  Hello Ladies - News from the one and only Galaxy Girl, aka Briana Andromeda Purcell.

  I have shared many new ideas on the last few blogs so if you wish scan them a bit to pick up on many new fronts and new prospects for me, but the latest news is purely cosmic in scale I must confess.

  Here I am at these times some months from the last entry and still the development is continuing and growing. 

  I have applied to now less than 20+ jobs as myself - 5 universities and as many as 4 posts in a given university, plus several libraries and a world-renowned museum to  be a hostess as well. 

  I have been out no less than 20+ times with friends, spent time at friend's homes and had a great salmon grilled meal. Many super restaurants with the best of friends. 

  Note I am me 24-7, wear skirts typically 6 out of 7 days a week ( I do have to use some cute jeans to clean up the messes in though ) and no less than 8 dresses to many of these outings.

  I attended to glass making classes, one with a friend for her birthday and one I went to on my own due to my enjoyment of this. I made a gorgeous flower and a galaxy ball paperweight. 

  Well more really cosmic news : Hold on to your hats - it is awesome :

  First I have been to court and the name I noted, Briana Andromeda Purcell is my real and legal name permanently in all ways, places, and things. I now have my social security card, my driver's license, and a bank account with my name on each and every one - everyone loves my new ID - cute photo. 

  Imagine when you first walk into the bank and fill out the deposit or withdrawal form and use your real name! That was sooo sweet. In each and every place I am indeed me. At the bank I talk often with a woman who works there, and asst manager who first asked me my name some 4 years ago and I share with her many of my firsts. Also at the grocery store is an adorable woman who shouts out my name BRIANA from across the store and we run and hug each other. I ahve been more places and did more things in one year that I cannot imagine - been to two auto places having work on the car, going to a variety of stores for many new items, and trying on clothes in various stores in the appropriate changing rooms. A friend even bought a beautiful sweater for me on one of these outings. 

  This is not all of it however.

  I have a job - I went to the interview as myself. 

  I am a adjunct professor - instructor of physics and astronomy at a local college near me. I singed the papers last week for tax forms, retirement et al and all in my name, of course. 

  I knocked out the interview - they wanted a 20 minute presentation whereby I treat the people present as students and I took it to the Moon as they say - I used my book I published, the Inquisitive Pioneer, and did two hands-on activities from it with a very engaging discussion that went on for over an hour and they were excited and loved it. I did not even realize I had been up there that long and was so happy. Never in my life as a teacher, my natural calling in my life, was I ever fully myself and in this moment I was glowing, engaged, happy, whole and just awesome. I have never been so confident and energetic ever until now. 

  Again it needs to be said - I, Briana,  am employed as a college teacher of physics and astronomy. 

  I have been to court and have my name for real and it is awesome.

  Thus far I am always me, on hormones for nearly two years and I see the changes and feel the changes from inside to out and in all ways. I have grown mentally, spiritually, physically, and both dimensions of inside and externally due to all of these journeys. I have the super blessing of such great friends and super times together. I must confess all growth comes from both the journey externally and one internally as well. Each is needed to weave the gorgeous tapestry that each of us are in our lives. This has been true for me. 

  In this time I have grown not just physically but emotionally, mentally, even spiritually. All of my friends see it and note it too. It is an incredible awakening or rebirth as my physics teacher noted - he too is on a journey of spirituality in his life and he and I often have talks for hours at a time on all sorts of soul related matters. 

  This fact - that transitioning is not just bringing to the surface the girl deep inside and showing off via outfits and physical form but instead is the evolution of the whole spirit of the girl that I am. I experience all things emotionally along with deep mental connections and express myself very well. 

  My gal pals are great emotional bonds with all sorts of conversations and we are supportive of each other in many ways. My friends have literally I feel been life savers for me. I see me emerging, blossoming, and becoming in large part due to their presence. Coming out to oneself is the first most critical day in a transgender woman's life, but then the next big day is coming out to and finding a core True Tribe, as we call ourselves, set of gal pals that effects one another and allows oneself to grow and glow I feel and this is my case. Being in the presence of such good souls has allowed me to blossom and this is awesome. 

  There is no greater feeling of wholeness, confidence, happiness, depth, and energy of just pure joy than being your whole self at all times in all ways and being acknowledged and accepted by such warm, caring, friends. As I noted to them - I was a dormant seed and now am in a blooming mode through them. 

  This awakening and awareness has prompted me to look not just the past, not just the present, but the future. Seeking employment is clearly in that camp, but it is much more than that. I am looking in to doing artwork in glass and some other abstract pieces that extend from my being, my feelings, and creativity that is growing too. Besides the glass classes I am looking into knitting an crocheting too for art projects and the like.

  Also I am still re-developing my previously written books with my voice in it moreover ( since they were published as the guy I had to pretend to be for so long ) and am in the process of crafting a story of my transitioning while including in it composites of transgenders and the issues we face in our journeys as I have witnessed them or brushed up against them too. I began a rough outline of a fictional account a few years back and decided to reopen that file - and guess what - speaking from my heart, my soul - there is my voice - I wrote a couple of pages in minutes without even batting an eye. This is what I am referring to in the full evolution I am encountering and embracing in my womanhood and becoming the woman I am. I can speak from my heart and soul. 

  I am even looking to being a spokeswoman for young people in terms of positive messages and bringing along being transgender and seeking to build bridges. This along with my art projects, teaching prospects in colleges, and the like. I have allowed my feelings and mind to seek to be who I can be so as to be the positive energy I have inside and can share with others. 

  Always embracing great health, hope, harmony, and happiness that I often wish others. Always living as I have seen myself, the woman I am, Briana Andromeda Purcell, the Galaxy Girl all my life. 

  There comes a day when you are just yourself. You feel beautifully whole. I am in these times in my life.

  I have been out in one year more times doing more things and have more friends than I ever had in all my life before all of this combined. 

  I am always myself all the time.

  I am Briana Andromeda Purcell

  the one and only Galaxy Girl

  And life is awesome. 

  Thank you for your time and read on this. I will have many more things in the future as time progresses. Every day has its own unique challenges, energies, but I realize my core is that of a happy girl who makes the universe a bright and warm place as it is in me. 

  here are some pictures too of the whole set of adventures :
