This is a collection of pieces that I have written over the years. Many events have great impact on the person we become. These are my thoughts, feelings and experiences that have made me the woman I am now. As women, we have many roles and sometimes we are lost and we must at some time reclaim ourselves. This is about reclaiming me. Volume 1 - the roots...beginnings...evolution is about my early life and the impact of family dynamics deeply affected me and gave me insight into the whys and the hows and the climb out of the past. It is "one woman's journey" but I know there are many others that have take similar journeys...namaste
