What's In a Name

So my assignment today is to explain the name of my blog. Well, simply put, it is the name of my business Purple Treasures. I guess the story is from where that name came from. When I first created my ebay account like 10 years ago, I couldn't come up with a user name that wasn't already taken. To help, the website asked several questions to help come up with one, things like your favorite color, favorite things...those sorts of things. So ebay created the name purple treasures for me as my new user name. Well at the time I drove a bright purple Neon that everyone loved to comment on. So when the girls at work found out about my ebay name, they cracked up. It so fit because of the car. Then they saw a picture of my senior prom dress, which happened to be the same shade of purple, and well the nickname just stuck. When it came to naming my little business, I figured why not use that since so many people already associated it with me. It may not make a lot of sense to some folks, but it is sorta special to me.



On a serious note, please pray for my family right now. My uncle has been suffering with dementia for awhile now and he has had 2 strokes since New Years. We were back in the emergency room with him again tonight. My poor aunt is just at the end of her rope. At this point there is not much that can be done. My prayer is that he is not suffering or in any pain. His doctor told us tonight that he feels the end will come soon. He and my aunt have been married 58 years. I know she will be lost without him.



I hope to hear from some of my other bloggy friends. Until tomorrow...
