Becoming ...

I am a seamstress.  a mother.  a writer.  a baker.  a knitter.  a sister, a daughter, niece, a cousin, a friend. 

I am passionate.  opinionated.  creative.  rational.  independent.  natural.  slightly more traditional than average.

I am Italian.  Scotch-Irish.  brunette, brown eyes.  short.  thin. 

and now I am finding myself, after a long and winding and bumpy road, heading a very traditional Romanian family. 

I do not speak the language.  I do not know the foods and customs.  I am learning.  and this is my journey.
