Why? Oh Why? Would I want to start a blog? Well, the reason goes way back to my childhood. My name has always been long, hard to spell and when it was accompanied with my maiden name it was a true tongue twister! When I first became aware of my name's spelling, I was about 8. It was a sad time really, the the first Christmas after my Dad died. But it was Christmas so Happy I was! Santa brought gifts for us all. My sibling and I got Bibles with leather covers with our names in a blaze of gold on the cover. How wonderful to have something so personal from Santa! But when I looked down at my name it was spelled "Charlet". So did Santa know something I didn't? Had I been spelling my name wrong all my life? The curious question of my name and its spelling came into my life that Christmas and has been my companion every since. I have never been angry at the miss-spellers of my name just curious! Because what's in a spelling of my name is me, my personal identity. Charlotte I am and always will be, along with the various misspellings I shall share with you along the way.
