I may not be an expert on the subject of change, but after 45 moves before I graduated from high school, I’ve learned to be proficient at it. Looking back, this was everyday life for me. However, when I share this fact with others, I am met with disbelief, followed by surprise, and then sympathy. As I share my stories, pictures, and experiences throughout my transient years, I hope to inspire others to approach change with optimism, resiliency, and perseverance.
Hello! My name is Julie Spirk Folkerts – Mother of Two, Breast Cancer Survivor, and Budding Author. Telling others about my unique childhood experiences has made me want to share them with the world. With the encouragement of family and friends, I am currently completing my memoir entitled “Map of Goodbyes.” The book takes you through my life, focusing on the adventures and turmoil arising from all the changes and how I learned to adapt and overcome the obstacles that change put in front of me. Follow me on this journey to find the good in Goodbye!
