What's in a name?

Permanent Markers. Why? You know, that’s a great question. I’d love to say I came up with it one magical night while drinking a glass of wine and listening to Enya. But sadly no,  it was all my sister’s doing.

In an effort to be super witty and smart, it was this simple and strong one that stuck. The second she said it light bulbs went off and when that happens, I knew. You know? 

We all have permanent markers in our life. Moments that happily define us, moments we wish we could take back or ones that just feel like passing ships on a summers eve. But what they all have in common is that they are part of our journey. I wanted a name that was broad enough to encompass all the twists and turns in life yet strong enough to acknowledge both the positive and negative. 

Permanent Markers was just that, I can’t thank my sister enough.

So as my own moments weave their way through the life of this site feel free to call me out, drop a note, get mad, laugh or simply smile. Whatever floats your boat.

PS - We can’t always choose what we go through but we can choose how we react to it.
