A wry thing

What's in a name? This question was posed in one of the first posts I read when I first started blogging back in May and according to the questioner, Loredana, the answer is: not much. If you want to know where her name comes from you can find out at her blog, where she goes by the name Lori.



For the past week I have been hosting Nuala Ní Chonchúir for the first leg of her virtual world tour, to promote her book of short fiction, Nude. Nuala has now travelled over to Tania Hershman's blog, TaniaWrites, where you can read more about Nuala and Nude. As past of my interview with Nuala I had the opportunity to ask three questions but I thought it would be a great idea to offer one of my bloggers the opportunity to ask one question, in exchange for me giving a little blog showcasing, and Lori was that lucky blogger!





Lori Tiron-Pandit has a blog and website combo, Daily Writing, which is characterised by immaculate presentation and thoughtfulness. Lori is, it is my belief, a truly thoughtful person. She thinks about the colours of her site, the presentation of the images, the wording of the, erm, words, in fact, she thinks about everything. I would describe her approach as holistic.


For someone as interested in visual art and design as myself, Lori's site is visually very appealing and beautifully illustrates the calmness and tranquility that I like to imagine Lori exuding.


Everything Lori presents on her blog and website, both images and written content, is done so in a very balanced yet imaginative way. She has a fantastic eye for detail and her site is both thought provoking and interesting: she manages to present spirituality, as well as moderating debates about it, in a thoughtful and intelligent way. I told you she was thoughtful!


And she has a sense of humour! An important thing for a wry thing like myself!


You may have noticed I have mentioned Lori's name a lot! Now don't go forgetting it!


So, what is in a name? Name is an anagram of amen, bet you couldn't have figured that one out, uh? Mine, in case you were interested, literally means Ewe rejoice of the fens, or, as I like to say, happy bog dwelling sheep! Lori's must mean something akin to...well, I suggest you hop over to her site and decide for yourselves!
