The name of this blog resulted from the conflicting feelings of now having 4 names, post marriage. I didn’t realize the complex nature of first deciding on my new name (and debating if I should in fact have a new name), then coming to terms with the new identity of that name and finally working thru the paperwork to acquire said new name.



Writing has been my form of “therapy” since I discovered the power of words in my 10th Grade English class. Something about putting words to paper allows the stress and angst of the day to shed itself effortlessly. In college I wrote papers upon papers (being an English Education Major), took breaks from my papers to do my own writings and then returned to my research papers with vigor and focus. My academic writing improved as my personal writing vault grew- the reinforcement of tone and attitude permeated thru my written works as I honed myself on paper.
