Dear Patricia...

Starting my journal I knew it would awaken things in me that I would have to deal with. Emotions that were deeply embedded that caused me to have patterns that were sometimes destructive. But I also knew it needed to be done...It was time to release the pain..

So I begin because I believe that eventually all obstacles must be faced...dealt with and conquered...

Dear Patricia,

This was the name you heard when you did something wrong or something "bad"...when you heard it called you knew you were in trouble!

TROUBLE...

You were not in trouble...you needed help...you needed love...you needed guidance...You needed much more than you were ever given...So I am here.to reclaim my name: PATRICIA...I reclaim ME...

This is my truth...

I begin again...
