Capital Letters

I hate being called "Deborah", it makes my skin crawl! Deborah is the name of someone I used to be. I also hate being called "Deb's" like I'm plural. For the longest time when I told someone my name I used to call my self "Debbie" but I actually hate that too. I'm not her any more either. I like being Deb. I love it when people call me Deb. It's short and to the point and I feel comfortable with that. For the last few months I've been consciously trying to tell people that's what to call me. After all, hearing your own name is supposed to be good for you, so why not hear a name you like!

But I usually sign myself with a small d, not a capital D. deb not Deb. I think it's time to change that too. I am actually a real person, a proper noun, I'm Deb. Be afraid, be very afraid - just kidding!

Anyway this is a bit challenging for me, so that's why I'm committing myself to it. From now on I'm Deb with a Capital D. Thanks very much.

Deb :)
