About

M.E. Picher, PHD

The irony isn’t lost on me that a blog about the self is being written by a woman who goes by the name, M.E., me. This is my nickname, given to me at birth by my father’s father. M.E. is pronounced like the awards show and stands for Mary Elizabeth. Nobody calls me Mary Elizabeth except for my father. I’m the only girl in a family of five, so when it came time to name me both of my parents wanted their say. Mary comes from my dad’s side of the family and Elizabeth comes from my mom’s side. This is a picture of me as a child. Looking into her eyes reminds me to be kind to my SELF. After all, she is still me. add another page.
