Allow me to introduce myself...

My name is Miriam Faulknor (Pronounced, Meer-E-um Fall-k-nur). I learned from this week’s lesson that your name is your own, pronounced the way you intend to be identified. I knew that I wasn’t just imagining it, but allowing people to mispronounce your name is just like referring to you as someone else. Your name is a brand and it is unique just like yourself. There is loyalty to a name, reputation in a name and of course identity to distinguish you from others. There is a story behind it no matter how simple or elaborate the story is. This is your story and it is who you are just like your name is who you are.
