Oh I have business names in my pocket, don't you worry. The Facebook Page is Ali's Anthem, which came mostly from my music obsession. I've always felt I have had way more spiritual experiences through music than in church even. Perhaps that's blasphemy but it is what it is. The blog name is a play on words from a song I like and my sister has always joked about making a celebrity mag called "Diatribe" where we collect celebrity stories where they complain about mundane every day things that we have to deal with ourselves on a regular basis as regular people.
Now I want to shift this challenge to something more fun: YOU GUYS I JUST FOUND MY COMMENTS SECTION. There are 7 years worth of comments in there! Dang! So I want to thank all my readers in more ways than one, because you guys rock!
The thing is, there is such a laziness to me in such weird ways. I'm a very active person. In some ways I probably have ADD and my anxiety makes me obsessed with certain degrees of cleanliness and order but if something doesn't JUMP at me or present itself as easy to navigate, I won't always seek it out. So I'd seen a comment or two back in the day but as life has taken over I've definitely lost touch of little things.
In the world of Facebook and Instagram commentary is a big deal so why not here? Maybe there was a part of me that didn't want to read in case it was negative. Or maybe I just knew the select few that would rally.
I don't know that I consider blogging to be much of a business for me yet. My end goal is to absolutely write real things someday. I once had an epic dream for a music and food based magazine. I thought it would be fun to have my husband create recipes and wine pairings and I could have columns about the music to listen to while eating like "Pinot Noir and pasta requires Michael Buble to complete the evening." I'm ironic like that.
I also wanted to do some crazy romantic fiction because never in my life would anyone expect that from me and I bet that's a money-maker like Danielle Steele! I don't know about branding myself or having a real business name unless it came with a store front. And those you'll never get out of me.
But if you do have suggestions for blog names, please comment! I know how to find them now!
I've renamed this blog multiple times and this one, well "This Time Around," it's dedicated to and named by my best friend since the third grade whom I lovingly call "La," for seeing me through these trying times. It's the "Roaring 2020's." We've seen fires, murder hornets, a pandemic and The Tiger King. I finalized my divorce, am navigating single motherhood, working from home, distance learning and all the things. This time around should be something else.
