Why did I use blue lotus as a blog name?
I was looking for a name that symbolized the holistic nature of wellness. The lotus flower is considered sacred in many religions and cultures. The roots of a lotus flower are in the mud and the stem grows up through the water so the blossom is above the water's surface. To me, the lotus flower epitomizes the beauty and perfection and promise within each of us. I also believe that true wellness comes from within - when we realize and embrace this.
Why the blue lotus?
Truth be told, I just like the color blue.
Way to follow your heart on the name, E. Can't wait to read your thoughts on your wellness journey.
