Self-Portrait: Shirleyanne Ratajczak
Multi-dimensional Thinker, Shrew, Control Freak, Overbearing Mother, are just a few titles assigned to me over the years. Recently a Psychiatrist Evaluation and a Neuropsychological Report identifies me with untreated, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, combined type, Reading and Learning Problems, Dysraxia, with Stress, Anxiety, and Depression. I have called myself an Artist in defense of my shortcomings, where my different behaviors, often seem, but not always, excused. All these titles can be recycled, mixed into a compost pile which I call, Flinging Rotten Organic Tomatoes. Let us see what grows.
