The Blessed RealtorThe Blessed Blogger.  After several years of using the pen name; The Naked Blogger, I wanted to change my pen name to something that would bring me joy, and perhaps better reflect my happy and blessed soul.

What's the inspiration behind the name?  Very simply, I've been blessed with a loving family, wonderful friends, and the best career a gal could ever want.  Sure, I've had struggles like everyone, but I've tried to make a conscious effort to see the positive in every situation. 

I've been blessed with some wise mentors too!  Here are some of my favorite quotes from some of my favorite peeps who have left an indelible mark on my soul.

Those that are the hardest to love, need love the mostMom (1971)

What would Jesus do? - Jean Turkish (1974)

You're a champion - Dad (1979)

Major on the majors, minor on the minors - Dave Ludwig (1986)

You can do it kid!Don Rist (2000)

Show up like a grown-upDr. Robin Smith (2006)

When people reveal themselves to you, believe them the first time - Maya Angelou (2011)

I remember when the Naked Blogger came into being. I wish her well and welcome with open arms the Blessed Blogger. And the first and last quotes are two of my favorites. Hugs to you, my blessed friend.

Hi Mel,
The world would be a better place by far if we all took your Mom's advice to heart, wouldn't it?

I too like the new name, it does suit you. And yes, as Michael Jacobs hinted at, we tend to adapt and grow into life as our roles become refined and redefined.
