New, Purposeful Name

Welcome to A Better Blog!

As I've networked and met many people, I've obtained the nickname "BThrog." My last name (eh em, married name, not my simple maiden name) is kind of a booger. It's not hard to pronounce, but people tend to get bogged down in all the letters, I guess. Throgmorton. It sounds funny at first and then you get used to it- at least I did.

While I had the goal of reserving a domain name, I knew I didn't want the blog to be called "BThrog's blog" for long. Not everyone knows BThrog. Not to mention, while I draw from personal experiences, I don't want this blog to be just about me. My goal is to have a community of readers who look for refreshing stories, often with a purpose behind them.

Because I tend to talk about many topics, not easily categorizing my blog into anything other than "lifestyle," I had to think of a name that could encompass the ambiguity (until I truly find my niche). When it came down to it, I realized that in order for me to give a description of the purpose of it all, I concluded that I write this to simply be better. I write to be able to let go. I also write to connect. And finally, I write about things that I feel improve my day-to-day. Whether I'm sharing a healthy meal, a workout, another inspirational blog, a story from which a valuable lesson was learned, or a challenge I've set for myself. I always want to be moving forward, thus, always bettering myself.

If you choose to learn from each decision you make, can you really ever make a bad one? Within that process, you come out a better person.

Now that I've put it out there, with the domain name to officially change in the next 1-48 hours, I do hope to fulfill my goal with my writing.

Until soon.
