It all started on a Wednesday afternoon in 1971. I was born. I was quite the
I was raised in the delta region of Arkansas. My family grew soybeans, rice and
cotton. Most of the toys my sister and shared were
organic.
I did an awful mean
John Denver impersonation. I enjoyed being on the
farm.
As I grew older, I loved being
center stage. And I was quite the
fashionista. My mom eventually quit taking pictures and made me the family
photographer.
Then came the dark years. My late teens and early twenties. I self-medicated myself to memory block. During this time, my dad had an emergency quadruple-bypass heart surgery. My mother died of a brain tumor. I gained a lot of weight, enjoyed too many classes of alcohol...and had a very horrible hangnail.
Over the last few years I lost a dramatic amount of
weight, found
unconditional love and started taking my happy pills.
