Today I've officially completed my internet spring cleaning, which mainly consisted of consolidating my numerous internet "identities" into one that felt most appropriate for me and my personality. (This includes a brand new Twitter handle!) While I loved People Just Float as a title, it didn't quite work for me once I started to expand my writing interests on the blog and branch out into other social media networks.
It's been about a year or so since the "sleepy peach" concept took root and it's gradually grown into something that feels comfortable and right for me.
However, I want to avoid getting too literal with the peach idea, despite my scrumptious photo posted above. There are a lot of things that the new title elicits for me, such as food, feelings, color, seasons, plants, and—especially—the beauty of certain words when placed together.
Don't worry. I promise: no poetry. I actually like you.
Hopefully you all like the new blog title as much as I do (or, at the very least, don't care). If you hate it, well, you can tell me—I won't mind. (Unless you're my sister. She can keep her know-it-all comments to herself.)
Just in time to say goodbye to spring blossoms and with a fervent wish for the arrival of summer fruits, I'm happy to present my new personal space on the interwebs... which will likely feel very much the same.

Stace, I think this suits you perfectly. I always loved People Just Float, but like you said, The Sleepy Peach and feelings/colors/unique beauty associated just evokes... Stacy.
ReplyDeleteAn exciting fresh start - I can't wait to see where it takes you :)
True, I hesitated at the thought of your changing your blog title, but you're right, I do think it was time for a change. And I also think this will inspire you to write more posts, which is really what I want, anyways.
ReplyDeleteThis name sounds perfect for your writing style and the topics you cover (not to mention, the ones we enjoy reading!) Congrats on the new blog-you!
I third that! GREAT name. I have been wanting to change mine pretty much since I adopted it, and I have never been able to come up with something cute but not dumb, evocative but not over-dramatic, and of course, original. And a blog by nature is something that you yourself should feel totally happy with, no matter how often it needs to change. Hmm.. I think there's a metaphor in there somewhere. Can't wait to see more!
