I love the fact that you are now on Medium and writing articles that are uplifting and inspiring. I also saw your Netflix documentary and have great respect for what you've accomplished and for your honesty, even about the things in your life that you are not proud of.

I also want to share a small anecdote. I am an American living outside Munich, Germany, and as you know, the name "Arnold" can be spelled with a "t" at the end. Also, I used to make regular phone calls to Spain for my job and had a hard time getting my name across to Spaniards.

I developed a fun way of doing this: "Brenda" is easily pronouncable and understood in Spanish. I then would say "Arnold, as in Schwarzenegger" and they would always laugh - and spell my name right.
