Complex as life gets there are always lessons to be learned, mostly these lessons are learned through heart break, love, parents, environment, and most importantly choices we make. Here are some short stories straight from MY book of life along with the lessons that I took from it. In this book you will find true stories of my life from ages nine to 34 (My present age). Be prepared to go through stories of drunken times, gun fights, tearful confessions, friendships, motherhood, lesbian pride, depression, and sex. Hopefully it helps one of you through a similar experience, gives you a great laugh or a good cry.
