Although yesterday's coffee/chat was a bust something good occurred after I got home. I was checking my FB page I'd created to set this up and noticed someone new had left a msg. After checking into it I emailed her back giving her information about what it was I was trying to accomplish and hoped she could show up for next weeks chat. She emailed me back saying she was not out to her family but just a few close friends know, none of which are lesbian. She has only recently come out and was looking to meet others in the community. We friended on FB and discussed things and I asked her if she would like to chat on the phone. She did, so I called her. We talked for quite awhile about her situation. She is not ready to come out to family and her business clients. Her family is quite religious and not accepting of gay people. I suggested meeting at the Bleeding Carrot might not be the best place as it is a well known restaurant and she might run into people that she may not want to. I suggested maybe we could meet somewhere else beforehand and she was in agreement to that. She contacted me again to let me know when. I told her I knew some people her age (31) that I could put her in touch with that might help her meet others. She does not know anyone gay and needs and wants a little help.
I want to help her as best I can and will. This is, I guess, a by-product from my intentions and a really good one at that. In just one week I have been introduced to two individuals from the LGBT Community who are looking to meet others to help them with their coming out process. I love this and am so grateful that maybe I can be of some help. .
I woke before 5am this morning and had a little FB chat with my Ex. He is the only one I know that gets online that early. He has always started his day about 4am. I am always very grateful after speaking with Paul. I love him dearly and always will without a doubt.
After a very quiet day I sent a really interesting TED video to my new coming out friend as well as to Kris. It was really interesting and I Thought they'd like to see it. Of course I'll never hear back from Kris but that's really OK with me, she really does have very good reasons to not chat these days. However, with my other new friend, she appreciated getting it and watching it. That led to a long discussion via FB of her asking many questions. We got into a fun chat about cats and dogs as she has two dogs and 3 cats. She wants to meet up maybe tomorrow after work here in Owen Sound which is fine with me. During the day would be a little better for her but I'm booked up for the afternoon with volunteering and seeing my Councillor. She will let me know tomorrow when and where she wants to meet up.
Talked with Kelsey via FB and Tobie via Phone which is always so nice. My parents are good today and I assured them I'll be taking the Disability Bus tomorrow and NOT my Scooter which will help Mom with her worry issues.
TV tonight for me and of course way to many Cigarettes but it is what it is and I make no apologies.
I am grateful for my children and parents. Really grateful that this new friend seems to be trusting me and wanting to ask so many Questions to help her with her Journey. I just ask the divine spirit to help guide me so that I don't hurt this girl. I don't think I can hurt her but asking for help will certainly help guide me.
