On Starting this Blog–

I started this blog on a whim. I really had no idea people would actually want to come and read what I thought.

Because my Barbie has such beautiful things. Then when I was 12 yrs old, I was crazy about painting and wanted to be a Painter. At 13 it was an astronaut, at 15 it was a teacher, at 16 it was a doctor and at 18 well I just wanted to be left the hell alone!!

The point to all this is, we are constantly asked by everyone around-What do you want to be when you grow up??? Continue reading “The Decision To Be You” →
