I've dreamed of this moment as a fledgling writer...the moment I created my very own blog. It's a portal, straight into my very own thoughts, of which I have many, every day. (You'll see.) And now the day has arrived, not because I finally placed it at the top of my "Do It Or Die" list, but because I wanted to enter a contest. A writer's contest. But, see, to enter the contest, I had to provide a link to my very own blog.
So here we are...now I have my very own blog BUT all of my creative juices for the day have been used up, before I even write my very first entry. You see, one of the first things the fine people at blogger.com asked me to do tonight was to*name* my very own blog.
I will give you a tiny view into my very own brain as I recount the process of creating the name for this blog. Now, I really like alliteration. So, I thought, why not alliterate the name of my blog? I tried "Musings of a Messy Mom" (but really, I've started to become quite organized so that didn't work). Then I tried "Whispers in the Wind" (but I'm not really quiet and hardly ever whisper), "Dabblings in the Dark" (but that sounded pornographic, for some reason), and "Waiting for Wisdom" (but I'm no dummy). I decided to do away with all that alliteration and moved on instead to the more clever titles.
I think I'm a pretty sweet person, so I thought about "With Sugar On Top." Yeah, I nearly choked on that too. And then...it struck me! I am in the process of redesigning my life, so why not "Trina's Life Redesigned?" But no...that sounded too much like HGTV (which I love, love, love, by the way, but which doesn't make for good blog-naming). I came up with several LAME names, like "The Mom Diaries," "The Writer's Apprentice," and even "We All Have a Story and Here's Mine." No comments necessary.
Finally, I went back to alliteration. I wrote on my page "Please Pass The...." Then I made a list of words that begin with P. Patience, Popcorn, Peace, Poptarts, Pride, Progress, Paddle, Pail, and Parachute. I googled "words that begin with P." My search led to a website that explains dream elements that begin with P. Eureka!!! There it was! As soon as I read the significance of dreaming about pancakes (which I've actually done, I'll have you know) I knew that was it.
So....don't say I didn't try to warn you. My thoughts get a little crazy at times, but they are usually fun and often entertaining. Some of my posts from here on out might be a tad more serious and, hopefully, most will have much more meaning than this. Above all, I hope that my writing will reach into your heart and bring a ray of hope, a smile, or a tear, for it's the sharing of our hearts that makes us human, after all. Thanks for reading, have a great day, and please pass the pancakes. :)
