At the BlogHer10 conference in August, I had my fortune told one night by a sassy-looking lady with an I Dream of Jeannie pony-tail who was sitting at a pink old-style typewriter. She would ask the name of the person at the front of the line, peer into her eyes and then furiously type just a few lines, haiku-ish. She’d rip off 2 inches of paper, sign and and slap a sticker on it.
I learned that the fortune-teller was the hilarious Jenny, The Bloggess.
Here’s what she said after taking a sip of her pink drink and gazing into my eyes. I think her words are a good way to usher in my new bloggy digs.
lori:old soul
new life
full of genuine awesomeness.
Thanks, Jenny. I’ve been told I’m full of many substances, but your version is one of my favorites.

Genuine Awesomeness…that would about sum it up!!! 🙂
“Genuine awesomeness” is a quality I can only hope to one day attain.
It’s perfect! Love the new title too although I’m sad to see WW go.
well she got that right!
cheers to new life and your genuine awesomeness.
are you sure she didn’t know you before?
What? No profanity from the Bloggess? Just perfect insight? I’d say it fits!
Congratulations on your new home!
That Bloggess sounds very wise, indeed. 🙂
That’s perfect! Accurate fortunetellers are the best kind. Happy new blog to you!
Oh, I agree with her wholeheartedly 🙂
Sounds like a very wise Jeannie! I can almost see her crossing her arms, flipping her head forward, flopping her pony-tail forward and back and saying: Genuine Awesomeness!
I agree!
Nice, I would say! Perfect, I would certainly say!
And hey, come on, who won the name the blog thing?
I’m crazy obsessed with the Bloggess, she rocks the free world! I’m so jealous, that is the most awesome fortune ever!
Lori, Have I told you how much I LOVE The new name for the blog…it’s just feels soooooo “RIGHT”
and as for “genuine awesomeness” …well that is EXACTLY how I see you.
HUGS ……love you and the new name!
xo
Jenny does indeed rock. So do you.
Jenny hit the nail right on the head. You are definitely full of genuine awesomeness.
So excited for your new move and new name. As someone who recently went through the re-naming process…I can relate to the difficulty of it. It’s sort of like re-naming a child, no? Speaking of that, my son told me yesterday that he didn’t want to be called ‘Sam’ anymore, but he wanted to be called “Tate”…?…But I digress…
I’m am your wish-chain ‘granter’. THough I can’t easily grant you your wish to publish a book, I’ll send you as much encouragement as I can right now: DO IT!!!! The world needs you approach and optimisim and realism. And I’ll put my prayers where my mouth is as well.
Love ya,
Eve
