Thanks Everyone! You should always be proud of who you are.
Rose, I was always told there is some Native American blood from my mothers side. She was 1/2 Italian and allegedly French-Canadian and Huron Native American. There is no-one left on her side to confirm so only a DNA test will tell. My father's brother recently had one done and we are apparently a smidge Somalian also...! Thank you for noticing! Ultimately, it's not what 's in us that makes us. It's what we put forth.

Hi Lisa. I thought you looked a bit Native American'ish! but hey, thank god those, over-sexed over here yankee doodle dandlers WERE over here just when we needed them to prevent Adolf from kicking our butts.
A lot of anti-Amercan thinkers need to remember that.
Enjoyed the read mucho

It's nice to see others coming out and identifying themselves in their work. Not always easy on an open stage with an audience of strangers......

Hey Lisa! I just read this! You honor me greatly! I'm so touched! And congratulations, for a lovely text and a touching story. I respect and admire you and your family deeply. I understand the frustration as well as the beauty that comes with duality such as being bilingual or an immigrant. Land of the free, eh? Sounds good! Maybe some day I'll visit!
Many many thanks for mentionning me. All my love from the land of humid swelters!
I'm so so touched and if I may, you perform very well in prose! Keep it up! You are an excellent artist!
Thank you again ?
Mae
