Well done. Your spirit name is perfect. Since you chose it for yourself, it’s deeply personal and meaningful. Kudos to you for having the courage to make that change and step into your self. 🌿

Interesting to me since I’ve always know you with your SMA name, but also because in personally went through a similar change of names at two points in my life, and ended up at a combination of my birth names, one of which became an initial. Then my first grandchild couldn’t pronounce my preferred name for becoming a grandmother, and he innocently ended up at the nickname of the one birth name I had dropped ( I started with 4), and it was the one that my birth mother had added to the mix ( she left me at the hospital after delivering me, in the custody of my father she had just divorced). Names are always an interesting topic in our family!

It's true, names are truly fascinating! I'm always amazed (and a tad envious) of my friends who have kept their same names throughout their lifetimes. At the same time, I sort of like having my name represent identity shifts and growth.
