The Book of Me

The Book of Me, Written by You is a blog

 prompt originated by Julie at Anglers Rest

and encouraged by Geneabloggers.

The prompt for week 1: Ask yourself 20 times “Who are you?” Each time you should give yourself a different answer, and if you can easily go beyond 20 entries then that is fine too. This prompt is about how YOU see YOU. Give it a try and check in with Julie for more prompts.
