I’ve had an ongoing situation with my MIL, who for years refused to acknowledge my last name. She thinks that when you marry you HAVE to take your husband’s name, that it’s a moral duty to do so, because you become part of his family. She wanted me to call her Mum, but I wasn’t comfortable with that idea, even though she is a perfectly lovely lady. Anyway, I dreaded getting mail from her addressed to Mrs -, because that is not who I am, and it felt as though she was refusing to acknowledge “me”. This past birthday she sent me a card and gift addressed to “me” and it felt so good. I don’t know why this mattered so much, but it did. I was given this name when I was born, and I like it. It represents who I am to the world. If only I wasn’t so paranoid about privacy issues and could stand up and shout it out, via the internet. Don’t you ever worry that your work colleagues, neighbours, or prospective employers might google you and find out stuff about you that you’d rather they didn’t know?

Shows you how much attention I am paying, I am only just getting the concept of your “feathers!” Brilliant! What a fabulous idea and way to create and inspire and grow. I look forward to more feathers Kxo

I love it! WOW!

You must go listen to Meg Hutchinson’s “Whole Bird.” Here’s a not-great you-tube link (bar background noise) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNleVr9PsBk
