I'm not a mom and yet I think you're domain name expresses who you are. There's nothing wrong with that and if people can't relate then they don't deserve to visit.

I think in the end, the reason why you are successful today is the fact that you persevered despite the situations thrown at you, or even the situation you brought upon yourself. You may have had a slow start, but as my father says, it's not how you start but how you finish.. And you are definitely off to a strong finish..

I can relate to regrets, however if we were meant to have taken different actions at that time in the past, we would have. I think it's easy for us to look back now, having more strength, courage, knowledge, and confidence than we did then, and think "why didn't I do such and such?". We weren't the same person then, and we didn't have the same tools. Wow, this is really good, I'm glad you posted this because it's made me think about my own regrets....something I've been struggling with for the past year or so. Thanks Wendy!! :) All the best, JoLynn Hi Wendy!

Every time I think up a good name for something, of course it's taken. And normally it's not even being used, but some rummy is trying to sell it for $2500. And getting my personal domain name was insanely easy, just had to offer up a web design for them on another domain and wham, got my name. The domain name thing is quite frustrating.
