Choosing a name for anything is so very personal, whether for a child, a business, a pet, and last year for me, a blog. When my friend and I were starting a cleaning business, seems like a lifetime ago, we worried over the name more than anything in the beginning. We tried following a couple “rules” for choosing it. The one that sticks out the most was to find a name that’s first letter was in the beginning to middle of the alphabet. The reasoning behind this was that people stopped scrolling the phone book after too long. Yep, it was that far back in time! Obviously that isn’t an issue any longer. But still finding the right name is important.
The name tells people what you are about, what is your ‘brand’, your niche, as is the buzz word lately. I really struggled with it for my blog. I was trying to have a name that represented who I am now. I wanted to reach women in this stage of life, as well as those who are past it and following behind. I think as women we have so much that we can share. No matter what, I am always gonna be Momma. That has been my focus since our children born. It was what Danny and I poured our hearts into. So it for sure had to be centered around that.
I chose ‘Momma’s Second Act’ because that is what this is. Maybe if broken down even more it could be a third or fourth, but the way I see it, it is second. Everything before was Act I. Finding the love of my life, establishing a wonderful career, having our precious children and moving to the country. Raising them to be well rounded, independent, good humans. Check, check and check. Now what?
Now its time for the Second Act. Watching my children succeed in their marriages, raising their beautiful families. Getting to be part of all they are doing. It’s not easy learning my roll in this one, stepping back and letting go. I’m working on it. I also still have a lot to learn about this blogging life. I’m working on that too. Consistency, for one, is going to be at the top of the list. I also want to hear from ya’ll! You can reach me at [email protected]. Don’t be strangers! Much Love, Jenni
