As a Human Resources Professional, African American, Female, Lesbian I find it insulting not to accept all types of people in the workforce. Marginalization of any employees due to bias is wrong and in many cases illegal however people still do it unless they are called to task by people who  know better .If you want to hide behind being African American, or use cultural biases that you were taught at home or in your church as your reason to discriminate against LGBTQ people in the workforce then you are no better than those who discriminate against African Americans or Asian Americans or White-Americans for the same reason.  Discrimination is wrong especially in the workforce where all should be judged by their skill level not their hue or their sexual partner. Some African Americans have created a safe hierarchy as to who it is ok to discriminate against as long as it doesn't include them. This faux hiearchy allows them to justify there own place in the workforce while negating others rights.The people who were not discussed in this are the assistants the admins the co-workers who often hear the back-stabbing comments and who feel the need to speak up and call the discriminators what they are to their faces. I can only hope that these co-workers will be the future leaders and not those who live in a fantasy world of protective hierarchies.HR Diva

I've just finished reading "Like a candle in the wind" and I just had to write to congratulate Laurie: The story is without question the best-written and most heartwarming piece of transgender fiction I have ever read.

Some aspects of the tale have particular resonance for me: I adore Marilyn and have attempted to imitate her on more than one occasion (perhaps I should mention I'm a tv); Also, as part of my transgender art, I reshape my body with corsetry and padding and I recognise in Laurie's descriptions a very real appreciation of the issues involved; Furthermore, we even seem to share the same taste in music!

But that's not all: Laurie has drawn me in and carried me along, unable to stop reading, charmed and intrigued by every detail. She even managed to make me - and I am normally very sceptical - believe in psychic phenomena and a ghostly presence, so deft is her touch.

So many themes, so delicately developed, so beautifully woven.

Bravo!

A very good story that I read elsewhere. The transgender bodysuit idea isn't new but the locale and reason are. The story is well written with good detail and descriptions.

Please hurry and get the next two parts posted. They are very good also

An excellent start.  Serials are certainly not my favourite form of story, and I'm just hoping that this one won't just fade away without coming to a conclusion.

I've enjoyed your previous efforts very much.  The style is right up my street.  A decent plot plot, written in good, entertaining English, and only needing a relatively small suspension of belief.

Please don't delay in completing this one.

Thanks a lot.

Geoff

      The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated.   Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated.  I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory.  Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also.  There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box.   Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs.
