It was when I was in high school. My best friend and I love the singer Jewel. Well her little sister is just remarkable for remembering names. She had met me a few times and when I went back after a couple of weeks my friend asked her if she remembered my name and she said Spirit.. We just kind of laughed and said okay. Well Jewels cd that came out just a couple of weeks later was titled spirit. It has been a nickname for me and I even have it tattooed on me...
