I am a wife. A daughter. A sister. A friend. I am a godmother. A writer. A wannabe chef. A collector of picture frames. I am struggling with weight loss, writer's block, and PMS. I drink coffee, and wine, and even an occasional beer. I love books, good movies, bad TV. 

I am a soul. Single. Solitary. Unique.

I am so much more than the sum of my parts.

I am me. Not what the world labels me to be.
