The name, that is, not my blog.
I named this blog the blue lotus because I wanted a name that symbolized the holistic nature of wellness. To me, the lotus flower represents that concept perfectly.
That being said, I am leaving my current position at the end of April so that I can focus on my Reiki practice and photography, but I don't intend to use "the blue lotus" as my business name. (Truth be told, I am saving that name, for a future use.) I plan to do business as myself.
Since I am rather fond of my current blogs, and don't want to abandon them just yet, I am slowly turning them into a "website" of sorts, which means that it is time for "the blue lotus" name to disappear.
It is a beautiful name, so I thought it deserved a proper good-bye.
Good-bye, dear name. Enjoy your rest.









It's a gorgeous name, and I look forward to seeing what wonderful purpose it has [if you plan to share that with us]. If you need any help with the design, I know a little about code [HTML, Java, C++) so feel free to ask me.
I look forward to seeing how your journey on this blog shifts.

@Rose: My dream is to have a holistic wellness center someday - and I'd like to use the name there.
Thanks for the offer for design help! I need to create a single web page for another domain, but I think I have decided to outsource the task. I know a little about code myself, but I feel like it would take more time than I want to spend right now .. :)

It's nice to see that we're now getting so close to the day you'll be able to fully focus on your Thing! Yay!
You bringing a holistic wellness center named The Blue Lotus in the world would be a wonderful thing! I'm sure it'll come in its time.

oh interesting! I was just "catching up" on your blog as was thinking to myself "I thought it was called something else..." and then found this post. :)
