My mother didn't buy into this at all and insisted that I could do anything I wanted to do in life. I never wanted anything more than to become a writer. My father had his reservations, but supported me in everything I tried.

Well, being the tomboy who was raised on a ranch, I challenged him. I bet him I could change a tire just as easily as a guy, and he said if I did, he'd write an Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-28912077669213351002014-07-14T21:37:24.307-05:002014-07-14T21:37:24.307-05:00Great post, Tracy!

That life out here was too tough for them. Then we were supposed to write a freestyle paper.

I bless my mother and father for allowing me to be who I am without labels and reminding me who I was when I doubted myself. I know they made sure I knew about the history of my family and who it was a partnership that made the family what it became. <br />DorisRenaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045401344374224512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-57311666910753076252014-07-14T08:55:00.553-05:002014-07-14T08:55:00.553-05:00Excellent post, Tracy!

But that's pretty much been the way it's always been through history. I would love to learn about Henrietta Chamberlain. She's a fascinating, strong woman. I love how she chose exactly opposite of what was expected of her. Way to Linda Brodayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357448132994020848noreply@blogger.com
