A Name Change

I felt it was appropriate a couple of months ago to change the name of my blog. Here is the reason why............

You see back in April last year I was a bit lost.
It was nearly two years since my Mum passed away.
She played a huge part in my life, and the Autumn season was when she became unwell and a big part of my time was spent visiting her at home or the hospital from January to July.
So every year around April I feel that 'season' again.
When April of last year came I started thinking of what I can do to keep my mind busy.
My sister-in-law writes an amazing, encouraging blog and I love reading it, but most of all I love the archiving of memories and photos.
I used to enjoy scrapbooking but have felt rather uninspired and unenthusiastic about it over the passed few years and realise that the photos and memories we were making were being left in our own minds.
I saw blogging as a new way of preserving photos and memories.

And when it came to 'naming' my blog I was totally blank...........
I thought I would randomly choose a 3 word name by opening my bible on a random page and choosing the first word I read.
I did that 3 times and came up with Awake.....The...... Desert.

I was astounded at how meaningful that name was at that time in my life.  I truly was Awakening The Desert in me!!


Now however, my Desert is awake! and I have filled my life with different interests and a part time job!


So I feel it is appropriate to change the name as it is a reminder of a difficult time in my life that I have worked through and ready to move on.

I have decided to call it 'What memories are made of........'

Because that is what it's all about!!!




Ps. The domain is still 'awakethedesert' because it's not easy nabbing a different one :)
