Let’s give them something to talk about!

For years I have toyed with the idea of writing a book about my life. Places and people I’ve known, and some I had to simply survive.

I always hesitate because I don’t know if I would be able to actually write an autobiography without including a lot of people who would rather remain anonymous for legal and/or personal reasons.

The people in my life, who know me well, know that I will have no problem calling people out for their transgressions. This ‘calling out’ would cover more than just the country I am able to call home once again.

My life is more than about just me. It includes all of those people – good and bad. What I went through with them, because of them, and in spite of them goes a long way to making me the woman that I am today. I don’t feel that my story would be complete if these people aren’t included. After all, they played important roll in my development. I had to make a conscious decision to be a survivor and not a victim.

So there is my dilemma…Maybe I can come up with a pen name and write anonymously.

I’m a lot of things – cautious is one of them!

I am a mother, wife, cousin, sister, aunt, niece, daughter, cook, maid, counselor, supervisor, supporter, fixer, friend, enemy, fighter, wiper of tears, giver of hugs, defendant of underdogs, persecutor of the guilty, intolerant of stupidity, smarter than the average bear, survivor, not afraid to speak up, sometimes welcoming, often times hostile, not modest. Most of all....I am cautious.
