hello world......

Christmas night 2009

i have always wanted to be a writer and with a life like mine there is more than enough material to write at least 3-4 novels, well at least novellas..... my life has it all...... love, hate, joy, violence, betrayal, laughter, drama, intrigue, spirituality, hypocrisy, confusion, chaos, peace........................ it has not been a boring life to say the least! The handful of people outside my family who know about us have often said this is worthy of being told but where to begin, what direction to start?????? I don't know so will just introduce myself (names changed to protect the innocent and the guilty of course) and take off from there and see where this adventure leads..........

Hello,
I am Imperfectly Priceless, aka Fallen Angel

My name today is not the name i was given at birth -- in fact, my name has been changed several times. It has been an adventure reinventing myself --- oh sure, at first it was all scary and overwhelming, this creating a new identity thing but after a time i decided that it wasn't going to do any good crying and feeling dramatic over a lost life/name/identity so since the only thing i could control was myself, i had better enjoy this one adventure here on this planet. i am nothing if not spiritual.......... i choose to serve The Creator, The Jesus Christ BUT don't call me religious or necessarily a christian.......... those words are quite negative and bring an image of a person who is more often than not a self-righteous, narrow-minded, bigoted, hypocrite who leans on laws and rules more than the law of LOVE.
i am also a very eclectic person; multi-ethnic, with a very multi-ethnic family; am a survivor, overcomer, a mami; to nutshell it -- i like to say i went from being mob wife to being a mistress, and my goal is to become a mrs---- okay, that sounds much better in my head than reading it back after being written down............... my kids range in age from grown, young married adults to barely out of babyhood but am definitely not as many as say the Duggers.
sounds like the end doesn't it? what do you want to know? what makes me different from most of the rest of the population????? well, other than being able to relate to most everyone???? i am a multi-ethnic person who looks white but am not and therefore don't really fit or belong in any one group; thought i was married for over 20 years but wasn't yet had to legally file for divorce due to legal loopholes and redtape; survived abuses of all kinds; if abuse from an outside source wasn't enough, punished myself with an eating disorder for most my life but am now in recovery (gosh, hate how that sounds, in recovery, pathetic sounding, yuck) if nothing else, this life of mine and my kids and that of my family is a testament to what following the Way of Love can overcome, survive, grow & even thrive from; the events are real, the pain has been, is, and am sure will be almost unsurvivably intense but then again so are the good time, the joys, the happy moments.....
Love will always find a way, It always triumphs in the end, we just have to yield to It and let ourselves be changed by It and allow the Love to live in and flow through us.........
guess that will have to suffice as my intro to the world --- Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad to me --- my writing adventure is my gift to myself
grace and peace :-)
