New Month. New Blog.
When I restarted this blog under a new name, I began posting to the existing blog. A very large part of me didn’t want to let go of all the posts written over the last decade. During the design overhaul, something felt off. It didn’t matter which color palette I chose, or how I arranged my categories for the navigation. It felt off. This evening as I was chatting with a friend about how fast this year is going, I realized that June starts on Sunday. New month. New blog. So here we are on Day One of the new blog for my cozy corner of the internet. Oh, and if you visited prior to today, you’ll notice the name change.

Nim’s Cozy Corner is now Betty’s Cozy Corner.
For years I avoided using my given name when blogging, but the change feels right. Change is good, at least that’s what they tell me. Over the years I’ve learned to embrace change.
This extension of my personal journal allows me to share the things I love in a visual way. It’s one thing to write about a great book I’ve read in my journal. It’s another to share my thoughts on a book, provide a link to an author site and show an image of the cover. It’s putting back into the world. As a Christian this is something that’s near and dear to my heart. Putting love, compassion, empathy, kindness into the community around me and beyond while sharing my love of the Gospel of Christ. I hope to do that here as well as share the things I enjoy in this season of life.
Baking. Reading. Photography. Gaming. Crafting. Movies and TV series. I still call it TV even if shows are through streaming services. I’m 63 years old. I watch my movies and shows on a television screen, not my phone or a tablet like my grown children often do.
There are a few other ideas banging about in my head, but I’ll keep them on the backburner for a bit longer as I navigate my semi-retired life going forward. In a few days, I’ll be officially returning to administration for my church. I’m looking forward to it! Hooray for new seasons in life even if I’m having a hard time adjusting to being referred to as a senior citizen.
Peace,
Betty
