I survived colon cancer. Before that I was an English teacher. Now, I want to figure out exactly what I am.

If you want to follow my daily struggle with Becoming, you can check out my LiveJournal. Look for Monalinda and the cutest dogillio in the whole world.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is for all the children of the world to join hands...

No, scratch that. What I really want is something small and pretty and made of something precious, but not too precious. A tiny skein of yarn made from silk and angora. A little tube of beads made from amber or jade, and I do mean little. Jewelry is not necessary, nor is anything terribly pricey. Just something small and odd and interesting.

You know me, Santa. I can be happy with just about anything.

Love,

Hyphenated
