Michelle spends a long time telling us about her early childhood. I questioned ‘parts’ of this for awhile - I wasn’t sure why I needed to know sooooo many details. Look, I'm not a happy crier. I might cry at songs about leaving and missing someone; I might cry at books where things don't work out; I might cry at movies where someone dies.

When Michelle hit her teenage years, I was a little envious. I wanted to be girlfriends with her. I liked her. Hanging out at her house after school - meeting her mom and those gracious sandwiches her mom prepared for Michelle and her girlfriends was just cozy wonderful. I was reminded how much I loved my close friends - Renee, Lisi, and Barbara. Great girlfriends during the teen years makes life so much more tolerable and ‘fun’. I am not even American LOL but I’d still vote for Michelle at pretty much anything to be completely honest.She is a serial entrepreneur who has built multiple business in the last decade including a makeup school with her sister, an online sales business in the wellness space and her newest adventure in Mushroom elixirs (you NEED to try this one!)

There might be someone who sees my story and understands it and might be going through something similar. That’s why I am so open about my story.

My mother’s perspective changed a lot from watching my journey unfold under her own roof. She saw my life, and all that I was doing with it. Up until then, she feared I would not be accepted by the world. She didn’t want me to be hated or ostracized. We may not even realize that we’ve been holding these belief systems for so long as they’ve become habitual thoughts and patterns. There was much to enjoy about this book, much to think about, and much to savor. And, at least for me, much to reminisce about.

Reading Michelle Obama's new memoir, Becoming, reminded me of those times. It also reminded me just what a fan I've been of hers since watching her and her daughters when President Obama declared his candidacy for the White House almost 12 years ago, since hearing her speak at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
