My journey only really began in the Summer of 2019.  During the worst of my menopause, I was experiencing terrible hot flushes and the only way for me to find comfort was by taking my clothes off.  This was most unusual for me, having had something of a body hatred for most of my life.  I have managed to hide myself away, and my body especially, right from the time I gave birth to my son - he is now 31!  The comfort my nakedness brought me forced a reconsideration of how I feel about myself and I began to explore the opportunities for spending more time nude.  This led to me choosing not to wear clothes and then even to go into our (mostly private) garden naked.

I have discovered so much about myself through this experiment and gained some self-esteem and quite a bit of confidence.  My husband and I are also Christians and I searched around for examples of where nudity was wrong and against God's word, but I have come to the conclusion that it is enormously healthy - physically, mentally and emotionally.  There is nowhere that I have seen that suggest nudity is wrong, so even spiritually it is a good thing.

My husband doesn't approve, generally, but I would say that he is getting used to my nakedness in the house.  I now want to look into it further and begin socialising with other naturists.  I think he is going to find this harder to deal with, but time will tell.
