New Look, Same Great Taste

Yes. I changed the title of the blog.

No. That does not mean my content will change.

"Remembering Lauren" is exactly what I want to do. But, for some reason, I feel my initial title may be in need of retirement.

Lemme splain...

"Remembering Lauren" -- well, yeah -- I could never forget her. I don't need a blog with that title to ensure I will always remember her. And, it just seems too angst-ridden, or even cliche', now. No matter the mood of my post -- whether laughter through tears, thoughtful, sad, angry, melancholy, bittersweet, or whatever -- that title is not uplifting. I want my blogspace to be a place to write my mind without reservation. But, I also want it to be a place of contemplation, support, peace, and at times, even joy, for anyone else who happens across it. I feel the new title still allows me to honor her and the wonderful memories I have of her. Moreover, it invokes thoughts of much happier times for me.

If you hate it, let me know. But, I just can't imagine that Lauren would be pleased with a blog in her memory bearing the original title. Somehow, it just doesn't feel quite right anymore. But like I said, if you hate it, or if its too hard or too sad to see it change, let me know.

Much love from KC,

P.S. If you have a suggestion for a title (not that I'm gonna hold a contest or anything) I'd love hearing it. I haven't fully committed to "By the by...". I think I really like it and it reminds me of Lauren, but there may still be a better title out there.

I like the new name. You are right Lauren would have thought the old title were a bit plain. One time she wrote a story for the newspaper about these girls who helped pave the parking lot a school...she titled it "Girls Gone Gravel" as a play on "Girls Gone Wild"...Needless to say, that didn't get published. I would still be teasing her for that to this day! I love you girl ~Jamie

Cool. I'm glad you approve. The old title was what it needed to be (for me) at the time. And at first, I felt like I was somehow betraying her -- like, I wasn't being as sad as I should be -- by changing it. But, overall, I think it's a good change.

Six days to go! I'm jittering (is that a word?) with excitement!
: D Love you!
