Hello, my name is Michelle Renee. I am very proudly Transgendered,
and a Resident of Ottawa, Ontario Canada "The Nation's Capital"
Thank you for visiting my rose garden today.
To me a rose is one is something that nature created most perfectly,
despite it's protective thorns. To me, a rose depicts many female characteristics.
I suppose that is why they have always been my most favoured flower.

I hope that you will enjoy your visit here today
Hopefully, by the time you leave, you will be more enlightened
towards the often complex world, we Transgendered live in.
Like the rose thorn, some consider it a curse, I prefer to think of it as a joy,
very much like the flower I enjoy so much, beautiful yet complex.

The Beauty Of A Woman
The beauty of a woman Is not in
The clothes she wears
The figure she carries
Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows.
