The last few days on social  media, people have been posting the three fictional characters that would make up themselves. I didn’t put a crazy amount of thought into it – but here were the first names that came to me.

Dorothy – because I’ve always been a searcher, a seeker. I love my dog. And I would love to be able to come up with a song as beautiful as Over the Rainbow off the top of my head when the authorities tell me something I’d rather not hear.

Samantha from Bewitched – because I’m pretty good at manifesting things with my mind (though not with a twitch of my lips) and I tell my husband when he asks me to do something, I’ll do it the way he asked me – then I do it my way. I suppose I could have put Frank Sinatra here – but he’s not a fictional character now, is he?

Leslie Knope – I’m an optimist. I’m a pretty great friend. I think government should help. I’m also unwilling to let it go or surrender anything. And “If I had to have a stripper’s name, it would be Equality.’
