I have never been good at accepting things that I feel are forced on me. And that was never more clear than when my father’s cancer clearly became a death sentence. He had endured multiple diagnoses of various cancers and was simply worn out. A decade of fighting had taken its toll. But he had reached what I believe was his final responsibility in this world.

For the first time in who knows how many years, I have made a New Year’s resolution. I have decided to embrace who I really am. In 2022, I am going to be turning 45. I figure now is a good time as any to come to accept me… the REAL me! Not the person who others may want me to be. Here is who I am… I am not prim and proper. I was…
