Who Am I?

I am a Writer, Playwright, Preservationist, Speaker and a Mother. When I was three my Mother took me out the porch to the willow tree. She reached into her apron and pulled out her pocket mirror. She held it up, real close to the tip of my nose and said, “Honeygirl, repeat after me, IAMRARE.”

She had me look real close at my eyes, ears, mouth, hair while she explained that there is no one, nor will there ever be ANYONE as rare as me. God only made one of me. Well this you see was the most inspiring thing I had ever heard…in my whole life. Throughout my life I would cling to her apron and she would take out her mirror and remind me again “who I am”……

Time tested my answer and life took away my hair and even time to care….but through it all I went to her apron and repeated after her, “IAMRARE”….

Today I have my Mother’s mirrors…aprons….she is still here in my ear. Every time I log onto my new business plan I hear my Mother’s voice, when I see and say in my minds eye, IAMRAREpresents….

Sit, stay and read along as I record, restore and reverberate all the Rare People, Places and Voices who have put the whistle in my step while inspiring you to remember that YOU ARE RARE!

Get your aprons on, grab a mirror and let’s “Get Our Crowns On!” It’s time to write, play, take care of, share our voice and be our bestest Rare Selves….

Who are YOU? Leave me a comment below or join us on Facebook or the Youtube! If you like me, love me, or just want to rave about my Rare dress, leave me a review of my Blog and I will post here, there and everywhere!

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Colleen

P.S. I am wearing my very first Nicole Miller Dress. It was the night I FINALLY became a Queen! Of course I wrote about this in a letter to my son…..
