Heidi Karen Heather
In my current healing journey another Part of me changed on October 3, 2024.
This Part is more noticeable than what is taking place internally; it’s my name. I really like my first name, Heidi, and my initials, HKH. That made my decision even easier to keep them as they are and let go of what no longer serves me. By changing my middle name and last name to honor my sisters symbolizes the thread that connects us. More importantly it is a symbol of taking back my power and a step further in setting me free from my trauma-filled past. So as of October 3, 2024, my new, officially approved, and supported name by the Courts is Heidi Karen Heather.
P.S. and if you call me ‘Heather’, no worries, as I have already been called ‘Heather’ from time to time. Now it’s just official.
