Living Lesbian Community Group
I wanted a group were lesbian women can get together and chat and just have some fun. No men allowed please!!!!! So come on in and sit down and enjoy yourself.
Hello All
Since we have many new members to this group and many of the longer standing members are becoming more active as winter approaches, I thought it might be a good time to either introduce yourself for the first time or reintroduce yourself so the newer members can get to know us as we get to know them.

On days off i love camping, being with nature and spending time at the cabin. I love to travel and learn about world history. I love exploring culture, music, art and learning new things.
I dont have any pets, i have allergies!
nice meeting you all,
I grew up in Chicago, IL, and after 2 marriages, I came out at 41 yrs old. I met my first lesbian partner on the Internet in 1997, and moved down to Arkansas to live with her. Twelve years later, Dec 2009 we were over and as fate would have it, I ended up in Kansas City, MO, USA instead of back home.
My life has always been full of people coming and going; .....quite adventurous.... and seems to change almost every decade. I've been blessed with a personality that is highly observant/curious and intuitive, so I have learned many, many things during my experiences here.
I'm back up on my feet; dusted off from the deepest cut my heart has ever experienced; and I am ready to rock n' roll again :O)) I'm really looking forward to seeing what Fate has in store for me now. More indepth stuff is on my profile.
I'm new to the group and just looking for some new friends! I am lesbian, I have a wonderful and loving girlfriend that is currently getting ready to be sent overseas to fight for our country! (I'm so nervous because she will be leaving me behind, but I need to be of her support so I have to stay focused!)... (( <3 )) I am really outgoing, loving, opened minded kind of person...love anything outdoors and meeting new people..Hope to get to know some of you!!
God Bless,
Me. << :)
I'm 16 and i'm still in the closet because I have a VERY homophobic family and i'm not sure if or when i'm ever going to tell them i'm a lesbian. I feel really isolated and alone right now, I came here for the same reason i joined this whole website: I just want to feel like their's someone out there who understands because right now I'm feeling pretty low.
Hi There, just wanted to welcome you to DS & to the group! :) I hope you feel comfortable to post again soon. I often read through the posts, & enjoy doing so....but find myself not posting that often. You said since you moved? Its been hard for you to make connections? I live in afairly rural area and have found that to be the case as well. But I would think Boston would have many ways and organizations to meet other lesbians? I've heard of a few women on boards here mentioning meetup.com. That tell of whats in your area that may interest you to go join in etc.
Meanwhile, making some new freinds and connections here on Daily Strength- is a great way to feel less isolated. I know its helped me! I've met some wonderful women here! I'm Sorry to hear that your relationship may not be working out for you. I'm assuming you've already checked out our Lesbian Relationship Challenges forum? Anyways, Wishing you luck in all your new adventures.:)
Blessings to you,
Jess
Welcome to The forum! I'm sorry you are in a low place right now. Feeling isolated is a lonely place to be. As far as your family & coming out to them? You have plenty of time and years ahead of you, where you may feel comfortable coming out to them and the "world"!! I couldn't do it at 16 either! Hope you soon feel part of the lesbian groups here on DS and less alone.....and make some new friends!!
Blessings to you,
Jess
I thought I had already added up a post about myself, but i didn't spot one, so I will do one now. I am 55 years old, soon to be 56 in June, (makes me a Gemini). I was a very youg teen mom! Where have the years flown by to?! I have 3 grown sons (from a very young marriage, many moons ago now) and have a few stepsons, (one left at home, that I am almost done raising, these are my late partners kids, this last one graduates this year, 2012) along with having ten biological granchildren! All are beautiful grand-daughters. & 7 of whom live in California and 3 in upstate NY state.Two of the grandkids there in N.Y.are a set of identical twins under age 2, that I havent even met in person yet!!! I'm hoping to remedy that in the near future.
I have a dog and cat whom I love dearly. Although I have had my share of relationships in the past? I am currently single. I was in an almost 7 yr. relationship with a partner, who died suddenly one day in 2008. I have grieved lots, healed plenty & feel I have made it back to feeling "alive" & ok finally. I would like to date & love again, I know my late partner wouldn't want me to stay alone and lonely. Although of course, i will always love, miss & cherish the memories we made.
I did try out some short term dating a few times in the past year, none that have worked out though. So for now, I guess? friends will be best! One can never have too many friends right?! & I know friendship is the best place to start any new connection, even if one feels an attraction. Relationships built on trust and a friendship foundation are the strongest & healthiest I believe. I also strongly believe if someone is meant to cross my path for friendship or more...then it shall happen.
I am in early retirement. I am a spiritual person, but not a religious one. No organized religions/churches for me! I enjoy creative things, I enjoy art in general & also which I'm wanting to get back to, some creative endeavors after a long absence away from it! Mine was mainly cathartic and healing and more abstract, but i so enjoyed doing it! I also design and create my own earrings & bracelets with natural stones/beads and sterling findings. I used to sell some, but now mostly just give them for gifts and/or for myself. Its relaxing and fun to create new designs.
I now also dabble in pure essential oils, for aroma therapy and to make some special perfume oil blends (I can't wear or tolerate chemical based perfumes). and have also come up with a delightful and invigorating peppermint foot scrub, that helps keep feet soft and rough ones away! A few years back I started making some of my own natural soy based candles, which is alot of fun & adding organic scents that delight the senses & appeal to me.(and hopefully others who smell them!)
I would love to travel to other countries, but so far I have only made it cross country (USA) a few times and into Mexico via San Diego, Ca. & Canada via NY State. I was born & raised in upstate western NY. (Rochester area) Moved to Calif. in my teens. I now live in a fairly isolated rural (beautiful) part of northern Calif, I had moved here with my now late partner. Hard to meet too many lesbians in my area, wasn't too bad when she was alive, but much lonelier now she's gone too. I mostly have acquaintances here.
I live about 4 hours north of San Franciso & The east bay area. Making it harder to just up and go to the more urban areas to meet folks. Plus, I'm not a person who loves to drive long distances alone. I've met some wonderful lesbians on DS though! Just wish I'd make friends with a few in Calif.! Seems most I connect with live in other states. Its great to have lesbian connections though, e-mails and some phone calls and a few chats online help alot to not feel so isolated. I am humbly grateful for these wonderful women.
I've considered relocating to less rural area, to not feel so lonely, but haven't made any plans as of yet. I live less than a hour from the beautiful Pacific ocean/Mendocino coast. I love the ocean and nature, trees, flowers, all the seasons! etc.I have to have water wherever I live, be it the ocean (preferably) or major lakes & rivers. Oh & i love full moons!!! The moon in all her phases really....beautiful luna.......
Well, I guess I'll end this now! I've written a "mini novel" & "Bio" and you may know more about me than you cared to hear lol...I just started typing away and this all came out.... so there ya go!! My long introduction!!
Namaste to All,
Jess
