Hello, Friends! I hope your weekend was ever-so-lovely. This summer sure has been hard to beat, and this past weekend was icing on the cake. The days have been hot, the night air cool.. Josh & I couldn’t resist one of our favorite summertime traditions – a “slumber party” on our back porch. We look forward to this every year!
Oh by the way, in case you didn’t notice, the name of this blog has changed to “Inspire, to breathe”. I’ve been considering new names for a while now and few things have stuck out as fitting for this blog. The more I thought about this one, the more I liked it, because:
-
I like to post about things that are inspiring, and to give us a moment to take a break, to breathe.
-
I also post about my health – the reason this blog even started, right? – so it makes sense that I am “inspired to breathe” .. Cheesy, yes, but it’s still one way to read the title.
-
To inspire means to breathe in, so it could even be read as a definition.
So there’s a little insight into the name switch. As the tagline says, I still plan on keeping most of my posts related to these three categories:
-
Home – Home/garden stuff, things around the house including more on my love for vintage.
-
Life – This is not a diary, but of course some things can’t be left out! My health is an obvious mention here.
-
Pretty Things – I don’t know about you, but I love looking at pretty things! It adjusts my view of life to look at the beauty around me – even in the small stuff. We have a creative Creator, & there’s always something new to appreciate.
The question is, what topics would you like to see more of? Is there something you wish I would spend more time on? Anything you’re sick of? Lay it on me!
Lastly.. Thanks for reading. I’m not sure what draws each of you to this little blog but I so appreciate you! It’s been a really fun community to be a part of, and one that brought me through a very difficult time.
Thanks for being there, Friends!

Your cat is adorable. What is his/her name?
Suzanne said:
Aww! Thanks! I think so too. Talking about her name always leaves me feeling ridiculous.. But her name is Alan Trammell. (It’s the name of a Detroit Tiger’s player from the 90’s) We had a joke that our first pet would have that name.. And we joked about it enough that when we got her we felt like we should do it. Even more ridiculous, we usually call her “Bea”. Not sure where the connection is. Her vet has no possible way of understanding this, by the way.

I think it’s pretty common for pet nicknames to bear little resemblance to pet real names. :-p
Suzanne said:
Haha, you’re probably right. I guess the same can be true for kids too. Unless I was really a “bean” and my brother was a “buzzard”.

I am not subscribed to your blog via Google Reader! I love your template too, it’s cool to see the many ways to use this one (I have it too!). Thank you for your last comment on my blog, the one about my dad’s anniversary of being diagnosed with cancer. I remember reading your blog before after you commented previously. Looking forward to your future posts!

Hi, Sam!
Yes, I’m loving this template. Shoulda done it a long time ago. I’m still learning all this stuff! 🙂
