What's In a Name?

Welcome to my brand new blog!

Over the past few weeks, I have been continually asking myself "What's in a name?" 

Recently, I have been feeling the need to make a change here in blog-land, and find a name more relevant to my current blog and where I want to take it. Hockey Wife, Hockey Life was a great name for my blog for some time, yet lately I have felt it didn't capture all that I wanted my blog to be. This blog has become more than just 'hockey wife, hockey life,' and my life incorporates so many different aspects. I am more than just a hockey wife, so why limit myself to that? So I have been asking, what is in a name?

Here on the blog, I have been writing about a variety of things- travels and trips, life, love, wine, our wedding, recipes, and really anything that comes to mind. As I searched for a new blog name, I wanted something that would be relevant to my blog's past, to how I see it right now, and to the future. I don't know where I will be six months from now, let alone six years from now. I don't know what I will be blogging (or not blogging) about… The last thing I wanted to do was lock myself into a name that would only be relevant for a year or two. 

In the end, I realized that it is not really the name of this space that matters. It is the content I am producing, and what I choose to write about. Because I never know what this will be, the best name for my blog is the name for myself. So with that, welcome to my brand new blog! I hope to continue to post on travel and daily life, with a few recipes and random posts mixed in. For my readers, thank you so much for your support and I look forward to continuing down this journey with you! 

A short note: as I just switched my URL from www.hockeywifehockeylife.com to www.SamanthaAngell.com, it may take me a few days to get all of my links up and running! Please be patient in the meanwhile. I can't wait to continue posting with my new name!
