ABSTRACT
Giving birth to my daughter in May of 1995 inspired me to wonder what I believed my life could become. After some in-depth soul searching I realized I was extremely attracted to women. This is not to say that I hadn’t been in love with my daughter’s father. I just knew that being with him was not right for me. I realized that if there was one thing I wanted to teach my daughter it was that you are responsible for your own happiness. Additionally, that no one should look to someone else to complete him or her or to make him or her happy. At the end of the day I had to discover what made me feel happy with myself to set a good example.
