Wait… what? When I read blogs, I always wonder where they came up with the name. Monday, I mentioned Annie F. Down’s book Let’s All Be Brave kind of pushing me to start a blog. And it did.
But truthfully, this blog started months ago… except it was only in my head. Erin, a fellow English teacher {you know that one friend at work who keeps you sane?} introduced me to a fashion blog and I started binge reading. Not only did I begin reading Lauren Elizabeth’s daily posts, but I would sit down on my couch in the evenings, iPad in hand, and read back through days, weeks, months of her posts for hours at a time. {David ended up with Zaxbys for dinner a few times.} I remember telling Erin at work one morning, “I just want to be Lauren Elizabeth.” But what I actually meant was that I wanted to have a fashion blog… because I’m so happy with where things are in my life. So why not add a fashion blog to it?
The feathers part of the name was inspired from Psalm 91:4 which says, “He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”
For whatever reason, that verse stuck with me. {Not really for whatever reason. I know it was a God-thing.} I always want to be covered with His feathers.
And because I’m completely corny, and my last name is Hoots, I love that the term feathers has the correlation to owls. {I can’t help it. Corny is in my genes.}
Wow, did I just over think all that?
As a side note, I just enabled the email subscription button on the right side of the blog… that can make it easier for you to keep updated with new posts. This is all a learning process for me!
