Your last name has been through a lot before it got to you. Add a chapter worth reading.

A family name shows up already carrying work, moves, losses and decisions made long before anybody asked you. Some of what comes with it is good and some of it you would not have chosen. Either way you are the current chapter, and a chapter is allowed to go a different direction than the one before it.

Find out one real thing this month about where your name came from, from a relative or a record. Then decide what you want it to mean around here. Both halves matter, and the second one is yours.
