Welcome!

My husband and I always gave great thought to the names we gave our children. We believe the meaning of a name can really impact the personality and life of a person. Naomi means 'pleasant'. I have kind of always struggled with identifying with it. I mean, I have been described as pleasant many times, and I have a general perception of myself as being pleasant. But still... it's not very exciting, is it? So trying to find a blog name that described me and my journey, I started to look up pleasant, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this in Wikipedia:

"pleas·ant/ˈplezənt/Adjective

1. Giving a sense of happy satisfaction or enjoyment.

2. (of a person or their manner) Friendly and considerate; likable."

Suddenly, pleasant had new meaning and I liked it! I am friendly and considerate. I think of myself as likable (on a good day!) and I am always seeking a sense of happy satisfaction or enjoyment. I like that a lot! So, since my blog is going to be about my journey as I grow in my role as a child of God, a true wife, a nurturing mum and home educator, it only made sense I embraced me and brought more meaning to my pleasantness by naming the blog after it and my journey. Welcome to Pleasant Paths :)
