CHAPTER ONE
Beginnings

When I was a little girl, my mother had a book that fascinated me. Bound in brown alligator skin with gold edging on the pages, it had the word Diary embossed in gold on the cover. There was a leather flap from the back cover to the front that kept the book secured shut with a shiny gold lock. My mother never locked her diary, however, for she never wrote in it. There were no secrets inside, only a tiny gold key in a little paper envelope. There were no words written on its neatly lined pages.

I loved that little empty diary, and enjoyed thumbing through its blank pages. Maybe it was its antique appearance that appealed to methe bumpy leather binding, the richness of the gold edged pages, the shininess of the miniature lock and key. The book was so fancy that I couldn't imagine anyone actually writing in it. Also, there was something wonderful and mysterious about the blankness of the book: It was full of possibilities.

Then one day I was given a diary of my own. It wasn't as fancy as my mother's (it had a royal blue imitation leather cover), so I felt OK about writing in it. It was like my mom's in every other way, though, right down to the flap, the gold lock and key, and the word Diary in gold on the cover. I was delighted with it.

At first, it was fun. Faithfully, I made an entry each day. Dear Diary, Today I... and then ...happened. And so it went. But after a while, I felt cramped by the small space provided for each day's entry. So much more to say, so little room to say it. Then, after a while, I grew bored with chronicling events and gradually stopped making entries in my dear diary altogether.

However, I didn't stop writing. At school, I wrote well and with great enthusiasm. My teachers were pleased and encouraged me. More importantly, I continued writing for myself. Every now and then I would pick up a steno pad that I kept in my closet and write about something important to me: my teacher at art school, the painters I admired, my own painting, and my feelings about art. I loved doing this kind of personal writing so much, I'm surprised I didn't do it more often.

At fifteen, I won second prize in our local newspaper's essay contest on the theme of future career. I wrote about wanting to become a journalist. We had to collect our prizes at the local variety store and, while I was waiting in line, a little blank book in the stationery department caught my eye. It was a black and red hardbound ledger-type book with the word Record neatly embossed in gold on the cover. The pages were blank except for the lines. I reasoned that because I was going to be a journalist, I'd need a very special notebook in which to write. I thought, I might even write a book someday. So I bought it.

But I put the book away and promptly forgot about it and about becoming a journalist. Painting became my great love. Upon graduating from high school, I went to college as an art major and English minor. After becoming a professional artist, marriage followed, then the birth of two daughters. A career change came next, which led to teaching young children and supervising Head Start programs in the inner city of Los Angeles. The years passed.
