My middle name is starting to grow on me. It is quite unique and even ethereal..."Maria de los angeles" which literally means "Maria of the angels." No, it doesn't mean I'm from LA. It just means I'm different. Complicated. Not easy to say. But for years I hid in shame that my name was so ethnic and in this constantly morphing world of immigrants and exotic cultures, I finally have accepted my full name. Here it goes:
Jeannette Maria de los angeles Alfaro Herrera Incera Vargas.
Whew! I'm not even including my ex husband's (Peterson) which I changed to Hershberger, my husband's last name. I guess my name sort of reflects the many lives I've led and that's okay. Oh-kay.
Okay?
