Daughter, student, friend, wife, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, volunteer, accounting office manager, teacher, mother, salesperson, tutor, mother-in-law, and grandmother are the seasons of my life.

Writer is present in all of the seasons in varying capacities.

The focus of International Being You Day on May 22 empowers us to follow dreams, not fit into labels.

Our happiness does not come from comparisons or judgments. We all have our unique selves to enrich the world together.

Have you ever thought about your life not in years and labels, but rather as four seasons?

Let me share my life that way with you.

In my spring,

my birth held the promise of every possibility.

Growing as a child writing was there in the beautiful diary with a key to lock out others from reading my most intimate thoughts.
