NOT AI generated - all from my soul, memory, heart and healing journey)

In my 128 Blogs and 128 Podcasts I use pseudo names and sometimes the profession of whom I am speaking or writing about.  By doing so I hope to offer some  anonymity for the innocent, the unknowing and the unwilling. The friends and family members of my abusers should not carry shame or blame.  

“When can I change my name?”  My attorney responded “at your final divorce hearing, Tiffany. The State of Georgia gives you one free name change and you can pick whatever you like.” At that time I joked and said “Cinnamon Girl?” I had just heard Neil Young sing it on the radio and it was a favorite of my dad’s, Frank. We both laughed and once again my attorney said “if that is what you want, then Cinnamon Girl it can be.”  It would be about 18 months later I would stand in a courtroom and would get to choose my new name. I knew it would be something different than the last 27 years and by doing so, all my students that had known me, all the friends that I had gained, all my colleagues and associations, family members and my three sons would have to forget the old me and accept the new me.  Would a Tiffany by any other name still be a Tiffany?
