Headers and Footers/Titles and Conclusions

One of the great joys of blogging for me during the early years was changing the header.  Hope Echoes was always the title name I wanted, but I liked to change out the photo and the font often.  I delighted in seeing something new when I opened up the blog.  And I do this largely for me, so when I read that it is good to stay with the same title to develop a "brand" I wasn't all that impressed.  I did what I liked.

I like this lily up at the top. Lilies aren't my favorite flower, but they are beautiful and I like them.  This particular lily was extremely photogenic.  I have a lot of pictures of her and I am pretty sure that she is long gone since the new owners of the house have changed the gardens.  That is fine, I think change is perfect.  I smile when I see the memory of the lily at the top of the blog.

I don't do pictures much on the blog these days.  If I do put a photo, it is pulled out of the archive rather than something taken recently.  I may change that, or I may not.  One of the things I love about my life now is that I don't live  with "rules."  I don't have to blog every day.  I don't have to cook dinner.  I don't have to go to work.  The things I do, I can do with joy and intention rather than stress and necessity.  This is a big deal.

I was thinking about working with the camera again, about changing the header, and someday I might do that, or I might not.
