I AM...

Yesterday I was surfin' some Blogs, and read this cool little meme on Rochelle's Blog at http://www.rritchiespencer.com/ (Getting There), 

who had gotten the idea from Caroline at

http://whimsywispers.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-am.html (Constantly Evolving), 

who borrowed it from September Mom at

http://myvoicemyview.blogspot.com/, 

who collected it from Kitten at

http://thebookkitten.blogspot.com/, 

who found it from the originator, Emalee at 

http://ekrausch.blogspot.com/ (I Am Me)

I enjoyed peeling back the layers 

of each woman's interpretation of the meme,

curious to find

the original impetus.
