Thank you for inspiring me to write a Where I'm From poem, Debra. So many memories of childhood, parents and old friends surfaced while writing my poem, I have lots of new ideas for stories now thanks to you. 🙂

I've read many other Where I'm From poems now and they've given me a vivid glimpse into other lives and cultures. Though we may consider our lives ordinary, to others they are so different and interesting. I encourage others reading this to have a go.
