Why Jane Mabel?

"What is your middle name"? 

This is a question I have always hated being asked. When the dreaded question would arise I would laugh, swing my arm, and stomp my foot as I would announce with a painful southern twang BRANDY JANE MABEL..

So, why did I choose the 2 names I have disliked for my entire life? Honestly, as I started considering names for this little page it was probably the 2nd thing that popped in my head. Out of no where really, and it quite surprised me how much I liked it! The longer it lingered in my mind the more I  grew to love it! For the first time in my 30 long short years I love the sound of my name's southern flare and vintage feel. It feels good. So does starting this blog. A new beginning! A fresh perspective! Time to embrace all who God has made me to be!

  3. I LOVE this! I spent my whole life hating my middle name, "Gilman" - a family name. Sounded bizarre. Now as I have been through divorce and name changes, I have ultimately decided to use it as my last name - I have embraced it and have grown to love it.

    Already loving your blog!
    xoxo
