I Have a Soul in Some Notebooks + My Mother Named Me An Adjective, Pt II; Name Fulfilled

Some people have jewels in safe deposit boxes. I have a soul in some notebooks.

My Mother Named Me an Adjective (part I)

I was a Tami.  A Tami with a Serene tucked carefully just below the surface. Hiding. Waiting to come out.

I was not always called Serene

I was not always called Serene, although it is my legal name. For the first five years of my life I was Tami. This is the name I first heard myself called; it is the name I first learned to write.
