My wings are spread and I will fly

Well, I am 51 and it is time for me to fly. But now that I am old enough to fly, I want to change my name. Marci is my legal name but, strange person that I am, I want to be known (at least in artistic circles (written and arty) as Marcella Isabella. For some people (family) this will be very strange. But for me it is a rising of the old me into a new and better me. Leaving behind the old labels, either put on by others, life or whatever. I am meeting new people this year who are changing my life. I freely and gratefully acknowledge the hand of God in my life at this time. I thank him for his patience with me, a daughter who is a trial a lot of times to any one who knows her and loves her. But mostly to myself. I love you and am grateful I am you. You are beautiful, strong, courageous, a fighter and a lover. A fighter for those who are the underdog and a lover of all that is good, praiseworthy and of good report. I am one of those. Thanks Marci and goodbye Hello Marcella it is your time to fly.
