Change is not easy, but it is necessary! If you have been to 21 Flavors fo Splendor before, you see that a whole lot is different around here. And if this is your first time visiting, welcome and I hope you stay a while.
Almost 4 years ago when I started 21 Flavors of Splendor and blogging, I could have never imagined the journey it would take us on and the growth I would experience as a result of me just simply wanting to share my heart and life with you. Yet, despite all the fun, growth, community we have had, I felt it was time to not just change, but go beyond.
Just like 21 Flavors of Splendor started with God prompting me, so did Beyond Committed.
So Why The Name Change?
As I started to take a honest look at my own growth and what my new vision of the blog should be, it became apparent to me that the name no longer fit. I knew God was calling me to not just blog and to find ways to serve you, as my audience better. So I needed a new name that would not just fit today, but that would fit and grow as I and this new business grows.
And though your beginning was small,
yet your latter end would greatly increase.
Job 8:7 (AMPC)
So I did what I do when I am unsure or unclear about something or what decision to make. I prayed! You know that prayer is my go-to for every situation and something that I encourage you to do as well. Then one morning before church while talking to my husband, Eric, the name came to me. Beyond Committed.
Why Beyond Committed?
The name was the perfect fit because I am all about going beyond and being committed. I want us all to take our lives, faith, marriages, parenting and relationships beyond. While also being committed to them, so that is how the name Beyond Committed was born.
What Is Beyond Committed All About?
Here I am all about encouraging, inspiring and helping you take your life, faith, marriages, parenting and relationships beyond. While also helping you to not just navigate the shifts in life, but to thrive in and through them with clarity, confidence, and greater connections.
The blog content is here to stay. I love to write and share my heart, insights, and life with you. Yet, Beyond Committed is more than a blog. I am all about building community and us putting in the work together to build each other up. So along with the blog, you will also find a variety of free challenges, opportunities for free webinars, one-on-one coaching, speaking, and so much more.
I hope we go on this journey together, we stay connected & committed to going BEYOND together!
And I’d love to hear from you & see what areas
of your life you want to go BEYOND in the comments!
