Cerulean Cashmere Aspirations

Most festive, heartfelt & hopeful wishes for two thousand & nine to all. I hope the changes the past year has brought have been welcome & that you are looking forward to changes & personal growth that this new year brings to you.

Every year, I choose a name that I feel & believe shapes the person I am & the values I seek for myself.I've loved the name I've been using is the one that I love the most of the names I've used in the past & part of me would like to keep using the name for another year. On the other hand, I'm looking forward to the way I can grow with a new name & changes that I bring to myself with it. This year, I move on to Cerulean Cashmere Aspirations.

Cerulean, referring to a blueish-green shade, arose out of the Latin caeruleus, caelulum, & caelum, which were used to refer to the colour of the heavens & the sky. Merely the word, makes me want to look up into the skies, bask in the sun & wait for the stars to be seen. Both literally & figuratively, cerulean makes me want to look up, be positive, patient & just believe that good things are coming my way.

Cashmere, the natural fibre, is famous for its softness, lightweight & incredible warmth. This year, I want to be less rough, less prone to temper, more calm, more collected & find more of my strength. It is these that I want to remind myself of with cashmere.

I was debating for sometime between aspirations & adaptations to complete my new name. The choice eventually became simple: I don't want to simply be malleable to that which comes along, I want to do so, but keeping in view something that I want to achieve. I want to keep dreaming, keep looking for new things to do, keep on aspiring.

I am thankful for Amaranthine Mystic Desires & cherise the year that passed with the name. This year, I move on to Cerulean Cashmere Aspirations.
