Name Change

So after much agonizing, I have decided to change the name of the blog. My perfectionist tendencies are overwhelming at times, and after spending what seemed like hours creating "The Color of My Life", a new title came to me, not from a literary giant such as Virginia Woolf, but from none other than the country music giant Kenny Chesney.
Those of you that know me well, know all about my affection for Kenny. Those of you that have been to a concert with me know how serious I am about my love for him. A few days ago I was doing one of my favorite things: cooking, listening to Kenny Chesney, and singing to Vivie while she was in sitting in her bumbo. His song Don't Blink started and I was thinking about all the things I have mused over in my blog recently. Suddenly that seemed like the perfect title for what I am attempting to capture through all of this emotional expression.

I asked Shane for his opinion and he thought it was a better title since it was a better definition of the whole purpose of the blog. I don't think Shane is a huge Virginia Woolf fan anyway, therefore he was not too attached to the original title. :)
So after thinking about it for a few days and spending way too much energy over something that is not really that big of a deal, I decided that I am going to change the title to Don't Blink. That mantra is one of my goals in life, especially now. As I have mentioned in previous blogs, after the birth of Vivie my perspective has shifted now to the little things and basking in her sunshine. So with that being said, each day is dedicated to watching her grow and flourish. I know it's going to be difficult not to get caught up in work, bills, exhaustion, etc. but I am going to try. I already feel like I blinked and she is now almost sitting up, getting ready for baby food, and holding her own bottle. Granted those first few months were filled with sleepless nights and a tired I had never experienced before. So for now my goal for each day is to just let my heart fill up with the joy of Shane and Vivie, and understand that this is an amazingly wonderful day, just because I have the two of them to share my life with.
I hope you will enjoy reading Don't Blink, and it will offer anyone who chooses to read it some inspiration to spread some love, happiness, excitement, laughter, and blessings.
